Customer Reviews ExOfficio BugsAway® Lumen Hoodie

I bought one before traveling to Costa Rica and hiked in the cloud forest. Light and comfortable and kept the bugs away. I recently bought 2 more in different colors.

I love this shirt but I am 4"11 and I felt it was a little tto long. The fabric and comfort was exceptional.

Excellent product, it was exactly what I expected. Thank you, Exofficio

The cornflower is a beautiful color. I bought a small but I could have worn xs as I have xs in other colors. I will keep it and wear it over a shirt.

Love these tops. They work for me in repelling bugs. And mosquitoes love me. I get many compliments while wearing them. Just added the peach to my collection.

I bought the hoody for a fly fishing trip to Alaska. The hoody is comfortable and stylish and the best part I didn't get one bite! It definitely protected me from the "bugs".

I was on a camping trip and was the only one to get mosquito bites the first night. I borrowed a friend's lumen hoody and didn't want to give it back! After wearing it, I didn't have any new bites. Because of the mesh design, it wasn't too hot even though the night time temps were still in the 90s. The bright bold colors are a nice touch too. I have two now and take them anywhere they might be needed.

Great travel hoody - lightweight yet warm. Layers well and has handy small zip pocket. And comes in great colors!

I LOVE the fit, lightweight, and matches quite a lot of my skirts. There is something, though, that makes my elbows itch. The white one, not so much, but the blue one yes.

Haven't yet warn this into bug country, but initial impression is good. Light, airy fabric should work well even if weather is warm, but also loose enough I can wear something underneath for warmth. I only wish the color was a bit more vibrant.

Just wore this during a backpacking trip. It did keep the mosquitos away. I purchased a 2XL, so I could wear it over my t-shirt and be comfortable. It stretched so much it was baggy so don't size up.

Nice color but the hoody is overly long and the pocket makes an unattractive bulge. It is not scaled for a petite frame. Ex officio ought to offer tops for petite women.

I absolutely love the top. It does stretch a bit after a couple wears on a trip.

I bought the first of two of these hoodies in the spring prior to leaving to hike on the Appalachian Trail in Maine. It was the cornflower color. I bought a second one in a darker color (burgundy) in the fall in anticipation of future hikes and backpacking adventures. I appreciated that it helped keep away the hoards of bugs we experienced on one part of the Hundred Mile Wilderness of the AT. I would put the hood up and then put on my hat and mosquito net to protect my face and neck from bugs. I liked that the sleeves were long as I could pull them over my hands to protect them from bugs. The kangaroo pocket was great for keeping my bug net and other needed items handy. The hoody also protected me from the sun without being too hot and it helped keep my warmer when it was cool. I didn't realize the hoody had a zipped security pocket in the kangaroo pocket until I washed it the first time. I liked the bright blue color but it did show the dirt that ended up on the sleeves and back section from climbing up and sliding down boulders. I was unable to completely clean this dirt out. Hence the purchase of the darker burgandy color for future adventures. I ordered the hoody in a medium (8-10). I also tried the small and both fit but I wanted to a loose fit and some room under it for other clothes so I kept the medium.

Like the color and pocket in front. Seems like it might snap easily but hasn't so far. I hate bugs so will do whatever to avoid bites as they love me.

I bought this because I typically get many mosquito bites when we go camping. This was soft and comfortable but I got several bites (through the hoody) before having to spray deet all over myself anyway. I bought two but as of now, I wouldn't buy again. I'm bummed!

This shirt is so lightweight it would be perfect for bug protection on a hot day or when you don't need any extra warmth. Plan to wear over just a light tank or t-shirt for bug protection. It's good looking, runs a little on the longer side

So I bought this shirt to go hang out in Peru in the Jungle and I am so glade I did. The mosquitoes are thinking I am a great feast. Wishing I had pants to match still hot though. I give it a 9 for working very well.

The hoody is perfect for travel. It is not bulky and takes up very little space for packing and I love the zippered pocket. A nice 2nd layer if it's a little cool.

I was not expecting the mesh/feel of the material. It feels too heavy and thick for summer use, but will be a good spring/fall layer.

Very comfortable and has nice long sleeves, but stretches A LOT! I suggest getting one size smaller than you usually would.

I live as a full-time volunteer in Haiti, so I was looking for something to wear to keep the mosquitoes away. I love this shirt, it fits well and is very comfortable. The material is light and airy with lots of little holes in it. The first few times I wore it I had no trouble with the mosquitoes, but the last time I wore it, I got bitten on the shoulder. I was very sad because I was hoping that I was wearing an impenetrable shield!

I did not like this hoodie on me nor did I like the fabric. Had to send back.

The sizing was not good, I returned it, not reordering. Too big.

I have 2 of these, bought at different times. It's a mystery how one got stained on the front and the cuffs in the first place, but no amount of pre-treating, multiple washes with air drying in between, etc. can get it clean. As it's white, I even bleached it in desperation as I was less concerned about the bugs-away feature yet I simply can't go out in public with this one on. I'm noting this in the hopes the company realizes that their products are designed to be used while hiking, rafting, walking on the beach, etc. and shouldn't be permanent dirt-magnets that won't come clean. I am very careful with my clothes and have only had this problem with 2 different ExO hoodies. (Lumen & Sol Cool Performance)
