Cutter and Off have historically used Deet as the active ingredient, but in the last couple years have started offering products with Picaridin.
Deet feels gross and melts plastic, whereas I feel almost nothing with Picaridin. There are lotions and sprays, but I prefer the spray. This is what I use almost exclusively:

For some reason, finding Picaridin-based products early last year and the year before was difficult, but this year it appears they're everywhere.
As I mentioned above, I've never bought Permethrin to treat my own clothes, but the hats I have that are pretreated have worked incredibly well, especially when paired with a spray.
