“OVERALL: 5-Stars, so far
FIT: True (I’m 5’11” and 185lbs) Size L allows me to layer a couple items underneath without stretching the hoody, looking bulky, or restricting movement. Works great with just a t-shirt, too. The wrist loops are a nice addition to help cover tops of hands and keep the sleeves from bunching up. My only request might be for an ever-so-slightly larger hood to better accommodate a variety of hats, but this is by no means a deal breaker.
FUNCTION: So far, it seems to repel everything from mosquitoes to the tiny no-see-ums that are normally an absolute plague. Breathability is as-advertised - it’s almost like not having it on. The true test will be a visit to the Minnesota/Canadian border this summer.
DURABILITY: I’ve only had for a couple weeks, so clearly this will take more time to determine. However, based on the nature of fine (but very breathable) mesh, you would probably want to avoid bushwhacking through heavy vegetation where it might get snagged. Or, given the price point, consider it a consumable and simply replace when it becomes a bit too holey.
PARTING THOUGHTS: Great buy, excellent value, does what it says it should do.”
“Love this. Fit is great. Doesn’t seem to add any extra warm on summer days and a great addition for when the bugs come out. I don’t like to use DEET if I don’t have to.”
“This is such a convenient product. I use this when I have to take my dog out at night. Its very lightweight but still offers protection from insects. I would normally wear a women's L or XL, but they were out of the women's version so I got this one. The band on the waist is slightly snug if I zip it up.”
“This has been great this summer when I'm active and don't want any extra layers on. It's super light, and when there's a breeze it actually feels cooler than had I stuck to just wearing a t-shirt. The sleeves are a generous length so when the mosquitoes have been super thick I could pull my hands into the sleeves and grasp them closed. The hood is great and I could pull it up and over my ball cap and that eliminated most mosquitoes around my face. I walked through a lot of wild raspberry patches this weekend and really expected this to come out looking shredded but it held up amazingly! I didn't press on if I was totally snagged on something but I didn't respond to every little time this got caught by thorns. I'm very pleased with this purchase!”
“I own the same one for women and bought this one for my husband. It is lightweight, cool, and works great! It works to keep swarms of black flies off in Maine, as well as gnats and mosquitoes in MD. We love it.”
