“We own a 45-acre forest in the Adirondack foothills. We NEVER go there without wearing INSECT SHIELD garb. We own their socks, pants, and shirts.
Their Field Shirt Pro (blue and sage, Men's M) is very comfortable and light weight and covers me right down to my wrists. It runs true to size (maybe a tiny bit large).
It gets dirty but it washes out well. It wicks perspration well.
It isn't extremely rugged. I wear it while chainsawing and breaking trails and clearing branches and trunks from trails. I am seeing a few wear spots and tiny "catches" that may eventually open up. I think this is a trade-off for being light and airy (which is great in the warm months).
I wish they made this shirt in other colors, like navy, black, dark green, etc. I only have BLUE and LIGHT INDIGO ... and they're not a lot different when viewed from a distance. LINEN and LIGHT SAGE are even blander and don't contrast enough with my STONE pants.
I will purchase this shirt again because it does what I want (although I'll never be able to know how many ticks were turned away). AND, I DO recommend it to friends.
PS: I am purchasing my 5th pair of INSECT SHIELD socks as soon as I finish this review and will soon send in some personal clothes for their treatment.”
