Nice travel sweatshirt.
Great lightweight travel sweatshirt. Haven’t tested yet with serious bugs but also haven’t been bitten on arms since purchase either. Packs very small and it’s light enough to wear when not cold out.

Best hiking shirt I own
I got my first shirt after getting a dangerous tick borne illness and started taking bug protection more seriously. I get bit like crazy by all bugs but with this shirt I can finally enjoy without that. Also this shirt temperature regulates amazingly, I wear a sports bra or shirt under it and I am always perfectly comfortable. Drys SUPER fast and is ultra durable. Had my first for years and still have it, got two more but none have burnt out yet. Many long trips all over USA and Europe. Can’t recommend enough. Worth every dollar. Reference I am 5ft4, 145lbs (but very “athletic”/fit/muscular build) and I wear a Medium and it’s very loose fitting. Large would be far too big. Small would probably be tighter but perfectly wearable. Just prefer it baggier.

Mosquito relief!
My daughter has An allergic reaction to mosquito bites. They are HUGE, red and swollen. I sent her to a lake area in the south east. The first night she forgot to wear her mosquito clothing and she got some awful bites. She wore her clothing the rest of the vacation and did not get one bite. What a relief!

So comfortable & no bugs
This is my third Lumina Hoody. I used them regularly in order to be able to enjoy Maine evenings without mosquitos or black flys. I was first sold on the Lumina Hoody when I used my first one hiking two days on the Appalachian Trail. Mosquitos buzzed away from my face, but never came near. The cotton/poly blend kept me comfortable in the humid weather with an occasional breeze flowing through the open weave. I bought this most recent hoody because I love the storm color.

Love it
I love the loose fit of this hoody. Even though a medium would have fit, I bought a large so that I could wear it over long sleeve shirts in cooler weather. I live in the woods, so mosquitoes and flies are horrendous from spring through fall. This isn’t a top that you would wear on its own though because it is see through. When it’s warm outside I wear a tank top underneath and I feel very comfortable. The top is breathable, so I don’t feel overly warm while wearing it. I like this hoody so much, I bought two more of them. For size reference I am 5’8” and I weigh 155 lbs.

Great for buggy evenings
Very comfortable and useful. It's quite loose, and the pocket is too lose for iphones, but still a shirt I wear often on hikes

The Perfect Summer Hoodie
Bought this in pink at The Mast General Store in Asheville and searched the ExO site for a new one during this pandemic. So happy to find it in green! This hoodie works really well because it has micro holes that let in the breeze, keep out the sun and the chemical deters the bugs. Love the cut, the pockets and the hood!

Too long
Nice color but the hoody is overly long and the pocket makes an unattractive bulge. It is not scaled for a petite frame. Ex officio ought to offer tops for petite women.

Always a Favorite
I love the Lumen Hoody. I have this in many colors. It fits more like a tunic. I get size small and it's pretty roomy. These are comfortable and casual. You can't go wrong with these!

Great features for backpacking
I bought the first of two of these hoodies in the spring prior to leaving to hike on the Appalachian Trail in Maine. It was the cornflower color. I bought a second one in a darker color (burgundy) in the fall in anticipation of future hikes and backpacking adventures. I appreciated that it helped keep away the hoards of bugs we experienced on one part of the Hundred Mile Wilderness of the AT. I would put the hood up and then put on my hat and mosquito net to protect my face and neck from bugs. I liked that the sleeves were long as I could pull them over my hands to protect them from bugs. The kangaroo pocket was great for keeping my bug net and other needed items handy. The hoody also protected me from the sun without being too hot and it helped keep my warmer when it was cool. I didn't realize the hoody had a zipped security pocket in the kangaroo pocket until I washed it the first time. I liked the bright blue color but it did show the dirt that ended up on the sleeves and back section from climbing up and sliding down boulders. I was unable to completely clean this dirt out. Hence the purchase of the darker burgandy color for future adventures. I ordered the hoody in a medium (8-10). I also tried the small and both fit but I wanted to a loose fit and some room under it for other clothes so I kept the medium.

Keeps bugs away.
Slipped this on after a few mosquito bites on my arms -- no more bites the rest of the evening!! Have also washed it and appears to keep its shape. Bugs beware, I'm protected.

Lightweight & bug free
I just took this on a camping trip amidst a EEE outbreak. I was comfortable wearing this on hot days & confidant during peak mosquito hours.

Very happy with this hoodie!
I’ve wanted to get one of these hoodies for a while, and I couldn’t pass it up on a Labor Day sale!
The fit is great, and it’s lightweight and comfortable. I typically wear a L to XL (14-16) and the XL was perfect.
I originally wanted to get a hoodie with insect repellent to keep in my emergency bag, but I’m now wearing this one fairly regularly. Mosquitos love me. We live in the country. I can’t even so much as let the dogs out without getting eaten alive. While I use bug spray or lotion before an outdoor adventure, I really don’t want to put on a bunch when I’m only going to be in the yard for a few minutes. The insect repellent in the fabric works exactly like it’s supposed to! I keep the hoodie in the coat closet and throw it on before I head out into the yard. I’m finally able to avoid getting bitten.
I’m very happy with this hoodie, and I will definitely be getting at least one more!

Bought this about 9 months ago and love it so mush for laying that I purchased a second. They look nice and don't make you hot.

Perfect fit, looks great!
TRANSPARENT! Be aware that no matter the color, this item is transparent. Completely see-through. A couple of reviews mentioned this, but not all reviews, so I think it bears repeating. I have not worn it in a high-mosquito area yet, so I don't know how well it will repel those pesky insects. I'll update this review if I get any bites. I will say that the styling is excellent, and I appreciate the light fabric. This is my 3rd BugsAway hoodie: two "modena" style and one that is more of a mesh or woven fabric. Both styles are lightweight which is essential, since you would only need such a garment when it's hot and mosquitoes are most likely. I am extremely comfortable in these no matter how hot and humid it is, and I can't stand to be hot. Hope this helps.

lightweight, effective
I was doing microbiology field work on the North Slope of Alaska and the mosquitoes were epic--requiring headnets and covering every surface.
This performed excellently and was not too hot (the Arctic was 71 degrees!).

Over priced and worthless
Bought this for my wife 1 year ago and has been worn 5 or 6 times total. Laundered 3-4 times according to label instructions. This past weekend in NW WY she was nearly eaten alive by mosquitoes landing on the garment and biting through it. Completely worthless for advertised purpose. Don't waste your money

Like the color and pocket in front. Seems like it might snap easily but hasn’t so far. I hate bugs so will do whatever to avoid bites as they love me.

Comfy but not great protection
I bought this because I typically get many mosquito bites when we go camping. This was soft and comfortable but I got several bites (through the hoody) before having to spray deet all over myself anyway. I bought two but as of now, I wouldn't buy again. I'm bummed!

Love but I got bitten!
I live as a full-time volunteer in Haiti, so I was looking for something to wear to keep the mosquitoes away. I love this shirt, it fits well and is very comfortable. The material is light and airy with lots of little holes in it. The first few times I wore it I had no trouble with the mosquitoes, but the last time I wore it, I got bitten on the shoulder. I was very sad because I was hoping that I was wearing an impenetrable shield!
