I've had the opposite experience. The shirt comes with an integrated headnet. Even with copious amounts of DEET, they still land on your face, even if they don't bite, it can drive you a bit nuts. They also keep the black flies and white socks off. DEET doesn't seem to affect them very much. That said, I only wear mine in the very worst situations because they can get a bit hot.
