Ranked #822 - Men's Performance Shirts - Short Sleeve
January 12, 2009
I am 5'9'', 160 lbs and use a large. Loose fit. I run/jog in this shirt. For this, it feels great in the peak of hot/humid summer in the south. It performs as advertised: wicks moisture, blocks sun, allows ventilation and is very cool and comfortable on the skin. It feels great alone in the fall and spring, as well. I like the reflective logos; maybe it helps a little so cars can see me at dusk. I also take extensive trips into various backcountry environments with this as my primary shirt. It layers well with capilene products. It acts like a cap 2 short sleeve yet is cheaper. After taking on significant moisture, it dries quickly even in humid environments. It piles around backpack harness/belt areas but doesn't really impact the performance or integrity of the garment. The piling doesn't look that bad, but worth mentioning in case you want to wear this all the time. I do not machine dry this shirt. The white color offered with this garment is not really white, but more like an off-white. The fabric does not seem to keep odors after many days of physical activity, either. In my opinion this is a great shirt for an array of physical activities and cheaper than many name brands on the market today. This is all I know; testification complete.
