ExOfficio BugsAway Baja Shirt

Mosquitoes love me, so I wasn’t sure how successful the ExOfficio BugsAway products would be. I took along their Baja shirt on a couple trips to Mexico and was pleasantly surprised. I came away with no bites on my upper body when I wore the shirt. I wish I’d had some BugsAway pants, as my legs and ankles weren’t so lucky. The Baja shirt also is an excellent sun shirt with quick-dry poly/cotton blend fabric and a UPF 30+ rating. The “adventure” design has been toned down to look more streamlined, but just as functional. The snaps are hidden down the front, and the back ventilation is along the sides, not across the back. This shirt served me well both on trails and in towns. The BugsAway quality lasts for 70 washings, leaving me over 65 more adventures with this shirt.
