I've used Sawyer Products 20% Picaridin Insect Repellent for the last couple of seasons and been happy with it. Just used it this morning for a short hike in the BW. Since the active ingredient is the same percentage as the brand you posted, I'd expect them to perform identically.

Question about oil of lemon eucalyptus re mschi772 link. Will it make you smell like a big lemon smoothy and maybe be attractive to bears or other four legged critters? I'm serious not joking. I tried the citronella mosquito coils and they seemed to work fine but had a strong "candy" odor . I like the idea of a more natural repellent but don't want to attract a different kind of pest.
Switched from Deet to Picardian this year and thought it worked better for flies but still looking for something better ( the little bastiches love me)

You are going to laugh at this, but I've found this to be extremely effective and palatable to apply, and I'm not a baby: Babyganics Mosquito spray
I spent several hours installing gutters way up north last week at a BWCA connected lake, and the bugs were ravenous. This kept them from biting. The only thing I'd do before a trip is transfer the contents into a tightly sealable container.
