I understand that Off has a new product. It's a thing you hang around your neck to repel mosquitoes. Several people have said it works pretty good. Some people also swear by Avon's Skin so Soft. I found it somewhat effective, but I don't know if they make that anymore.

We are going to be in serious MT mosquito country in late June. The kind of place where, in the late afternoon/early evening, they will be on you in a minute after you get off your bike. I have every intention of taking my 100% DEET. And, as noted, they will bite through things like spandex shorts.

If there is very little chance of encountering cool weather, you might consider polypropylene glove liners instead of full blown cool weather gloves. You car wear them under your cycling gloves to keep your fingers warm.
