Arc'teryx Envoy Shirt - Long-Sleeve - Men's - 2007 BCS

What they say is true, you get what you pay for. And when you pay for this shirt, you are getting the Arcteryx name and the associated attention to detail. The construction is top-notch, and the material is perfect for warm-weather traveling. I found the sizing to be consistent with regular clothing, but it is not necessarily slim fitting

Love these shirts - both long and short-sleeved versions. They're versatile, light weight but warm, they travel well and they're very durable. Wear 'em to work or play. Looks great too.

This shirt has snap buttons, not the regular button through a slit type fastening. Same for the hands. The buttons feel strong and not flimsy. After wearing it for a week, they don't show any sign of breaking in. I like the slightly stretchy material and is light weight and very breathable. The material is also slightly water resistant. I splashed some water on my face and drops that hit the shirt, rolled off with absorbing. It isn't water proof but has some water resistance.

The price is ridiculous. Luckily I picked this one up for a third of the cost from SaC. For a light-weight travel shirt with more features, the ex-officio line does a better job and Arc'teryx is more formal. I don't think the Envoy shirt is meant for hiking/backpacking. For heavy outdoor use, I would recommend ex-officio, which is what I use and they are lighter than this shirt for much less $$$.

I found the sleeves to be slightly longer than most shirts and the size of the wrists are much bigger. The wide radius sleeve slides well with my fat watch on the wrist.

The zipped break pocket is a touch and is good to keep any item in there safely without worrying if the item will fall out.

I was looking for a replacement for a North Face long-sleeve hiking shirt, but unfortunately TNF don't make a nice lightweight wicking shirt that is as good as the old one I have [Why do TNF abandon really great designs? This is the 3rd time this has happened to me]. I found the current TNF product line was either too heavy, the sleeves were too short (I'm 6'5'' and XXL sleeves were about 1 inch too short) or I just didn't like the plaid colors.

So despite the fact that these are pretty expensive (thanks to Backcountry the sale made the cost a lot more palatable), I went for 2 of them. The material is lightweight, with great stretch, and I really like the tailoring of the shirt. The shirt tail is pretty long (great for the taller person) and the sleeves are long enough to fit perfectly for me (I normally take a 37.5" sleeve).

The only thing that takes a little getting used to is that it uses poppers (or snaps) rather than buttons. It's not a big thing, but I feel like I'm back in the 70's / 80's ...

On the upside, the shirt is easily the smartest piece of outdoor clothing I have. It's really neat to have a tailored shirt that wicks and is partly showerproof.

Technical enough to take on hikes, stylish enough for a night out. This is the best shirt I have for traveling. Doesn't wrinkle, looks good, and launders easily.

An awesome shirt. The ability to dry quickly what really amazes me. The material is tough too. I slid on wet rocks when hiking for about 5m yet it held up well, no abrasions at all. Still looks new when I wore it for a nightout with friends.
Perfect if you bring it to travel as it needs no ironing and doesnt stink after you sweated in the hot sun. If it gets soiled just throw in the washer and hang it. It'll be dry in minutes!
Buy it without any doubt
