Packed it on my last trip to Costa Rica...perfect weight on my and in my bag.

Based on measurements I had ordered an extra small and found that it was too tight in the chest. The cap sleeves on the small (the replacement I ordered) are a little too tight. In consideration of your customers who are physically active I think you should make sleeves that take into account the larger muscle mass of shoulders and upper arms. Thanks you.

I first bought the white shirt and then found I liked it so much I purchased two more colors. You can dress this shirt up or wear it casually. It washes nicely, does not fade and never needs ironing . . even after being folded. I feel this shirt runs a bit small. Normally, I take a medium, sometimes small shirt and I could never wear the small size.

I bought this in white last year for a trip to Africa. It was perfect. Except for the one pocket zipper that broke (I just sewed it shut), I think it is perfect. Still looks and feels great. So I was thrilled to buy a new one (on sale) in a bright new color this fall!

This is one of my favorite shirts. I bought one in the [...] store and loved it so much that I had to go online and buy it in more colors. The best thing is that you can wear it hiking and it is great for layering. It is fitted toward the waistline so that is something to consider. But the tailord look is what gives this shirt style. It also has great technical features which make this shirt truly unique and a great buy!

I wore this on a backpacking trip to Europe this summer. It was awesome. breathable and wicks awesome. I wanted to wear it every day but I only ha one! I'm going to order a few more. It seemed to shrink a little in length and across the chest so make sure to order your size or one up. (don't go down) I have a long torso and it was definitely long enough. The best shirt I've bought in a long time. I'm a teacher and I'm going to wear these to school!

I wear it for class and for a day of walking 20 miles. It works great for both!

Have this in several colors to wear by themselves or to layer. Comfortable, wrinkle-free fabric & bright colors always look great with shorts, pants or a skirt -- even in the most humid conditions. Great basic travel item due to its versatility and easy care. The fit's a little snug, so it may pay to go up a size. Also, the fabric is not as cool as cotton. For tropical climates, I wear it open over a tank or bathing suit.

Loved the color, fabric and feel. I had to return the first I ordered in my normal size and order a size larger and even it is a little snug.
If you are a large to start with don't bother.

I had this shirt last season and wore it constantly. I ended up purchasing this same shirt in two colors. I would love to see this shirt in many other assorted colors as I would purchase all of them. It never needs ironing, washes and dries easy and fast. The shirts always look new. I was thrilled with this purchase and the price can't be beat.

I just took this shirt with me to Cancun. It kept me cool and dry while on the beach, hiking in the jungle, and touring archaeological sites. My only - and slight - complaint is that the sleeve length is too short for my liking. However, this is a matter of personal preference; I still plan to take the shirt on a 4 month backpacking trip this summer and will probably wear it quite often.

I purchased this terrific shirt in Ice Blue as a gift for my son's significant other. They both travel, backpack, hike, and camp extensively. Their technical gear (especially their clothing) is limited by their budget; so, when I discovered this shirt [...] I seized it as an opportunity to introduce them to attractive AND functional technical clothing despite being on a skin-tight budget. As a quick aside, their technical clothing was previously limited to baselayers, outerwear, and accessories (i.e., hats, gloves, scarves).When I showed my son this shirt [...] he couldn't fully appreciate it without seeing it modeled first-hand. When his girlfriend saw it in its protective plastic sleeve, she was clearly unimpressed and didn't even bother to remove it. However, once she tried it on ~ their excitement piqued exponentially! In their minds, comfortable functional tops for backpacking, camping, and hiking are all-encompassed by t-shirts.I pointed out to them the benefits of this shirt: its synthetic fabric wicks away perspiration and dries quickly; the waffle-weave (akin to seersucker) prevents the fabric from laying flat directly against the skin which aids in keeping one cooler ~ especially in hot, humid climate; french seam construction throughout prevents skin chafing; its contoured seam design allows greater motion while giving this shirt a tailored appearance; mesh insert allows cooling; hidden nylon zippers are lightweight and flex with movement while containing pocket contents; no worry about losing buttons or stretched buttonholes with snap closures; and, its capped sleeve design doesn't bind arm movement.Needless to say, they both totally dig this shirt [...] Its design is brilliant and well considered, and its quality construction is second to none. [...] I don't know how long the Santiago shirt has been around, although I am surprised there aren't more raving reviews. In a word, this shirt is AWESOME!!!

You can look like s woman and enjoy the outdoors! The shirt offers the benifit of a technical shirt (fellow hikers could not tell that I was sweating on a hot, humid day) and you can look cute too.
