I use repel Permanone, but the more-or-less full can is left over from last season. However, IMO if you wear calf length socks, and tuck you pants legs into your boots, your legs are fully protected anyway. Ditto LONG sleeve shirts with tight cuffs(I wear long sleeve camo tees). Wear a hat, spray repel(deet) around your collar and you are protected.

For ticks, perhaps (although not your hair and head). But that provides no protection from chiggers. Chiggers are microscopic and easily crawl through even tightly woven material, such as jeans.

Would that work out to 1:20 ratio or is my math wrong?
