Great for beating the heat

By AJ_in_CA Ranked #201 - Men's Button-Down Short-Sleeve Shirts July 13, 2009

Although this shirt has a few too many gimmicks thrown in, it performs all the basics flawlessly. Just to say it at the beginning, the zip up vents and pop up collar aren't the most useful features I've seen in a shirt, but MH made sure that they at least don't get in the way. The shirt is baggy enough that the vents aren't too noticeable when zipped closed and do provide a slight bit more venting when open. Overall though the shirt does such a good job wicking that the vents really aren't necessary. The shirt is really amazing in keeping you dry and looking clean. Too many wicking shirts dry you off but still manage to leave you looking wet and sweaty anyway. Not this shirt. Even in 120*F heat, this shirt always looked dry and clean and kept me feeling the same way inside. The lower seams do not rub when carrying a heavy packpack which adds to the overall comfort of this shirt. The material is super soft and comfy. It packs down easily and drys quickly. Great for backpacking or traveling light. I only wish they made this shirt without the venting to reduce the bulk. Overall though I would definitely buy again.
