      I own a Landscape Nursery; have fair skin, am in my late 50's and I'm outside 7 days a week so I need comfort and protection from the sun. I have about 5 REI Sahara Tech Long-Sleeve Tall Shirts in a variety of colors. I love them and can highly recommend this shirt.

        Comments about REI Sahara Tech Long-Sleeve Shirt - Men's Tall:

        The shirt is durable in thick brush with greenbriar and is holding up well, and it is certainly cool in hot weather, but the shoulders are a bit narrow. I have broad shoulders and long arms, so I usually buy tall shirts. The shirt fits well in the torso, but it pulls taut across the shoulders when reaching.

        Comments about REI Sahara Tech Long-Sleeve Shirt - Men's Tall:

        The shirt fits well through the body but it is too small across the back of my shoulders. I cannot extend my arms without feeling like I am going to rip the shirt. Also, the sleaves are too short. If you ar a true 36/37" sleeve then this shirt is not for you.

          Comments about REI Sahara Tech Long-Sleeve Shirt - Men's Tall:

          I always buy REI branded products when I can for their value and excellent design. This shirt is a rare miss. Though the shirt is good-looking and comfortable, the tiny velcro fasteners on the pockets, combined with the lack of a decent flap, were wholly inadequate to keep the pocket contents secure. Result: pocket knife, compass and other important stuff were constantly falling out or in danger of doing so. I returned the shirt and bought one directly from Columbia instead as REI's current in-store selection doesn't seem to put a high premium on secure pockets.

            Comments about REI Sahara Tech Long-Sleeve Shirt - Men's Tall:

            I took this shirt on a 3 month bike tour and like it a lot. It's very lightweight, packs small, and dries quickly. For a "tall" it could actually be a bit taller, but it's reasonable and I always wear the sleeves rolled up part way anyways. It's good for warm environments, don't expect it to be any help when it's cold. It also will catch the wind a lot so if like me you buy shirts that are a bit on the big size you might feel like you're wearing a parachute in a strong wind.

              Comments about REI Sahara Tech Long-Sleeve Shirt - Men's Tall:

              Reading other comments about being too tight in the shoulders I opted for a large the first time. I should have ordered my normal size. I am 6'-2", 175 lbs and have 46" shoulders and the medium tall fits perfect. The large had a little more room in the shoulders but, like all large shirts, fit me like a tent around the torso. I do wish manufactures would taper the waist for us tall guys and I always go for the sport cut when offered but REI sizes are true.

              Too tight.

                Comments about REI Sahara Tech Long-Sleeve Shirt - Men's Tall:

                I am 5'10" tall and weight 170lbs. I always buy Medium Tall so thought I would have no problems with this shirt, but that was not the case.

                After putting it on I tried lifting my arms over my head and everything went tight in the back around the shoulder area, plus you cannot get your arms through the sleeves when they are rolled up.

                I am guessing that if you only weighted 160lbs or maybe even less, this shirt might work for you. You would have to have very skinny arms and narrow shoulders.

                If your at a loss of what to buy now, try out ExOfficio's Air Strip Lite in Medium Tall which has a very nice fit and a quality build. Only 2 colours though.

                To make this Sahara Tech shirt better REI needs to copy ExOfficio on the fit, add a zippered "secret pocket" for carrying a passport, and make sure there aren't loose threads in the button holes to snag the buttons.

                    I just received this in the mail, and am going to have to return it. The fit allows no movement without pulling everything tight around the back, shoulders and arms. I am 5' 10" 170lbs and have always fit Medium Tall. If you weight 160 lbs this shirt might work for you, if not, I would recommend a large. When first putting it on a couple of buttons got stuck on loose threads on the button holes. Also, the button holes are extremely tight but may loosen up. Also, one has to undo the buttons to get their hands through the sleeves and you can forget about rolling up the sleeves unless you have super skinny arms.

                      I purchased this shirt for mountaineerig and long (50+) mile backpacking trips. It has exceeded my expectations in every way. It is so comfortable and wrinkles just disappear after 1/2 hour I now use it for all my casual events such as day at the ball park, kicking around town, etc. Buy it, you will like it.

                        I'm a tall athletic guy but have a hard time getting long sleeve shirts that have long enough sleeves. There is nothing worse than shirts that end at the middle of your forearm! I like this shirt a lot, and as others have noted--the sleeves could be a bit longer. Still, this is the best I have found and I am grateful to REI for the long/tall clothes they make!
