Comments about REI OXT Tech Tee - Women's:

PROS:
- This tee is awesome because it is moisture-wicking (nice cooling effect when wind hits it) and allows free movement.
- I like that it isn't so tight and is a little loose, unlike most women's workout shirts nowadays, which are tight, uncomfortable, and perhaps designed more for impressing guys at the gym than for the woman's comfort.

CONS:
- After wearing this tee on an all-day hike, I left it in a bag and forgot about it until a week later (gross, I know), discovering that mold was growing on the shirt! I've left sweaty regular cotton t-shirts in a closed bag before, but they've never had mold growing on them. Detergent didn't seem to help, and you're not supposed to use bleach. But I like the shirt so much, I may continue to wear it anyway, mold and all.
- Also, I think the color choices could have been better. I have the shirt in "blue opal," which is a very pale blue. It's an OK color and it's not see-through. It seems that all workout shirts are either white/light blue or very LOUD and garish.

Bottom line: Great shirt, but make sure you either wash it immediately after wearing or allow it to dry before storing (i.e. if backpacking).

Comments about REI OXT Tech Tee - Women's:

This is a great shirt for everything especially adventure travel! Mine has been to Kilimanjaro, Nepal & Paris. It can be worn for multiple days trekking with little to no odor and dries quickly after hand washing. And I would LOVE to buy more but NONE of the current colors suit me. Many women simply don’t like/don’t look good in “cool” colors (white, pinks & pastel blues, purples etc) or black. Those of us with warm “spring/autumn” skin/hair coloring want/need warm colors; red (not cranberry), gold/tan/amber, teal blues/greens etc (current choices are suited for those with cool “summer/winter” skin/hair coloring). So a better variety of color choices (especially photographically good colors -my red one looks GREAT in our travel photos) would make this great shirt even better for more of us!

Comments about REI OXT Tech Tee - Women's:

Pros- If you're a shorter athlete w/a larger build or longer torso than most women, then this shirt is for you! All of my other wicking T's are tight and way too short. This shirt seems to grip in all the right places to prevent chaffing, but still feels loose enough that I'm comfortable and confident while wearing it. Even on those hot, muggy days, it still feels nice and lightweight on your body. No cons on this shirt from me.

I think the neck is flattering. Almost every time I wear it I get compliments. Liked the first one I bought so much I bought a second one. Hope there will be new colors to choose from in the future.

Comments about REI OXT Tech Tee - Women's:

This is a great workout tee, but I wish it came in X-Small. The fit is boxy like other reviews said, but there's nothing wrong with that, it was just too big overall for me. I think REI should offer more X-Small sizes, especially if their clothes run large in general. The Fleet tee has a more fitted shape, so that worked better for me.

Comments about REI OXT Tech Tee - Women's:

the shocking pink and reflection colors are so similar that differences are negligible and don't justify purchasing both. The other blue colors (opal, clear sky) are noticeably different from each other. I was disappointed and will return one of the pinks. I love this shirt - it's so versatile and useful - but don't need two nearly identical colors.

Comments about REI OXT Tech Tee - Women's:

wicking, lightweight (perfect for travel abroad!), fits broad shoulders, high neck is modest (good for foreign countries). Great for running, workouts, and casual wear. I own two and am ordering three more, and also own one long-sleeved. Great price- less than half of what I pay for other ss running t's and these don't snag easily! I hope REI offers more colors.

Service and delivery comments:

fast delivery, two days earlier than promised!

Comments about REI OXT Tech Tee - Women's:

Dear REI,
Doesn't it make sense that women who buy your clothes are probably very active as well as physically fit and therefore do not require tops that are the size of tents to work out in? And what happened to the XSmall? America in general is getting fatter, but your customers aren't. Please offer your OXT brand in smaller sizes.
