I am a woman that buys men's shirts because I am tall and have long arms and a long torso.  I love these shirts. They are lightweight. I wear them bike riding on summer days and they aren't too hot and they keep the sun off my arms.  Plus the bright safety green makes me more visible.  I could go to a bike shop and pay $50 for something sikmilar - but I would just as soon buy several of these and then wash them all at once.  They hold up very well.
