Mosquitoes and black flies just adore me--if I had a dollar for every bite I've ever gotten.... well I'd have a LOT of dollars!  I'm always the one who gets bitten 15 times in an hour while the person sitting next to me doesn't get bitten once.  I'm in and out of the house all day pretty much every day, so wearing bug spray really isn't an option.  Imagine my joy when I discovered bug-repellent clothing!

I've tried a few different brands and materials and all have their pros and cons.  This shirt fits very nicely and the material is really comfortable and breathes well.  The colors I've tried are attractive (lagoon and iris), and really this is exactly the type of t-shirt I wear all the time, bugs or not.  I only rated it 4 stars because it doesn't repel bugs quite as well as some other shirts I have.  However, they're polyester and just not comfortable in the summer.  This isn't a good shirt for deep woods hiking (or standing in a field watching fireworks on 4th of July...ouch) but totally perfect for summer outdoor parties. Also I wear them for gardening and playing with the dogs in the back yard and get far fewer bites than I would otherwise.
