Hadley Wren Women's Lightweight Summer Insect Shield Scarf

Attractive and light weight. Does have a strong permethrin smell which fades with use. Does keep away bugs. Nice accessory for a tropical vacation.

I love functional things. This kept the bugs away from me in Maine, moreso than just spray alone. I appreciate how light and comforting it is to wear. It goes with most outfits because it is neutral. I kept it around my shoulders while I slept and it kept the bugs away so I didn't wake up with bites. Totally worth it!

light weight, cute, neutral color that goes with anything. wore it multiple ways on a safari trip and never felt or heard the bugs esp not near my face. can be added warmth if tied tightly or keep the wind off but more of a fashion functional accessory. one of my #1 recos for people going on safari or campaign

Bought for a safari trip to repel bugs. It stopped them biting by creating a physical barrier just like any scarf would do, but they still landed on it quite happily... so not sure it actually repelled very much.

I used this scarve for a recent trip to Alaska. While my fiance was fighting off bugs they didn't bother me and stayed away from me. Note: I also DID wear a hat, a shirt and pants that were insect repellent too...I LOVE this scarf...It has a natural, cottonlike, soft feeling rather than feeling synthetic, which is really nice next to my skin. I have a lot of skin sensitivities and this didn't both my skin in the least. This color is perfect for summer and I wore it both with my camping pants and t-shirt and parka as well as during my 'dress-up' nights with fancy clothes.I loved how large it is so that I could wear it around my shoulders as a shawl or around my neck wrapped multiple times for both protection from wind, biting insects and cold..This is such a lovely color, even prettier in real life than on my screen. I got a lot of compliments on this scarf and intend to take it camping for a week in mid-August where it is likely to get very dirty with the primitive conditions. I hope it will continue to keep those biting insects away, plus enjoy the cozy, comfortable and feminine, lovely, flowing, ample fabric of this scarf. I am thrilled to find this!

I got this because the bugs love me and I didn't want my trip to Africa to be wrought with itchy insect bites...or better yet, malaria. I love this scarf/shawl. It is lightweight, pretty, and has no smell to it. I will be wearing it often, even back home. Did the trick in Africa!

I really wasn't sure if this was going to work to repel mosquitos but I wanted to try it anyway because some of the trails I walk can be absolutely brutal with the little devils. This scarf really does work to keep them away from me! I haven't had a single bite on my upper body since I started using the scarf, and I even think the insects buzz my face less. The scarf is quite long, and there are lots of ways to configure it for coverage. What I've found works best for me is to drape it over my head, using a hat to hold it in place, and then I can hold the ends of the scarf in my hands so I can still move my arms while I'm walking, but my arms stay covered. My neck and upper back also get covered and my arms are protected all the way to my fingertips (because mosquito bites on the back of the hand are the worst!). I may look silly (haha) but I'm very happy with this solution to the pesky biters.

Nice fabric, looks good and didn't get to see if the insect shield works
