Sized differently than old Canyon

By kb681968846 Ranked #121 - Women's Casual Shirts- Long-Sleeve July 2, 2010

Have several of the old Canyon models and love them. Ordered this one and it's sized much bigger. I'm 5'10", 150 lbs, and I swim in this 12, though that's what I took in the old version. It seems particularly long in the arms. Also, the Tech Specs pocket descriptions are not accurate - there is no longer one zip and one mesh napoleon. Now there is just a zip napoleon and an itty bitty pocket on the top on the other side which would fit lip balm, driver's license. The mesh panels now go all the way down the sleeve, but NOT all the way down the side, and no mesh flap in back like the old. Instead it has mesh underarms and a bit around the back of the sleeve. Seems to show less bra, but don't know how the cooling properties will compare with old. Many more buttons and they seem kind of "fiddley" and the whole shirt seems much more trimly cut, maybe stylish. The old was a bit boxier and I often wore it jacket-like, which I don't think this will be as good for. The material still seems nice and light. The stone green is very dark, kind of Army/olivey.
