Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Insect Shield Pro Knit Hoodie

I have purchased three of these and would buy more if other colors were available.

This is the perfect hoodie to wear during the mosquito season. I don't have to spray myself with mosquito repellant when outside when wearing this hoodie.

I have two. I find the light weight and their effectiveness keeping bugs away to be a terrific combination.

This shirt s Great!! I'm a mosquito magnet and I didn't get one bite!!! It fits well and zi love the color!

This top is great for when I have to be out in the garden, which is a lot. Lightweight, stretchy and nice not to get eaten alive with mosquitoes. Purchased an XL because I want to move around freely doing yard work.

Very comfortable and I love the material! It also does fairly well repelling insects.

I bought this hoodie because it fit great, was comfortable and I loved the color. When I chose it from the rack I did not realize it was an insect shield. A very nice customer service rep pointed it out to me. It was an added bonus. I wore it hiking in the mountains and it kept me warm in the chill of the morning and kept the bugs off as the day progressed. I had many compliments on it by fellow hikers.

I would love to purchase more of this item. I hope you restock. The illness spread by these bugs are no joke.

Works well very comfortable. I bought a large , the medium fit well also but I allowed for layers underneath. Thinking about getting another color would love if it came in a print.

This hoodie is so light and perfect when you want an extra layer. And it's sooooo soft!

I am very happy with this - light weight for sun/ black fly season, has the bug protection. I appreciate the 1/4 zip for style and if I get warm I can also unzip it a little. I thought it ran true to size (XL). I didn't find it clingy like some reviews say - It is a stretchy light weight material.

Great product that is not only extremely comfort and versatile but also a great overall look

I love the lightweight fabric, and I purchased for the bug repellent, blue color is very pretty, lighter colors repel some insects. Intend to use for my lawn mowing chore this summer. I had your earlier version of summer hoodies, & they held up very well.

These are perfect for everyday wear over a layering tank on days in the 40s and 50s. I took one on our September trip to Lake Placid and loved it so much I asked for another one for Christmas. With the insect shield I was afraid it would be stiff or smelly, but neither is remotely true.

I have been too cheap to invest in anti-mosquito gear, never quite believing it would really work. This year, I was finally driven to distraction by the mosquitos in our yard, absolutely unable to garden night or day without being bitten to death, so I decided to gamble on this. I was AMAZED at how effective it is. I sat in the grass and weeded for an hour and a half with nary ONE BITE. That is absolutely unbelievable. I could SEE the mosquitos in the air, but not one landed on me. And, although long-sleeved, it is not too hot, even in August. I'm so impressed and glad I finally bought this!

I am the first person (and sometimes the only person) to get bit when mosquitoes are around, so I was super excited to find this. I wore it hiking in 80 degree weather and not only did it keep the bugs away, but I didn't overheat.

Wore this shirt on Isle Royale National Park and it protected me nicely from mosquitoes and flies. It was light weight even in the hot sun.

I wore my new hoodie for the first time climbing Blueberry Mtn in Benton, NH June 4th. I wore OFF on the way up but the bugs were bad, especially on the summit. Even though it was in the mid 70s and sunny, I put it on while I was on the summit and kept it on for my walk back down the mountain. I was not too hot because it is very lightweight and the bugs did not bother me after I put it on for the summit and my descent. I would highly recommend this hoodie.

I love this so much! Great fabric, so soft but durable. I wore the last one every single day from April through November. It's so nice not to have to soak clothes in permethrin and still get great protection from ticks and mosquitos. Please keep making this! Especially in colors that don't attract bugs and bees.

very comfortable, and perfect for our currently changeable weather. Love the feel, the fit and the color. Washes well too.

Fits well, looks nice, feels great, does a good job! Can't ask for anything more.

I live where there are a lot of mosquitos, at the beach and ticks, in the woods. I was bitten by a tick once and got very sick. With this shirt, I am no longer afraid to go to the beach at sunset or hike in the woods. It is a very good looking shirt, is so soft, and comfortable to wear. I just ordered a second shirt because it is my favorite outdoor shirt. I am 5'2", 127lbs and purchased a medium, regular size. It is relaxed but not a loose shirt. One can easily wear a light top under it comfortably as the weather gets cooler. Thank you, LLBean! Please continue to produce more clothing, like this shirt, that are nice looking and and do not make look one like we are just one of the guys on the trail!

So very comfortable. Used a a layer on our trip to Alaska. Seemed to repel insects well

I've been wearing it every morning this summer for walks. It keeps the bugs off even when I walk right by the water at sunrise. It's lightweight enough for the hottest days. I really hope LL Bean keeps making this one because I want to buy a new one every year!

Good for summertime mosquito repelling. I hate sprays and lotions so this is the ticket for me.
