Just a note that there's Permethrin, which is used to treat clothes, hats, tents, etc. and Picaridin, which is used to treat skin, hair, etc. I've never had a need for the former (some of my clothing and accessories come pretreated), but the latter I use often—I keep a small can pretty much everywhere.

Also, today's fabrics are so light that wearing long pants and shirts, even in hot weather, is not a bad idea. Doing so, of course, also minimizes sun damage.
