Ahh, hiking kilted, a topic close to my heart. I'm planning a week on the trail in Vermont in the next few weeks.

Ben's bug repellant, in the bright orange bottle, is the only thing that really works. It's about 98% DEET, and you should avoid spraying it on your kilt, or any other clothing, as it will discolour and eventually eat through it. Yes, you're putting that on your skin. The reward comes when the mosquito lands on you and then you can watch it die as the toxins course through it....
