Buyer Beware - Cut has changed since 2005

By Gijikiki Ranked #26 - Men's Performance Shirts - Short Sleeve June 26, 2006

I have four of these tees from 2005. I bought one of the new ones for 2006 and noticed right away that it didn't fit like my other Highland Tees. It appears Columbia switched the cut on the "Highland Tee" from what they call "Active Fit" to "Authentic Fit". I got the terms from the little tags attached to their shirts Basically, it means that if you have an athletic build and do NOT like a lot of extra fabric around the midsection and the arms, the 2006 version of the Highland Tee is not for you. If you like the sleek, long torso cut of the 2005 version, they are apparently nowhere to be found except on clearance racks, you will need to look elsewhere for an "active fit" tee.
