Typically petite sizes fit women 4'11" to 5'3". Regular sizes fit women 5'4" to 5'8". Tall sizes fit women 5'9" to 5'11".

PETITE: Generally, as compared to regular sizes, petite sizes are 2.5 inches shorter in inseam, 1 inch shorter in body length, 1.25 inches shorter in sleeve length and ¾ inch shorter in total rise.

multi-purpose comfort
The weight of the fabric is perfect for hiking in hot weather and is also great for light weight travel. Aside from the armholes being a little too large, I really like the relax fit around the torso. Got this in the patterned purple color and wish there were more color options as I would like to purchase more. I have used this a couple of times with slacks to go from work to after work social gatherings.

Designed for shorter girls
I love the feel of this tank top. The arm holes are a little large, and I would have ordered a smaller size, but this top is short and a shorter size would be too short.

Super comfortable

This tank is awesome! I like the looser fit and wide shoulder straps. It breathes well and is super soft and comfortable. It works better with a day pack--I tried to wear it with my backpacking backpack and had to adjust it a little to prevent rubbing. I'd definitely buy it again!

Stink free (almost) for 12 days backpacking

I am SO impressed with this shirt. I brought only one short sleeve shirt on a recent backpacking trip to NM. The first week of the trip we experienced consistent temperatures above 90. I rinsed it out most days with water only and it was the least stinky piece of clothing. Would highly recommend.

Great shirt

This shirt is great. I have been using it as an undershirt under my bike jersey. It is not too hot or cold. Perfect to protect my core. Bought an x-large because i like loose shirts and it is not way oversized. Highly recommend.

Lightweight, soft and comfortable

Wore this for the first time on a short hike in the desert. Love the lightweight, moisture wicking, soft fabric. Being longer in the back kept it from riding up under the backpack, which happens often with other shirts. I probably should have ordered a smaller size but for hiking it is perfect.

So simple yet so good

This is just a simple little tank top but it’s probably the softest “tee shirt” material I’ve ever worn, the fit actually accommodates my hips instead of stretching over them, and i love the looser/relaxed fit without looking baggy. So comfortable!

perfect Tank

This tank is perfect. Love the wide shoulders, great length, and not see-through. It is buttery soft but doesn’t pill. It wicks moisture and dries so fast! Just flattering.

best fabric ever

The fabric in this shirt is very light, yet still substantial. It’s incredibly soft. And the shirt is styled well and fits perfectly.

Sahara Tank Top is another REI winner!

Nice fabric and good price point. Not quite as long as similar tops I tried and this makes it more versatile. Washed well with minimal wrinkling. Will be a go to top this summer in the heat.
