Comments about REI Sahara Shirt - Women's Plus Sizes:
I used to love the REI Sahara shirt until someone decided it was a good idea to move the hidden pocket from waist-high to upper chest! Now it is no longer a "hidden" pocket at all -- it used to be perfect for my cell phone, but I sure don't need a rectangular lump right over my breast.

Comments about REI Sahara Shirt - Women's Plus Sizes:
I thought this would be a good shirt for the hot Texas summer. I ordered the white shirt since I do not like plaid. The shirt fit small and the material was so thin that the shirt was semi-sheer. The secret pocket on the white shirt was not so secret since the material was thin. I would order this shirt if it came in solid colors and if the white shirt was not as thin. Unfortunately, I returned my purchase and hope that they will improve these in the future.

Comments about REI Sahara Shirt - Women's Plus Sizes:
This is a great shirt for all kinds of different uses. I wear it to work and just for hiking or taking walks with the dogs. Kudos to REI for having Plus Sizes! Larger women like to be active too!

Comments about REI Sahara Shirt - Women's Plus Sizes:
I bought two of these shirts, one white and one in the coppery color to wear on a desert trip. In the past, I have found that REI plus sizes run quite small, so I ordered a 3X (when I wear a 1X). The 3X white shirt fit and was even a little large, but the 3X coppery one was so small that it wouldn't even button. I was very disappointed. I really can't recommend the shirt, unless you could try it on in the store.

Comments about REI Sahara Shirt - Women's Plus Sizes:
These shirts are terrific for travel. I have several of these and the shirts that I got a couple of years ago are longer than the current model. I really really loved the longer ones, these are a bit short for plus sized ladies. I hope that they will re-design next year.

Comments about REI Sahara Shirt - Women's Plus Sizes:
I LOVE this shirt. It's so light weight and perfect for Phoenix summers. It also dries super fast which is great because I've been wearing this at least 2x a week. It's nice enough to wear to the office.
At first I bought the Frozen Creek color and although on my computer screen it looks blue, as soon as I pulled it out of the package I said "oh this is green". I also ordered one size up because I've found most clothes from REI run on the small side but in this case it was a mistake. So I exchanged it for the proper size and in the Burnt Rose color which is as pictured and very pretty. Wish this came in a dozen more colors :-)

Comments about REI Sahara Shirt - Women's Plus Sizes:
Oh yeh! I remember when I started backpacking and canoeing, there was only men's gear, there weren't women's backpacking boots, jackets, etc. Now I have cool, comfortable gear like my husband, only it's tailored for my midlife ample curves. I can hardly get over the fact that there is plus sized gear out there now. And it looks good. I went hiking today and I'm off to India with my new quick dry shirt! Thank you for clothes that fit!
