Comments about REI Sahara Long-Sleeve T-Shirt - Men's:

I had this as one of my 4 shirts over 10 weeks of traveling through central america. I wore this more than any other shirt since it does not retain odor and dries exceptionally fast. good fit. Not amazingly stylish or anything, but it'll do. Packs small too.

Comments about REI Sahara Long-Sleeve T-Shirt - Men's:

This is a great basic shirt to wear outdoors. Dries quickly, doesn't wrinkle easily and is very comfortable. Also nice that when you can soak this thing in sweat for a few days on end and then air out and it wont retain an odor, a nice feature for any hunters out there. Don't buy for warmth as its just a basic t shirt. Fits slightly larger, and will stretch a little.

Comments about REI Sahara Long-Sleeve T-Shirt - Men's:

It's a good-looking long-sleeve shirt that you can wear in almost any situation wether it's athletic or casual. It is a little warm so keep that in mind. I've turned it inside-out every time I've washed it but my shirt (a 2009 model?) still got a little pilly which isn't a big deal but since its a nice-looking shirt you might want to wear it on a date.

Comments about REI Sahara Long-Sleeve T-Shirt - Men's:

I wear this shirt to lounge and hang around the house, out and about, and to sleep in. It feels a little too fluffy for hiking and sweating in the sun like it might hold a lot of water compared to another sport shirt, but it does dry fast and doesnt feel wet like cotton. Its way more comfortable than other sport shirts or even cotton or fleece. This shirt is so soft and comfortable and doesnt make you hot and sweat when worn alone or used as a base layer under a fleece or warmer sweater. It seems to hold up better than other soft tee shirts and not get tons of little holes after a few washes, but thats all Ive washed it so far. One thread was hanging after second wash on gentle so I made a knot and it didnt run. I might hand wash from now on. If I had mad cash Id get a lot of these shirts and wear them often instead of tee shirts under my long sleeves all winter. They just seem like they would wear out a little too fast for that. This shirt would be great for car camping or to have in your pack for after hiking, to wear while traveling, or as a base layer in cooler months. Very comfortable.

Comments about REI Sahara Long-Sleeve T-Shirt - Men's:

I bought this shirt for the Presidential Traverse in the New Hampshire White Mountains. I was concerned about the texture of the cloth when researching it but found it astoundingly soft upon actually feeling it. I was also very happy and impressed by the fact that the shirt is made from 50% recycled polyester. The shirt fit perfectly and did a great job with moisture wicking and did not irritate with a 35 lbs pack on. I ended up using it for everything from work in emergency services to working out at the gym and going for runs and often to go out at night.The one thing I must mention as a con is the way it retains odor. The moisture wicking properties are incredible but I think they may be to blame for the odor retention. Its quite disappointing actually because the shirt is so incredible and would be worth the price if I had decided to use it sparingly. I can't exactly donate it to the [...] or the Red Cross either because it is a bit stinky. However, I imagine I will be buying a few more of these but will be trying to avoid using them in day to day life and will be saving them for my outdoor adventures.

Comments about REI Sahara Long-Sleeve T-Shirt - Men's:

In colder weather, with layers, these things are great. In warmer weather, humid or not, frankly I'm more comfortable in cotton. I had a mixture of sahara t-shirts, and some cotton shirts on a recent trip to Africa. After a short time, I discovered I was sweating more in the Sahara shirts, and could not feel the wicking properties that well. I switched to cotton shirts, and kept cooler. In colder weather, it's a different story. Layering these shirts with other clothing works very well.
