Comments about REI OXT Fleet T-Shirt - Women's Plus Sizes:
I'll start by saying that this is now the THIRD rendition I've purchased of this popular shirt. I LOVED the original one.. floated on your body; fit loosely but didn't look baggy. The next rendition (The Tube) I hated. It was created for an earthworm... not a woman with breasts and curves! This rendition comes a very close second to my favorite version. The v-neck is more pronounced, but still keeps things covered and I love the shorter version of the sleeves. I bought it in a rich purple color a year or so ago. I was so delighted to see prints in the Plus Size arena as we're often passed over and settle for basic colors. I purchased both prints about a week ago in 3X since I like my shirts a bit looser. The red bud print fit perfectly, just like my previously purchased purple one. The same size of the dragonfly print was tight. Not just like one size difference, but maybe two. I looked at the attached tag and it said it was the correct size. I assumed it was just mistagged, but the tag printed on the shirt itself also stated it was a 3X. This is very disappointing and I will need to return the dragonfly print. I will consider reordering to see if I can actually get the right size. I have noticed a reduction in quality control with REI products over the last few years which is disappointing as I am a dedicated and regular customer. Please REI... take a look at this issue. I gave this product 3 stars because of the size issue. If based solely on the correct shirt I'd give this 5 stars.

I've bought this shirt in the solid color and came back for the print. I usually get 1X (14/16) in shirts, but found that I needed to size up to 2X to avoid showing any muffin top. I am also quite busty (42DDD), so the larger size provided adequate room for the girls as well. Once I got the right size, I found the fit was very flattering from every angle. This top is lightweight and easy to wear when sweating a lot during workouts. Overall, highly recommended!

Have many of these shirts from previous years and loved them. Was excited to see some patterns and different colors available so ordered some more (one size up, as previously ordered). The fit of this year's shirt is horrible. The V-neck is too big and open, the sleeves too short, the shoulders narrow, and the seams make it hang funny. Will be returning sadly and wishing I had ordered more in previous years.

Comments about REI OXT Fleet T-Shirt - Women's Plus Sizes:
I typically wear an XL to 1X and have a few other similar REI shirts in size XL in my closet. I thought I would try a larger size since this fabric can by very clingy and show your bra. I decided to order a 2X to have some extra room. Well, the 2X doesn't fit any differently than my old XL shirts. I am very disappointed about this. I hike nearly every weekend and it is so hard to find something that is pretty colors yet comes in a roomier size for those of us that are bigger sizes. My size for normal clothes is XL/size 16, so I don't understand why a 2X would be so snug. Very poor sizing.

If you're a skinny chick you will be okay with the sizing. I wear a 16 and I like some movement in my tops especially for hiking with a pack. I usually wear an XL (1XL) after reading the other reviews I took the advice and ordered up 1. Of course I hate looking at that 2XL tag, but it is worth it. Women of my size rarely can even find cute outdoor clothing but finally the manufacturers have realized not all women are bean poles and we're okay with it. As far as wear & tear, I am pretty rough on my outdoor clothes so I figure if I get a year of regular use with the kind of poor quality clothing you now find even in expensive department stores I'm doing good for [$].

I got this shirt to wear for my Zumba class and I love it! I went a size up and glad I did, it's long enough for all the overhead arm movements. Loved it so much I now have the pink and blue.

This shirt is loose, some could say runs a bit large, but that's okay with me. Roomy and comfortble for my Spinning class! Long enough, light enough and wicks away moisture. I also like the pattern of the Blue & Green Dragonfly design. I bought the regular, not the plus size in XL.
