I got the aqua, and i can only imagine that the orange and pink are equally 80s neon shades. The ability to wear it multiple times without washing is great for hiking - but when wet it becomes even brighter turquoise, so your sweat patches will be rather blinding. The material is very stretchy, so it can nicely accomodate a larger bust without being too baggy around the waist. Despite the fact that the bust/waist ratio is designed for a woman, it is still long enough in the torso to be able to raise my arms without putting my belly on display (a rare combination).
I would love a similar comfortable, quick drying, no-stink shirt for more general travel purposes, but personally I would not wear this combination of color and style for anything except workouts or hiking. With slight modifications in color (at least slightly more subdued!) and style (like a more feminine sleeve and neckline) this shirt would be much more versatile for other types of casual travel without sacrificing its athletic function.
