Cool, roomy, soft

This is a lovely roomy top for hot weather. If you like slim fit, this is not for you. It is quite long and flow-y. Incredibly soft comfortable. I got the light blue stripes, so it looks vaguely like a prison shirt, or mattress ticking, but in a good way. Sleeves are extra long but this didn't bother me, I just loved how it covered me up and hung so softly. I wish there were more colors. No need for a bra because the strategically placed pockets.

Nice. LONG sleeve. Pics right, description wrong.

5 years ago

This is a really nice shirt. Neck is both comfortable and flattering (no top button, slight spread, but not too low). Fabric feels great. I haven't put it to a real heat test yet, but I'm looking forward to it. Slightly puckered, but not an extreme seersucker; visually, it's not that obvious. Lightweight.

Liked it so much I bought another

4 years ago

This is definitely my most worn shirt! I splurged a little on a patagonia shirt, which is normally out of my budget. I live in the south, and this shirt has saved me from sunburn and heatstroke so many times! It looks nice enough tucked in that I can wear it to work, it's light enough for me to wear as sun cover outside without getting too hot, and cute enough that I can wear it out! PERFECT for wearing over a swimsuit, and dries super quickly. The buttons make it pretty low cut on me—I have a flat enough chest that no one really notices, but it might be an issue if you're larger chested. It also runs pretty small, as most patagonia stuff does; I'm 5'3, 125 pounds, and I normally wear a small in shirts, but the large fits me perfectly.

My wife's best birthday present in many years.

These shirts were so beautiful, lightweight and stylish I purchased 3 different colors and gave her one a day during birthday week. Each day she was more thrilled than the day before. She loves them. Thanks REI!

Just So-So

4 years ago

I wanted to love this shirt. When I tried it on at home it seemed cheaply made (e.g., the shoulder seams were unfinished, just overcast), and sort of shapeless. I never mind paying more for Patagonia products, I love the brand and they are usually so well-made. It just seems like a lot to pay for a shirt that was just so-so. Beautiful color though! Nice and lightweight for summer.

Great for hiking in the heat!

2 years ago

This is my third Paatagonia A/C shirt! I use them mainly for hiking/backpacking in the desert, but I love that it can also work as a casual shirt. One star docked because the buttons don't go up high enough for coverage in the sunburn prone neck area! I took my shirts to a local seamstress and had buttons added, but I really wish Patagonia would have buttons all the way up!

Cool, comfortable cotton

4 years ago

So happy to find these well made cotton ( and a little hemp) shirts, which I find much cooler than the synthetic ones. Can be almost dressy, and most useful as a shirt jacket over a tee shirt, layering to keep the sun off.
