Customer Reviews for Men's Insect Shield Field Hoodie
View Product DetailsCustomer Reviews
What customers say:
Customers overwhelmingly praise the hoodie for exceptional insect protection, with most reporting zero bites during extended outdoor activities in high-risk environments like Maine woods and Canadian fishing trips. Reviewers consistently highlight the lightweight, breathable fabric and true-to-size fit that allows comfortable layering without bulk. The hood effectively protects the neck, ears, and forehead from insects. A small number note the fabric feels slightly crunchy compared to traditional cotton, and a few mention sizing inconsistencies or concerns about durability. Despite minor drawbacks, most customers consider it a reliable game-changer for outdoor safety.

Poor fit.

Height: 6'0"
Size Purchased: Large
Used for: Hiking
Super baggy with a ridiculously oversized ‘hood’. Bummer. I have used other branded sun shirts without fit issue. Seems well-constructed otherwise.

Good lightweight hoodie makes summer hikes in tick-prone area of Maine far more enjoyable. Wicks well. Repels skeeters too. Sale price was enough to make the choice clear. Arrived

A gift for my son. Good news! Mosquitos & other stinging, flying critters don’t like this shirt. A perfect repellent when working, mowing, fishing in bug infested areas.

Love it - will be purchasing more as gifts.
My husband loves the color, the fit and the weight - not too heavy and not too light. LLBean's quality is consistent and that is appreciated!

I intended this hoodie for my son, but then I tried it out. The hood stays in place to protect ears and feels weightless. The material ventilates well. Most importantly: no bites
