This shirt is my all time favorite synthetic shirt. I use it for hiking, everyday wear, river trips, travel, you name it. By now, I have it in both the white and the fossil (for dirtier times on the trail or river) in long sleeve, and in the short sleeve and sleeveless in white. The white is still bright after many washings, and it really sets off the slight tan I can pick up (through sunscreen). These shirts have had a lot less piling than any of my other synthetic shirts, and I wear these a lot! And Amazon often has a good - i.e., sale - price on some colors and sizes.

There is just something about the arced seam across the upper chest and back that is very flattering. I'm not sure you can see this in the photos, but somehow it makes my shoulders look better, and everything below look slimmer.

It's a semi-fitted shirt, not all blousey like some of my outdoors shirts, and true to size. It ventilates extremely well, with areas of more open fabric where you need them. I generally can take a S or M in this sort of shirt, and either one fits me in this one. I generally like the M best because it gives me a little more room to move when I'm active, but I do have one small in white that I keep nice to go out in. Yes, it is that good looking that I reach for it on casual nights out when my activity level is not that key.

Note that at this point, this shirt would have a uniform 5 star rating if someone had not given it low marks because it got lost in the mail getting to her. That's not a fair basis to rate the shirt on, and I bet she found it in the end, but still her low review pulls this shirt's score down. Not right! This is a true 5 star product!
