No Insects Landing Here, May 15, 2008
By: Skeetrap

"All I can say is I have 4 of these shirts. I trout fish at lease 4-5 times a week usually in the evening when the mosquitoes are the worst. I have washed each shirt many times over and they continue to repel any and all mosquitoes, knats and other flying and/or jumping insects. This is a Great product. I only wish I had these in the Adirondacks twenty years ago for the black flyes!"

Never use bug spray again!, January 22, 2008
By: pescator7 from New York, NY

"I purchased this shirt last spring for trout fishing in New England and wore it all summer long; both on the water and offf. Combined with a Buzz Off hat, the mosquitos, black flies and other pesky insects were kept at bay. The shirt continues to look great and perform well after numerous washings."

"Great shirt. I have worn many times on fishing trips. When used in combination with the Buzz Off cap, provided an excellent defense against the bugs"

"All the comments I made in my review of the Marquesas shirt apply, with one exceptional addition: this shirt keeps the bugs away! As with BUZZ OFF hats, wearing this shirt protects against blackflies crawling down inside your shirt and waders. The shirt is comfortable and dries quickly, and it looks good too."

forget the price - just get one, October 11, 2007
By: Socrates from Denver, Colorado

"These shirts are fantastic. Weather you are fishing, hunting, boating, -you name it- if its outside and there are bugs, this shirt keeps them away. They are perfect for fishing which I use them for but also if you are in the Caribbean or vacationing in other buggy places, these are a life saver. Don't forget to get one for your wife too - you'll be glad you did. The only down side is that they are a little pricey and the sleeves come a little short on me, but overall they well worth it to keep the bugs away."

great value product, October 4, 2007
By: flytyer1

"I have a number of these shirts and not only do they keep the bugs away, they are extremely comfortable! I even wear them to work at times just to make it a little easier to slip away at the end of the day for the evening rise."
