Sizing Notes
Measurements are stated in inches unless otherwise indicated. Size chart values represent body measurements, not garment measurements.
SHORT: Some pants are available in short sizes, which generally means an inseam that is 2.5 inches shorter than regular sizes.
TALL: Some pants, shirts, jackets and parkas are available in tall sizes, which generally means an inseam that is 3 inches longer and a rise that is 1 inch longer, a shirt or jacket body that is 2 inches longer, a parka body that is 2.5 inches longer and sleeves that are 2.5 inches longer than regular sizes.
Capri or cropped pants have an intentionally shorter inseam—reference the technical specs instead of this chart.
Inseam is measured to the floor.

Poor quality stitching around shoulders
The new Saraha T-shirts have extremely poor quality stitching around shoulders. How could REI's quality control department miss this flaw? Please bring back the original Sahara T-Shirt.
New Sahara Tee
Will we see a new Sahara tee design soon or the product being phased out?
Very soft, but oversized
Love the feel of the shirt, but it hung off me (I'm a 42 chest) and it was pretty oversized and I plan on exchanging for medium
Comfy
These are very comfortable shirts. Very roomy and light weith. Not restricting at all. Soft too.
Great for casual wear/dayhiking
I purchased this shirt because the Screeline Crew Shirt wasn't available. I bought it for a backpacking shirt and compared to the Screeline Crew, I thought this shirt was sub-par. It didn't wick moisture as well, and it didn't fit as well. Having said that, it is not a bad shirt by any means. I use mine more for casual wear and love it for that purpose. It's very comfortable and soft.
Fits really well and looks great
The REI Co-op Men's Sahara T-shirt fits really well, is very comfortable and has an SPF 50 rating. I liked it so much I bought 2 more.
Great base layer!
I bought my 1st one almost a year ago and now have 5. Great first layer for active outdoor activities. primary 1st layer soft, smooth and wicking.
New favorite hiking shirt
This shirt is the perfect mix of breath-ability, fabric weight, and sizing. Stood up to odors with heavy use over 4 days in Yosemite.
