I'm tall and thin (5'11", 130 lbs., mid-B cup, and I usually wear a medium) and this shirt swam on me - the shoulders were cut right, but the fit was very boxy (like a guy's shirt) and much too short. I wear shirts like this at work (I'm a camera operator), and if I can't lift my arms over my head without exposing my stomach, it's a no-go.

I imagine this shirt would fit a larger-chested or more pear- or apple- shaped woman much better. (I'd recommend TNF Falls Creek woven shirt for willowy hourglass-types.)

Great fabric though - it was soft and the dark thistle color had a shimmery quality. I wish Ex Officio made more fitted shirts because I like the technical specs of their clothes.

This shirt is very light on the skin. After a day of fishing - and actually catching!- I wasn't done in the water, but I did not want to be in the sun anymore. I put this on uder my vest a little afraid if it would be comfortable. Forgot about that concern after the first cast. I'm 5'4" 125 and the small fits great. I like that it doesn't have shirt tails cuz it looks great tucked in or out. Nice added feature- the two zipper pockets!

I love this shirt! I own it in three colors in the checked pattern. They are extremely packable and light. I took two of them on a camping trip. I like to test my gear so for 3 days in a row I wore the same shirt without washing it. On the 3rd day it wasn't reekerific and my compadres could stand my stench. Everyone is different in their reek factor so take my advice accordingly. The other one I washed with a camp soap and hung it to dry overnight. We had rain that night and it was dry mid-morning without sun. I have also washed one of these shirts at home and immediately put it on---dry in 5-10 minutes.

One of the other reviewers didn't like the zip pockets. I have to disagree, I like the fact that they are understated pockets. I'm a photographer and like to throw my lens caps in and secure them with the zippers so they don't fall out. I know that Ex Officio makes a similar shirt with regular pockets so please don't change this feature. Also, some of the other viewers find this shirt on the short side. I have to agree, I'm 5"2" and this shirt is just a tiny bit short on me. I can't imagine having a long torso and wearing this so Ex Offico could definitely make it at least a tiny bit longer. They could also put the buttons on the outside of the sleeves a bit farther up. My arms are short and the sleeves hang below my elbows when utilizing the buttons. These are the only reasons that keep me from giving this shirt a 5 star rating.

I've put this shirt through the acid test and the material is very soft and extremely ballistic. I have no rips or tears after crawling through mud and rocks or scraping it against brush or trees. It also gets softer every time you wash it. In the past, performance clothing that dried quickly was extremely uncomfortable to wear. Not so with this shirt. Highly recommended for short torso individuals.

I bought this shirt in a small and found the shoulders binding so I ordered it in a medium. The sleeve length was ample. The fabric is luxurious and silky. The length hits high hip, but covers most of the t's that I will be wearing underneath. I wish it was about an inch longer though. The shirt is shaped and is flattering and functional. I am going someplace really hot so I'll write and let you know how it performs in situ.

I bought this shirt for upcoming trips to Europe and Africa, and I love it so much that I ordered another one in a different color. It can be dressed up or down, is supremely comfortable, and looks really sharp!

I'm 5"11, 150 with a larger chest and found this shirt to fit my longer arms and chest perfectly. I couldn't believe how light the fabric was and it almost felt like I was nearing nothing while spending the day at the themepark. The back vent and roll up sleeves were great for the hotter day. Rolling down the sleeves gave a little warmth when it cooled down after sunset but the back vent let in the cooler night air. Nothing a light jacket can't fix. My boyfriend commented on how light the fabric is and wants to get a mens version for theme park and other outdoor events.

I am a small person and the fit is great. The fabric is so soft. It keeps me from getting sunburned yet is not hot to wear even when the sun is blazing. I have worn it a lot as I hike at least twice a week anywhere from 3-4 to 8-9 miles. It is even comfortable when I am carrying a fully loaded pack.

I absolutely love this shirt!!! I bought it for my recent trip to Africa and it was all I expected. The fabric dries out quickly. It is so soft and comfortable and keeps you cool on an extremely hot day. The fit was excellent. I am petite (XS) and usually have problems with regular non-petite shirts being too long and big all around but this one fits me just perfect.

I do like this shirt. It's light and performed very well on an 8 day adventure trip. It is quite stylish and the medium fit well for my height (5'6") however might be a bit too short for someone taller but still a medium size. My only problem witn ex-officio shirts (I have another that I also like) is the front pockets -- I really don't understand the side zip - it makes it really hard to use it for plane tickets, etc. If this is a styling issue then forget the styling and go for function please.

Just got back from a 9-day rafting/hiking trip in the Canyon. I wore this shirt EVERY day. I paddled, oared, hiked, traversed over sharp rocks and in 100+ degree heat. I also washed it in the river about five times with some camp suds. I don't know how this shirt compares to others- this is the first time I purchased one like it, but I can tell you this shirt withstood it all-- and then some. The long sleeves worked great to keep me cool and protected in the desert.

I ordered a size small- and it fit me (and my broad shoulders) perfectly. I'm about 5"4' - so borderline petite.

Love this shirt. Just returned from a trip to Ireland and this shirt was comfortable while hiking in the "moist" countryside of Ireland and stylish enough to wear out in the evening. Able to washed it in the sink at the hotel...was perfect the next day to wear again.
