Oobe Expedition Shirt - Men's - '06 Closeout

Comments about Oobe Expedition Shirt - Men's - '06 Closeout:

I bought this in the Large size, Sage color for my boyfriend, who spends a lot of time in hot climates for work. The color is light, which is better for standing in the sun.

Since the shirt is nylon, I bought it in the size that wouldn't need shrinking (bf is 6' and 220 lbs.). I had no idea the shirt would fit so well. It doesn't billow at the waist like a lot of mainstream, woven shirts. My bf isn't slender by any means (he wants to lose 20 lbs.) but his shoulders and chest are big. A lot of shirts that fit him in the shoulders and chest are way too big in the waist, forcing him to tuck in a lot of excess fabric.

Another nice thing is the drape of the fabric. It's got enough body that it looks somewhat dressy for an outdoor shirt.

The logo is low enough to be hidden when the shirt is tucked in, so that bit of tackiness is optional.

I'd buy him another one, but they're out of the size and color! It's an older Oobe shirt, and I can't find it anywhere else! Aargh.

The shirt's fabric is stitched well and very durable. However, of the 4 shirts I own, I had to send two back. Reason: the buttons kept coming off - even after only one washing.

Wore this on my travel to Hawaii on hikes through wet and dry climates. Where good protection from the sun is a must. Great breathability. Did not feel sweaty even in the afternoon sun. Kept me cool, dry, and protected. Buying another.

Pretty sweet shirt. I bring it backpacking, and it's very breathable and lightweight, but it protects me from the winds on the summit. The water resistance is also cool. Only bad thing is that a string has begun to untangle on the inside.

Though this shirt seems to fit ok, the shoulder area seems a little restrictive. Also, the lightweight construction and breathability allows this shirt to even be worn on those hot afternoons for some extra sun protection.

Great shirt for outdoor living, backpacking esp b/c it is so light. Stylish enough for civilization and it breathes well. Chest pocket is handy, zipper is well made, handsome. Got mine in dark wine color. Had it in Yosemite a couple weeks back, great "do it all" camping shirt. Not sure its worth [$] but on sale is a good buy.

This is a fine shirt for use in warm climates. It is also excellent for travel because of its light weight.

I purchased 3 of these in different colors for personal and business casual travel use, and they are excellent. Shirts fit nice for smaller frames (I am 6'5" and approx 140 lb and slender, it can be hard to find dedicated traveling clothes), and has the features I like - breathability in warmer weather, zip breast pocket, easy hand washing, quick hang drying, wrinkle resistant and lightweight. Durability may be a issue, since I have not had them long enough to judge properly.

Very soft, very comfortable. I usually wear medium, but the small fits me perfectly. Normal length, not too long, but stays tucked in. The construction of the back doesn't allow for free movement though. Otherwise good construction.

Great shirt. Simple and tough as nails. I wore this shirt day and night on an extended trip to the Boundary Waters and it exceeded every expectation. I lost the top button immediately even though I never used it, but no big deal ... I didn't want it anyway. I'd buy more if I could still find it in my size.
