I do not cook, and I wanted this shirt because I seat a lot and the idea of it and the position of the strategic vents seems like a very good idea to me.  It looks sleek on my "husky" frame and it is therefore slimming.  It cleans up easy and stays in nice shape after repeated washes.  I wish I could afford to buy dozens of them in different colors as designs (if they had them). Highly recommended!
