Buggstopper

Certainly well made and true fit to size. I did think the hoodie would be of a lighter material

Bug stopper technology needs work

Definitely didn’t stop swarm of Mosquitoes I was in down in Keys but guess better then regular hoody. Still needed Off Spray to keep Mosquitoes off. Bit right through hoody. My back was tore up. Nice quality, lightweight and comfortable but think to overpriced cause didn’t exactly do what it said it could.

Great Product

Fits true to size, very comfortable, does not cling to my body like other sun shirts do which I appreciate. My first bug stopper is about 5 years old and seen hundreds of days of use but is still in good condition. It was time for a new one and I will buy these shirts again and again.

Works well

I have been wearing this on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska fishing the Russian and Kenai Rivers for the last two weeks and it really repels the mosquitoes which are plentiful here.

Amazing Bug Stopper Hoddy

This is a great product it dry's fast and keeps the Bugs off while being cool. I live in NE and spend time in the Sandhills where it is hot, Windy and buggy. I was also recently in the high desert of Southern CA and found it very comfortable! Simms is the Best!
