When I ordered this item my initial use was to use it to go hunting and camping because I thought the material was a little softer like an ordinary shirt, but when I received it I got something totally different, the material is rough and thick and almost heavy on wearing which is fine by me because it could also be used as a coat my only problem with this item and the reason i didn't rate it a 5 was because even though I'm at 6'3 190 pounds and this item sized at medium it is still a little to big! So choose your sizes carefully.
