Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Insect Shield Hoodie

It works - keeps the bugs away, right weight so don't get hot

This is my second insect shield hoodie. It seems like every summer there is a warning about mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus, and I feel better wearing this clothing item. I also find it light enough that I am comfortable wearing it on a warm summer day.

looks great - fits great, happy to own it . . . hopefully it repels bugs as that's the main impetus behind the purchase.

Works like a charm no bugs at all. Very comfortable shirt.

On our vacation last week, my husband was the only one on the hiking trail with insect protection - this Insect Shield hooded shirt. He was not bothered at all by mosquitoes, while the rest of us were constantly swatting the bugs away. It really works! Great also for fishing off the pier at dusk.

Never written a review beforebut just finished the John Muir Trail (in a heavy snow year) and this hoodie was freakin unbelievable. We used them in the mornings and afternoons/evenings. Too hot to hike in midday. We camped in areas with LOTS of mosquitos, where none others would dare, and this thing keeps the bugs away. There were only a couple of times we even needed our big head nets. It was truly astonishing and added immensely to our trip options and sanity.

Love this shirt! It really keeps the bugs away and I like the style of the hoodie with thumb hooks. I can cover up and not wear bug spray. Not a bite on me! PLEASE MAKE MORE and ADD COLORS! I like the cottony feel. I did have to size up in order for a looser fit, but ordered 2 instead of one when I exchanged.

I bought this is a birthday present for my husband who can be rather fussy about his clothing. He also is a bug "attractor" when gardening or hiking. This item is a perfect fit in every way except for the bugs who haven't come near it.

Gifted to a surveyor who often works in the brush with ticks and mosquitoes. He was so impressed the very first day he wore it that he declared it was a game changer, and washed it out so that he could wear it again the very next day. -I sent him 4 more so he'd have a week's worth! Lol It's even comfortable in the Texas summer heat.

Shirt kept the critters away, but warm and doesn't breathe very well but worked and lite

It really works! Kept black flies and mosquitoes at bay, in the woods, on the deck and the Lake.

I really like these insect shield line. Stayed out all night in hammock to try out, and worked well as we've had much rain and mosquitoes. Size is right we've had a little looseness which you need. Sharpie hashmark on label after each wash, as the hoodies claim effectiveness for 70 washes.

This lightweight hoodie is very comfortable, looks good and keeps the bugs away!

Get it, New Hampshire here. Nights by the campfire still got me tore up. But these shirts worked. What voodoo is this.

I hiked the white mountains in NH with little bug problems while others with me used bug nets

The shirt with hood was great for black fly season in northern Maine! I was really surprised at just how effective it was. In addition the shirt is a very comfy, lightweight, loose fit. Love it!

I bought this shirt for a fly fishing trip to northern Maine in late May. We had sunny, buggy weather and the shirt handled the sun and the bugs really well. I'm very happy with this purchase. Looking forward to testing it even further on a trip to the Boundary Waters later in June.

Great fit, very comfortable. Will purchase again.

Very happy with it. Works well so far and fits nicely.

Works well against mosquitoes and black flies. I wish the hood had a drawstring. That would make it work even better.

Great design and fit. This product is an excellent package. It is very nice to keep the bugs at bay when active with my projects.

Actually he tested it last night. There were so many mosquitoes out you could hear them all around. Did not get bit once. I guess it works great.

Soft, smell nice and helped with black flies during the season, always with mosquitos and chiggers. If you're out in the woods, buy treated bandanas for your pets too!

Good quality, fits well, and protects against chiggers and other biting insects.

It's very comfortable and easy to wear. It really does keep the bugs away!
