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.

Nice shirt for warm weather
The Sahara Polo Shirt is great for Phoenix living. Has a a nice drape and soft feel, enough to maintain its structure and feel cool to the touch. I like the sleeve fit and size, just large enough to feel light and airy, but still fitted.
Great shirt for warm climates
Perfect shirt for warm weather. Wore it during a trip to Southeast Asia and it was great. Material is soft and breathable but not too thin. Collar allows for entrance to restaurants with pickier dress codes. Dries quickly and the SPF protection is a plus. Will pick up a few more.
Great Polo!
Great quick dry Polo, comfortable to wear. Fits as expected. Material is pretty solid. I'm excited to wear golfing on a hot day. I'm 6 ft and weigh a solid 190, a medium fits me perfectly. The blue I got is a nice heather shade.
Nice technical shirt for town or backcountry
This is a nice looking shirt and the fabric is lightweight and stretchy. I typically wear long sleeves in the backcountry for sun and bug protection, but this would do well if you like short sleeves. I will wear this in town and to work mostly. The fit is spot on.
Great Fitting Shirt
Great fitting shirt for everyday casual wear or even work. Loose fit and very comfortable to wear without an undershirt. Fit is true to size, 6'3, slender build and a Large fits perfect. Will definitely purchase additional shirts!
Happy
The material is very soft and light, it sets well on me, not a baggy shirt. I measure 6' 175 lb and bought a size medium. I plan to buy more
Good but not great.
A decent lightweight polo for hot weather. I bought an XL for my husband, but he would have needed an XXL, so I'd say it runs slightly small. I ended up exchanging it for a similar polo by Vuori which had a better cut and fit. The Vuori fabric is better quality and more comfortable in the heat and against the skin.
Comfortable
Very comfortable and fits well. In this heat it’s a great shirt
Cheaper material
ChePer material than i thought?
Perfect for sports and social
Looks good at social and work activities. Feels even better. Durable for hiking, tennis, golf. And comes out of the dryer looking perfect (unless you leave it there too long, in which case just rinse, repeat, and its new again).
