I love this shirt. Yes there is not much play in the collar but I do not find it restrictive in the least. I bought the shirt with the single purpose of covering my stomach when lifting weights, particularly movements like the dumbbell pullover. I have bought 2XL and XXL sized in the past and the shirts still rode up and exposed my tummy. This shirt is about as long as a basketball jersey. I love the fabric. No matter how much I perspire, the moisture is always wicked away, keeping me dry and comfortable. The shirt is well put together. The seams are finished and not likely to tear apart. I will be wearing this shirt for a long time. I would recommend this shirt to anyone tall, with a long torso or big belly.
