Very good at half price

By NL Ranked #1013 - Men's Shirts January 4, 2010

This shirt has snap buttons, not the regular button through a slit type fastening. Same for the hands. The buttons feel strong and not flimsy. After wearing it for a week, they don't show any sign of breaking in. I like the slightly stretchy material and is light weight and very breathable. The material is also slightly water resistant. I splashed some water on my face and drops that hit the shirt, rolled off with absorbing. It isn't water proof but has some water resistance.

The price is ridiculous. Luckily I picked this one up for a third of the cost from SaC. For a light-weight travel shirt with more features, the ex-officio line does a better job and Arc'teryx is more formal. I don't think the Envoy shirt is meant for hiking/backpacking. For heavy outdoor use, I would recommend ex-officio, which is what I use and they are lighter than this shirt for much less $$$.

I found the sleeves to be slightly longer than most shirts and the size of the wrists are much bigger. The wide radius sleeve slides well with my fat watch on the wrist.

The zipped break pocket is a touch and is good to keep any item in there safely without worrying if the item will fall out.
