"Best Buy" Bug Shirt
 |
“When I saw an ad for the Original Bug Shirt, I decided to try one. The shirt has solid, densely woven panels front, back and over the shoulders and neck where it touches the body. Wide, tight mesh panels on the sides create lots of airflow. The bottom of the shirt has a draw cord to pull it tight against jeans. At the top, a hood with see-through mesh protects the face. Everything is loose for lots of air movement.
“Customer reviews raved about the shirt, which is made by a small company in Trout Creek, Ont. The shirt had proven itself in the Canadian north woods, Alaskan tundra and southern swamps – any place that biting flies and mosquitoes can be found.
“After trying it out in our mosquito haven, both my wife and I agree, this shirt is amazingly comfortable and effective. My wife was recently diagnosed with lyme’s disease, which she got from a deer tick, so we’re getting serious about finding protective clothing.
“I paid an extra $10 for a fully detachable mesh face panel. It’s well worth it. The company also makes pants, gaiters and a full-head mesh hood. We’ll try the pants next. I already bought the hood, which is light and great for keeping clouds of gnats off the face.
“I ordered the shirt direct from the website www.bugshirt.com. Sells for $59.95 to $79.95 depending on options. A child’s version is also available.”
