Inconveniently Attractive

So, OpinionatedGeek says he's 5'9" and 165 with a 42" chest and the shirt is too big in the chest. That seems weird to me, because I'm 5'9" and 150 lbs with a mere 38" chest (practically a wisp of a man) and the medium fits me perfectly. It's on the skin in the chest, but not tight, the sleeves go down about 3/4 of the way to my elbow like OG said, and the hem is low enough that it doesn't ride up when biking (bent over) or climbing (arms up).

Fit aside, this is my new favorite shirt. It wicks like you would not believe, even if you were predisposed to credulity in the realm of fabric properties. I ride three miles to school and back every day, and had resigned myself to the idea that my lower back would be sweaty afterwards. No shirt will keep save me from moistness, I grieved, but then! STAND BACK, said the Breathe 90, I GOT THIS. The design on the front, though nearly irrelevant, is really awesome-looking if you like things that look awesome, and it would be equally at home on the crag or at the (obviously) trendy microbrewery you frequent. Also it's light enough that you'd forget you were wearing it if it weren't for people seeing how cool you look and trying to make out with you all the time. They're like COME HERE YOUR SHIRT IS IRRESISTIBLE and you're like PLEASE TAKE YOUR FACE OFF OF MY FACE, I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT.

And let's be honest, that's not really a downside. The only thing I can think of is that 50 bucks is a bit steep for a shirt, but that's what Steep and Cheap is for. Or a steady paycheck.
