The ExOfficio cloths insect shield cloths worked well for me. They are treated 
with Permethion and will withstand many launderings. I wore them for five months 
and never had to re-treat. I wore thier socks, pants, shirt and cap while in 
camp ( the one with the cape to protect your neck and ears). In bad mosquito 
areas I also used Deet on the back of my hands,cheeks, and forehead.

Last year, I bought some cheap cotton gloves (gardeners or runners, usually
about $2) and sprayed them with Permethion.  I can't use Deet without
getting a rash, so the answer for me was to cover up.  Long-sleeve shirt,
zip-off pants, gloves and head net.  There were some places where I needed
it all in N Cal, but usually a combo of the above and not stopping worked
OK.  I did retreat my clothes a couple of times at resupply points.
