Mountain Hardwear  Transit Shirt - Women's

This shirt is one of the most useful in my wardrobe. I bought it for travel, and it is superbly flexible. I have worn it under a blazer, over a swim suit, with jeans and skirts, as a blouse tied at the waist over a dress, with a scarf, with jewelry, to cover up my arms and shoulders for cultural reasons, and more! I live at the beach, so I keep this handy for sea breezes and sun. The shirt washes well in the sink, dries fast, and resists wrinkles. I like the shirt for everyday, travel, hiking, bicycling, and would consider it for backpacking. I am 5'8", so the long sleeves are perfect. My chest is 36", so I usually wear small or medium. The size 8 fits me well. The classic cut and fabric texture make it classy enough for many situations. The fabric is a bit sheer, but a neutral bra color and the classic cut make that OK. I have nice range of motion, no button gap, and the fit is roomy enough to layer over tops. I also like the loose fit for air circulation..

While these are well made and have some nice features, they are VERY lightweight. So much so, that they are see-through. I could easily see my bra through the material. Perhaps there are people who like that, not my style.

Attractive shirt, but the sleeves are way too long, monkey-long, in fact. Had to get the shirt tailored--since these are cuffs you can't roll up--thereby adding $15 or so to the price of the shirt for me.
