I like the fit of this shirt...it's casual but not stuffy. However, the cut/fit of the shirt is undermined by the SQUARE buttons! I never thought much about square buttons, but they make it a bit more cumbersome in buttoning up the shirt. In concept, I'm sure square buttons look great but it fails miserably in execution. Also, I never thought I'd write a negative review because of something this trivial...square buttons.

I really like this jacket. I own a few The North Face jackets and this is a great addition. I've had this jacket for 2yrs...my version does not have the waist cinch or the hook and loop closure cuff adjuster but I actually prefer that. As many have already stated, this jacket is very windproof. I wash this jacket with Nikwax so that I could wear this out in a light rainfall with no hesitation. The style and cut of this jacket is superb...it offers a sleek minimalist look. The only minor downside to this jacket is that it is not warm, but I do not think this is a negative because it makes this jacket more versatile. I did not give it a full 5-star rating because the microfleece interior sticks/clings to whatever shirt I'm wearing underneath, be it cotton, wool, or a technical base. Also, the price is a bit high...I'm glad I got this at the The North Face outlet for less than $100.

I bought two of these, one in short sleeve and one in long sleeve, for a trip to SE Asia last summer (July). It was hot & humid there and both shirts were really comfortable to wear! I especially like the long sleeve version because it was more versatile, allowing me the freedom of long sleeve for a somewhat formal ceremony and the short sleeve for general travel wear. At the time of purchasing these shirts, I tried on TNF travel shirts at a similar price point and was unimpressed with those TNF shirts. The MH fit was better (more athletic cut) whereas TNF shirts seemed "sloppy." All in all, I am extremely happy with these MH shirts and am returning to buy two more!

I'm not sure why there are bad reviews for this product. I have two of these and have been using them for two biking seasons. This is a great alternative to having to wear a full jacket while road biking. Instead, I wear this underneath a jersey and am comfortable for rides down to the upper 50F. The windproof layer is in the chest area, so it helps keep my core cool. The rest of the shirt is breathable so sweat isn't a concern on long rides. After using this, I rarely wear my thicker jackets for warmth. With this, a bike jersey, and a waterproof jacket (in case it rains on 60+ mile rides), I'm good to go!!!
