Good Shirt
I can definitely say hunting early season archery last year and all of 2026 Spring turkey season, that Insect Shield is not effective. I have hunted central Virginia and coastal Virginia and was eaten alive without a thermacell turned on. I sprayed permethrin for the ticks and chiggers. The shirt runs big. A large fits like an extra large. The thumb loops are a great feature, the built in mask is just long enough to stay tucked into the top of the shirt and tight enough to stay on your face. The shirt length is great and designed to be turned into pants and it stays tucked. One chest pocket on your right side. As far as cooling of the shirt. Don’t expect miracles. This shirt breathes but you’ll still run hot once it gets mid 70s if you’re walking for any amount and wearing your vest. The Polygiene works fairly well and you can get away with not washing after every wear, especially if you didn’t sweat. I don’t always think that these clothes need to be a system, but the equinox garments are a “system” that I see the benefit.
