Customers overwhelmingly praise this shirt for exceptional bug protection, comfort, and durability. Most report zero bug bites during outdoor activities like hiking, gardening, and sailing, with many owning multiple pieces due to consistent success. Reviewers commend the soft fabric, comfortable weight, and flattering fit across diverse body types. The shirt's aesthetic appeal and versatility—worn to the gym, on walks, and indoors—add to its appeal. A few note it runs warm for summer or mention sizing inconsistencies, and one experienced an allergic reaction, but these concerns are minor compared to widespread satisfaction.
The shirt kept the bugs off my arms (they attacked my forehead instead!). I really like the fit of this shirt. I only wish there was a better color selection.

Feels like wearing a wall
Fit: True to size
The shirt feels too heavy and the material is coarse and uncomfortable.

I line this shirt to wear and I also like it for the cat to sleep on when I fear he may have brought in a few baby ticks on his fur.
