 Many thanks to all those who responded to my request about pogies.
 Probably the best solution for us is to use pogies with light
 waterproof  gloves.  We have heard there is an Avon product called "Skin
 So Soft" that doubles as an insect repelant.  Is this really true?  If
 so, where can we get it?

Keith,
You need to find a Avon salesperson to get some SSS.  I found that it did not
work all that great and it makes you smell kinda *fruity*.  We used it  for
sand fleas and chiggers in Costa Rica and El Salvador with marginal results.
It does work so so <skin *so so*ft> for mosquitos.  I still go for the
Military dose of DEET when it really matters!
