I'm looking for recommendations for a bug spray that's:
1) odorless as possible
2) not gooey or sticky
3) preferably doesn't have Deet (which eats my watch crystal)
4) lasts for a couple hours at least
5) and keeps as many types of bugs away as possible.

Hope that isn't asking too much?????
Thanks in advance...

Wear a capolene (sp) turtle neck, long sleeves, and fingerless gloves
(the kind used in the tropics for sun protection work fine). Use a bug
spray/cream/whatever that contains a high quantity of Deet. There are
some that are almost odorless. Ben's 100% is what I use. Spray your
hat liberally with it, and apply it to your face, ears, and neck below
the turtle neck. Wash your hands. Put on the gloves/hat and you are
ready for whatever mom nature throws at you. It works for me in
Labrador where there are no-seeums, black flies, and mosquitos all at
the same time. It works against the mosquitos and white sox in Alaska.

Buy a fisherman's watch that attches to your vest.
