    These are put out by Bass Pro and they are awesome! I know that's an overused word but I'm here to tell you they work. I'm also talking about the ones for hot weather. I'm in the dead center of the Eastern half of OK and it's usually pretty warm here in October. I used them last year and they made the miserable enjoyable! I wore them under my Scentlok Savannah coveralls. Don't worry if you get heated up a little going to your stand, they even work better if you get a little hot. The only time they didn't work as much as I liked was if it was dead calm, something that doesn't happen much here! Because of the heat I would usually get completely dressed except for my head and then put on the enduraskin head covering with my Scentlok headcover over that after getting to my stand. If you have a decent breeze it feels like you put on and air conditioner! Seems like the hotter it gets the better they work! They are antimicrobial but I can still smell them a little even this year. They smell a little like a balloon and feel a little like one too. I imagine the Under Armour heat gear is the same thing but the Bass Pro price was right! Never got busted as long as I was wearing my Scentlok over it. I used the full set-up, shirt pants, gloves and headcovering (compression style) with Under Armour heat gear socks. Mosquitoes can bite through it though but not with it under my Scent-lok. lp

    I purchased one of the shirts 2 weeks ago and really like it. The price is great and it is super comfortable. Will definetly be looking into getting more for next season.

    the under armour stuff is ok, nike, rebok all the same. good for warmer weather but no matter what they make cant do anything for the cold sit. back to the old saying LAYERS! i wear a light one next to skin, a little heavier one, then fleece then jacket.i like the idea of no bugs though cause all of the "sports" brands that i have, and i have collected a ton over the years, i sit and watch the skeeter burrow right thru! gonna check out these enduraskins!!!!!

    thx

    I have the enduraskin top and you are right, it is great for those warm Oklahoma evenings. They are awesome at wicking away moisture and they keep you super comfy with some light wind. Is is one of my favorite things to wear during the early season.

    I wish I had the no skeeter bites gift!!! I would trade my no flea bite gift, LOL! I would even try the Tabasco trick if it would work, thin em out a little anyway. I watched one bite me on the back of the hand through my Enduraskins and when he got his little beak buried I had my hand on the back of my glove and pulled on it. Broke that little sucker right off! LOL! Things bowhunters will do for entertainment! LOL!!!

    I am a HUGE enduraskin fan. I have several sets of the base layers, be balaclava and the beanie hat. Cannnot beat them for warm weather hunting. Even cool weather high activity hunts (ELK) they hold up great.
