"Simms makes the best hoodys for the sun. Have not had a chance to test it on its bugstopping capabilities yet, however it is a super comfortable hoody to wear both in the sun and on cloudy days."
— Casey K. (5/5)
"Years ago Simms had a Solar Flex hoodie with a built in neck/face mask, I purchased a few pairs and sent them off to be treated by Insect Shield myself to make them into "Bug Stopper" hoodies as they were not sold by Simms in the Bug Stopper version, I liked the camo they used on those shirts better than what they use now and I love the fact the face/neck guard is built in. They are by far the best fishing shirts I have ever owned, wish Simms would do something like that again, but offer it in the Bug Stopper line up. Creating a shirt of this nature without the built in neck/face mask is completely illogical, if one is legitimately in a bug infested place, it makes all the difference in the World in your comfort level. Simms, if you want to take these hoodies from average to great, please make these changes and go back to this much better camo pattern. Photo included for reference. . ."

"I have a number of hooded shirts and neck gaiters and shirts with neck gaiters. This shirt uses a snap to snug the hood around your neck. Its a nice feature and keeps the gnats out which is my number one goal. I think the bugstopper treatment really works."
— Joseph M. (5/5)
"Just wore mine for a week straight in the Maine wilderness, doing heavy work in very buggy country — swarms of black flies, even this late in the season! I felt confident in my new Simm's bug shirt, day after day, surrounded by every kind of biting fly! Simm's makes a fantastic bug shirt!"
