Too much insecticide!
Very pretty but loaded with insecticide. Wearing it everyday resulted in a rash on my legs. Within a couple of days without it, the rash disappeared. Clearly it is not good to wear

It works - keeps the bugs off neck which would otherwise be exposed

Insect Shield Headwear
I love this product! I have been pulling it up over my hair before I put a hat on to get deep into the bushes to weed. I also wear the full Insect Shield outfit - pants, top, socks

Works Great!
We bought this for my husband because he's a mosquito magnet, and it works great along with the insect shield shirt.

Cool in more than one way
I wasn't so much concerned with the gaiter's insect repellent qualities, as I use it when riding my bike in NYC. I bought it as a sunscreen. As far as I can tell its power to block

Hope to use it soon.
I have not had an opportunity to use it yet, so I cannot give it a fair rating.

Works but not as efficient as hopef
Does not seem to hold up after a couple of washings. I have followed washing directions and I was disappointed with performance.

Love this
Loved this! I am concerned about ticks and Lyme disease but love to go hiking. This is great to pop on and cover my hair as I hike in wooded areas.
