Comments about ExOfficio Air Strip Lite Long-Sleeve Shirt - Men's:
I own 7 of these shirts. I also own similar shirts made by REI, North Face & Columbia etc. I like this style of shirt. The Ex Officio Air Strip Lite beats all others hands down. They are the lightest, most comfortable shirts I own. I have worn them on 5 continents, for work and play. My work days - outdoors - often last 20 hours or more in high humidity. In an this shirt I am comfortable all day, even when sweating like a horse. The don't develop odor, wick stupendously, and dry in a flash. Easy to wash in a hand basin, and just hang them up to dry and they look great.
I tried the other brands because they were cheaper - now I use them for gardening & any work that might ruin them. Once I tried this shirt I was hooked. I have regularly been wearing some for over 4 years and they look almost new! The fabric seems indestructible.
I keep my eye out for sales, as these are pricey shirts. However, make no mistake, they are worth every penny. They are simply the best shirt I have ever owned - by far.
I don't write reviews as a habit. and am in no way connected to this manufacturer or to REI (apart from being a member.)

Comments about ExOfficio Air Strip Lite Long-Sleeve Shirt - Men's:
I purchased this shirt for travel in Europe and Russia where I wanted to travel light and wash my clothes out as needed. The aspect of this shirt that I like best is that it has a hidden breast pocket for my passport. It also dries quickly. But, that is not enough to compensate for the design flaws in this shirt. The fabric doesn't breathe and even with all the vents, it is hot to wear even in cool weather. Worse is that the fabric really retains odor. This is a bad combination of qualities! I am ditching this in favor of a cotton shirt with treated fabric, for 1/3 the cost.

Comments about ExOfficio Air Strip Lite Long-Sleeve Shirt - Men's:
I have always been sensitive to heat and sun and my lifestyle keeps me outdoors often. This year I was part of an event in the Palm Springs desert during July. I needed clothing that would protect me for long hours in 115 degree heat. I purchased the garment and wore it during the event in the desert. Nothing would have prepared me for the surprise that a long sleave white shirt could be incredibly cooler than anything else I own. I spent 12 hours in 110+ degree heat and I didn't burn or become heat exhausted. The material breathed like it was made of mesh. Naturally I was sweating but the shirt pulled the sweat off my body and allowed me to stay relitively dry. The color reflected most of the suns rays and I finished the day with enough energy to enjoy the night life in Ranco Mirage. I was looking for hot weather clothing all over and I was unhappy with what was out there untill I found this shirt. This garment satisfied all my needs perfectly.

Comments about ExOfficio Air Strip Lite Long-Sleeve Shirt - Men's:
I wore this shirt every other day on a 3 month around the world trip (Asia and part of the Middle East) during the last quarter of 2008. I washed easily, dried overnight in all but the most humid (raining) conditions. It ended the trip in excellent shape. I'm buying another one for the next trip. Try to get it on sale. It worked well in both hot (India) and cool (Nepal) weather as a second layer.

Comments about ExOfficio Air Strip Lite Long-Sleeve Shirt - Men's:
I am an attorney and make my living as an itinerant speaker. I travel all over the country giving seminars. The biggest problem I encounter is luggage. I'm a huge fan of [@]onebag[@] and traveling light. I first encountered Ex Officio products at the SeaTac airport. I was taken by the product but deterred by the price.I'm an REI member and it put this shirt on sale. I bought two shirts.Verdict: This shirt is truly amazing. It is comfortable and stylish. It breathes. On a recent trip, I wore it 14 days in a row. I washed it in the hotel sink and it dried in 4 hours. I put it on. No ironing. It looks great.I would unhesitatingly recommend this shirt to anyone who travels and can get away with casual dress. An absolutely wonderful product to those of us in the less-is-more community.

Comments about ExOfficio Air Strip Lite Long-Sleeve Shirt - Men's:
I have the same complaint about synthetic shirts every time: the smell. Even if it wasn't a sweaty outing, there is just an unnatural odor to these types of clothes. BUT ExOfficio seems to have found its way around that problem. Now maybe they can share their secret with all the other companies and the unnatural odor problem will vanish altogether!

Comments about ExOfficio Air Strip Lite Long-Sleeve Shirt - Men's:
I live and work in Saudi Arabia. Our summers can reach more than 130 F in the desert or higher with the UV Index. This shirt provides comfort and keeps you cool. It dries fast when you go back in doors. In the evenings, roll down the sleeves for a cool night.

Comments about ExOfficio Air Strip Lite Long-Sleeve Shirt - Men's:
Very expensive, but worth every penny. I got one of these a couple of years back to go hiking thru Yosemite. It is so light and breathable, that even though the days were in the 80s-90's, I wore it in the long sleeve fashion (not rolled-up) on two days of 6+ hour strenuous --- I opted for the long sleeves instead of putting on a combination of suntan lotion and bug-spray. I have used the shirt many times since. It is something that is so light and wrinkle-proof, that it is perfect to throw in a daypack for the beach or whatever. This is a shirt you'll have for life.

Comments about ExOfficio Air Strip Lite Long-Sleeve Shirt - Men's:
A great shirt for warm and hot weather espically if the sun goes down and it cools off too much, you can drop the sleeves and be warm. You can also drop the sleeves to ward off insects to your otherwise exposed arms. Drys very fast if gets wet.
