This classic button-up features a poly-lyocell blend for breathable comfort in warm weather, with a lightweight construction that's easy to stuff in your pack. Two zippered chest pockets offer a stash for small items, and the standard fit makes for effortless layering. Plus, it's quick-drying and treated with a durable water repellent finish, so you'll be more than prepared to bushwhack through wet foliage or wrestle with a fish.

I lied this shirt, good color and material was close to what I wanted. I ended up with the Arc-Teryx Elaho. So close, but I was looking for something a little different.

Bought this for a summer hiking shirt. I wore it this past week on a trip to RMNP, thought this shirt would be great to layer with. Was poorly mistaken, I liked the feel and fit of the shirt as well as the breast pockets. However this shirt did not breath, and I just pooled up sweat all over the shirt. It did dry off quickly once taken off and hung, but took a long time to dry out on my back. In Colorado with the mix of cool wind and hot sun seemed to be the kryptonite for this shirt. I would not recommend using this for a multi day trip, it likes to hold on to smells more than most my other dry fit material.

The material is so soft and comfy. The fit is perfect, neither too loose or tight. It's a perfect shirt to go hiking or fishing in.

Just finished a saltwater kayaking day trip with this. Kept the sun off, super cool when wet, dried out quickly. Pockets super handy for storing phone & wallet. Wore into town following the trip. My new go-to, love this shirt.

Just finished a 25 mile backpacking trip through Capitol Reef National Park at the beginning of June using this shirt. Although the temps were high during the day, the shirt kept me cool and easily wicked the sweat when a breeze came through the canyon. Great shirt!
