Backcountry almost nailed it.

By Ranked #117 - Men's Shirts March 13, 2009

I am 6'0" 185lbs and just received my medium today. It fits perfect in arm length and torso length. I was looking for slim fit, which it is, but not too tight except it hugs my arm pits a bit more than i would prefer; however, it is nothing more than noticeable. I will agree with everybody on the thumbholes. They were a selling point for me, but I'm not quite sure who's thumbs they were designed for. Also, they are misplaced; when you wear the sleeves without a finger in them the opening falls directly above my index finger knuckle. Although the cuff can be spun to push your thumb through, it does create twisting overlaps in the bottom 1/3 of the sleeve. I'm inclined to suggest that maybe the thumb holes are in fact index finger holes due to size and placement. Perhaps none of us are aware of a new trend such as this.
