Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Insect Shield Hoodie

This is now the favorite ship for outdoor work and play! It really does help with the black flies and mosquitoes!

Fits true to size. Great quality and fit. Durable and breathable. Wore it for two days hiking in timber and prairies. Afterwards I did not find one tick, chigger, or mosquito bite on myself. Highly recommended.

Great lightweight hoodie that keeps the bugs away and looks great!

Purchased this hoodie, i normally take a medium but got the large to pull over a shirt. Tried this out the other day on a hike in the woods. Normally the flying insects love me for some reason. Put on this hoodie and pulled the hood and was not bothered once. Worked really well for me.

It was what I wanted and I'm glad I purchased it. I mow our lawn and we live in a forested area so many bugs flying and when I used the hooded tshirt with the bug resistant material it worked well.

Men's Tall fit my 6'3" 240 lb frame just great. Sleeve length is perfect. The weight of the fabric is not too light, not too heavy, just right. Felt great while making s'mores on a winter night at the beach in Florida. Also wore it to breakfast the next morning. Amazingly comfortable and breathable.

So glad I purchased this! perfect weight for a cool summer evening and I'll be honest I was skeptical about the insect repellant but it really does seem to work!

Not yet bugg tested, but a similar lightweight zip-up jacket has been, and that was fantastic! Fit is perfect, and the hoodie is very well-made.

I bought this as a gift for a friend who works outside and the first day he wore it, he said it was worth it's weight in gold! It was a little heavier material than he would want to wear on a super hot summer day, but other than that, he had no complaints.

I work as a nature guide, so this was especially functional in the field. Thought I was swarmed by mosquitos, they would land on me very briefly then fly away. The hoodie is a great must. With just a baseball cap and the hood drawn over, I didn't seem to encounter bugs around my head and face (even without bug repellent). I've worked it 3 times now with great confidence in it. After my first wearing of it, I noticed a hole near the stitching on the sleeve at the cuff. I don't recall snagging on anything?

Fantastic. Exactly as advertised. Don't know if it repels insects but the shirt is great.

I bought this for my son in law for his birthday...........He goes camping from May til October in New Hampshire and commented that the insect bites could be an issue............He got this and has had no problems since...........He loves it............beautiful color blue........I recommend it to anyone who spends alot of time outdoors.

I've had one of these for a couple of years and it still seems to work well with black flies and mosquitoes. Okay with deer flies, but then little slows them down. I particularly like the thumb notch. It's also warm without being too heavy,. Great products.

I got the first of these during blackly season- I found myself wearing it everyday. It got pretty grungy working in the garden so I bought a second to wear out and about. It is fantastic. Discourages blackflies, mosquitoes, mingies and deer flies. Don't go out without it.

Very nice,The only thing wrong is the sizing a large fit like a small

My wife likes it very much! It keeps the bugs away and its made of high quality fabric. Great value.

Not quite the thing for really hot and humid weather such as Summer in Maryland, but will undoubtedly use it more come Fall. We live in a wooded area and bugs of all types, but particularly ticks are a problem. The fit (2xl) was fine (loose) and the hood is a nice touch in areas with lots of flying bugs. Recommended!

Like this a lot - comfortable and it works - only criticism is the pastel only color palette

Nice looking and well made. Fits well. Material is a bit uncomfortable directly on the skin, so best to wear a thin layer underneathwhich makes it too warm for most days. Seems to do a good job warding off the bugs though.

Not lightweight for Texas (especially this year) - so not using it as much as I hoped. Looks,fit, color good. Need a hot weather version.

Extra large Bean products normally fit me loose, but comfortable. Upon receiving this hoodie found this x-large fit snug over a t-shirt. Now exchanging the x-large for a xx-large.

very comfortable kjasfdlkjasdflkjadsflkjasfdlikasf

Comfortable for cooler weather. Perfect for fall hiking or porch sitting with bugs. Cut slightly loose but gusset makes fit flattering despite looser fit.

I would like this more if it had pockets of any type.

Good fit I bought these bug resistant hoodies for my son and granddaughter who plan to spend time in the woods this summer. They fit well but I have not heard yet about their effectiveness so can't comment yet on that aspect. Both people are beloved by bugs so hopefully both tops will work well. .
