View Product DetailsCustomer Reviews
What customers say:
Customers overwhelmingly praise this hoodie for exceptional insect protection, with many reporting zero bites in high-risk environments like Maine and Belize, even outperforming chemical sprays. The soft, lightweight, breathable fabric is described as buttery and silky, with a stretchy fit featuring thumb holes and a 1/4 zip for temperature control. The generous hood and long hem provide practical coverage, while the flattering design comes in vibrant colors. A few note fabric cling or thinness, but these minor concerns are vastly outweighed by enthusiastic repeat purchases and strong overall satisfaction.

I love this top. Even though it has long sleeves the material keeps me cool and offers much needed sun protection and bug protection. I got a larger size so it fits a little looser

Best Raincoat Ever!
I bought this raincoat for a trip cross country. It stows away neatly. It came in handy in Sedona Az with a sudden downpour. Dried quickly and went back into its pouch.

I recently purchased this hoodie and have worn it for huckleberry picking. As I hoped, it did indeed discourage the bugs from pestering me!
