Zorrel - Insect Shield Apparel Long Sleeve Tee Shirt

**This is a unisex shirt (or at least plain enough that we girls can wear it, too) with men''s sizing. For reference, I''m tall and usually a women''s M and the small fit well -after the first wash, it was a little loose but snug enough for active endeavors. I bought it because the price was lower than other Insect Shield shirts and because I didn''t want to be dressed like a 50-year old tourist (camp shirts, awkward fitting button-downs, etc). I just wanted a plain shirt that would work for a variety of outdoor activities.

PROS:

-Keeps the bugs away. First tested this out in the rain forest. To be fair, I was also using Insect Repellent. But when I was hiking, everyone who had showered in Deep Woods Off still had a few bites, while I did not. Didn''t see any bugs land on me then die, though. It was more like there was a protective bubble around me, while my friends were constantly swatting at bugs.

-Packs well. Bought an extra one that lives rolled up in my bag, just in case (and those cases have been many).

-Dries quickly. Hand washed on a trip and it was dry by morning, even in a humid area. When on, the moisture wicking properties work pretty well, too.

-For the ladies: It doesn''t scream "functional clothing." To compare: the Ex Officio Insect Shield shirts look like I went vacation shopping at Orvis. In other words, they might be OK when I''m in the jungle 1000s of miles from home and desperate for a piece of clothing that works, but I wouldn''t wear one once I returned home. With the Zorrel one, I can go for a jog, sit out on the patio, etc. (= more uses AND a lower price.)

CONS:

-It has some synthetic fibers along with the cotton, so it''s not the softest, but it''s still comfortable.

-It eventually loses effectiveness

BOTTOM LINE:

Great adjunct to bug spray, etc if you''re in an area with malaria and a great way to skip the smelly bug spray if you''re walking the dog or in the backyard.

I bought these for my husband to mow the lawn in and work outside. Living in Alaska we have many bugs as we have a large wooded property. The shirts work well, just as well as more expensive brands.

I have only worn it on one three-day outing. It seems to work fine. The cotton poly blend seems just right for backpacking. I would have given it 5 stars, but the sleeves are too tight. The cut is like long underwear rather than a t-shirt. I can''t push the sleeves up above my wrists.

If you want a small your going to get a small for sure. Its a little tight in the arms and I''m a pretty skinny guy already, so if you have doubts, buy a medium, it should fit perfect. Im looking forward to getting covered in bugs and watch them fall off.

Exlcellent product. Size fit as stated. I wore this shirt on an all night fishing and camping trip in Alaska. Mosquitoes were as thick as fog and they never touched me.
