I was a bit skeptical and wasn't sure that I believed that this shirt would really keep the bugs off me, but I have been pleasantly surprised - it works! I'm going out to work in the yard later this morning and will be wearing it.

I love this shirt! It fits great and it’s soft and comfortable, with just the right amount of stretch and shaping. I’m 71 and have sensitive skin, so I’m fussy about my clothing. Coming from Connecticut and living now in western North Carolina, I’ve always been worried about Lyme disease and ticks, and we’ve used permethrin sprays and wipes for many years on the horses and dogs to prevent tick-borne and mosquito-borne diseases. I used to spray my clothing, also, with a permethrin-based insect repellent so I could ride, put up fences, garden, and cut brush without worrying too much about ticks. Now I have the perfect solution—InsectShield clothing. I have two of the short-sleeved shirts and a long-sleeved one for spring and fall. Then I bought several pairs of socks for my husband and myself, and added a pair of yoga pants. Everything is really well made, doesn’t irritate my skin, and has no chemical smell. And it works! A friend and I were cleaning brush and he was picking off ticks like crazy. I had zero ticks on my skin, and found only one on my (non-InsectShield) jeans—and that one was barely alive. I will be ordering the jeans soon also…

I usually wear a small T-shirt. Given the reviews I read saying this shirt runs small, I ordered a medium. It was WAY too small. I exchanged it for a Large. The exchange process was excellent. They shipped the shirt before even receiving the returned one and it arrived the day before my trip to the Everglades. The insect repellency worked well. I spent a day hiking in the Everglades and didn’t get one bite. I recommend this shirt, but definitely order 2 sizes bigger than you usually wear.
