Go-to Hiking Shirt
I like these shirts so much I already have three from two or three years ago. They're my go-to hiking shirts! They're lightweight, quick-drying, and provide great sun protection! I was excited to see what changes and improvements had been made since I last bought them! ... Unfortunately, I don't like this new one as much. It still provides all those great features that make it an awesome hiking shirt. It's still super light, dries very fast, and provides great sun protection. I wore it comfortably on warmer days with sleeves down, still nice airy, or sleeves rolled up and buttoned in place. Wore it comfortably on cooler days as well, in low 50s/high 40s. The little zippered pocket on the back/side is a nice new touch, and the slightly larger sunglasses loop is nice too! It's also got a very nice stretch to it, so it doesn't restrict free movement. Unfortunately, what I don't like as much is the fabric, while still stretchy, it's got a little less spandex than the older model and it's a little noticable. In addition, the fabric is just a touch stiffer, the old fabric had a little waffle pattern to it and felt softer. With the new zippered pocket it doesn't quite work as well (size medium, I'm 5'6") to tuck in, either. And the buttonholes on the sleeve roll-up tabs are incredibly stiff, near impossible to button. But all of that is more feedback for future improvements. If you're looking for a durable, comfortable, versatile hiking shirt that breathes and proves great sun protection, this is a great choice.
Hiking shirt falls short
This 2XL shirt had a lot of promise when it arrived but i think fell short for me, literally. When i tried on the shirt the bottom of it just met my waistline which meant i couldn't tuck it into my pants/shorts, and if i raised my arms it would become a belly shirt. The sleeves were similar as well, falling just at my wrists but any movement meant they would rise up my forearm. I have other 2XL clothing and it fits me just fine but this was almost like a slim fit which isn't my style. Aside from the sizing, the shirt itself had great material, was a lovely shade of green and felt very light yet durable. Had this fit me properly i would have seen it being used for yardwork in the spring/fall, hikes, an other general work/activities that require a durable shirt. I think the buttons on the sleeves to secure them when rolled up is a great feature for hiking, and the pockets having zippers ensures that your belongings don't fall out.
What a disappointment...
The top blind slats seem to close much tighter than the bottom blind slats. You can see into the house through the bottom slats but, the top ones are tightly closed. We paid a lot a money for these blinds and are very disappointed in how they look. One of the largest blinds we have is sagging and the other large blind doesn't sit properly at the bottom.
Becki, I'm sorry to hear that you are disappointed in the blinds. Thank you for including pictures of the closure. Please reach out to us at 1-800-538-6567, one of our product specialist will be able to assist you. Our business hours are Monday through Friday 9:00 am to 6:00 pm and Saturday 10:00 am to 2:00 pm eastern standard time. My apologies for any inconvenience.
Trail shirt with all the details worked out
REI nailed it with this one. First, the fabric is light, soft, wind & sun resistant and most importantly - you can easily slide your long sleeve jackets over this material. Hallelujah. Then there's the build quality: super tight seams, all stitching immaculate. How about the design? Thoughtful touches include discreet velcro patches for the front, pleated pockets; another discreet loop for sunglasses and then the zippered security pocket. All these elements are tucked away to keep the look svelte. I wore this through Arches and it kept me wonderfully thermo-regulated. My only drawback: don't care for the color.
A functional, multi-purpose shirt
First, the color of this shirt is excellent. It’s sage green. I love the color; it looks even better in person than online. As an avid hiker, wildlife photographer, and overall outdoor enthusiast who is more concerned about function over anything else, and with that being said, I like the style and feel of this shirt. The fabric is the kind that is designed to keep you cool and wick away moisture. It’s a fabric I am familiar with, and the type I look for when shopping for outdoor wear. The things I like about the design and function of this shirt are the vented yoke for breathability, the decent size breast pockets that use Velcro to keep them closed, and the fact that if you roll up the sleeves, there is a way to ensure that they stay rolled up with the nifty button tab. There is also a small, zippered pocket on the left side that I am not sure what it’s designed for, but you could easily use it for keys or a spare camera battery. On the flip side, this shirt is a Large, which is the size I generally wear. However, I found this shirt to be just a bit snugger than I like in a hiking shirt. The sleeve length is correct, and I don’t know if getting a larger size would change the sleeve length dramatically to the point where it would be uncomfortable. I wore this shirt on a recent birdwatching hike in Florida. The temperature during the hike was in the low 70s, and the shirt was very comfortable throughout the morning. Even though the shirt is a bit tighter than I am used to, I could move about with no noticeable restriction in arm movements, etc. It’s a functional shirt and will undoubtedly be part of my outdoor wear wardrobe.
So pleased!
So pleased with our 2 sets of blinds that complete a new bathroom remodel. We ordered the faux white sandblasted 2 inch blinds to go behind a new freestanding tub and the same matching 2 inch blind for the smaller toilet room, they look great!
Transforming Spaces: Levolor Faux Wood Motorized Blinds
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm happy to share our honest feedback on the Levolor Faux Wood Motorized blinds, which we received as a complimentary gift for our review. These blinds have made a noticeable difference in our home, and we're here to share our thoughts. For our twin windows, we decided on an outside mount with a cordless system – a choice that not only looks sleek but also prioritizes safety, especially with children around. The 2 Inch Nuwood slat blinds in the traditional style, with a sandblasted cool white color, have added a modern touch that fits our home well. A standout feature is the hub that came with the blinds. This allowed us to integrate them with our smart home setup. Plus, having 15-channel remotes meant we could easily adjust the blinds' tilt from anywhere using either the smart hub app or the remote control. It's been a practical enhancement to our daily routine. While we did face a minor hiccup during the initial delivery, with a motor issue and the need for different size valance returns, Levolor's customer service stepped in efficiently. They remade one of the blinds and sent out the new returns promptly, resolving the matter without much hassle. Considering the quality of the product, its user-friendly nature, and the responsive assistance from Levolor's customer service, we're pleased to give the Levolor Faux Wood Motorized blinds a 5-star rating. These blinds have effectively blended style and technology, and they've certainly made a positive impression on our home.

Thank you so much for your comments and the pictures. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us. Your feedback helps us to improve service for everyone.
Doesn't Breathe
I am a long time fan of the REI Long Sleeve Sahara shirt. For about 10 years they have been my go to shirts for hiking and just for wearing around town. Unfortunately this new design is a major disappointment. They removed the under arm vents, and now the shirt doesn't breathe at all! I find myself sweating in it anytime I wear it. Even just going out to dinner or sitting in the office. Won't be buying again unless they bring back the under arm vents. (Giving 3 stars instead of 2 since they actually brought back some earth tones this year and it's still nice looking shirt.)
HORRIBLE!!!!
I've had these blinds for about a week and they have both have started to sagging slates all the way down. I have 2 windows in my room so I had to purchase one for both. These blinds cost way too much to have the problem that I am having. I got them because of the color and working night shift I knew the Walnut would make my room dark, but they are sagging so much that there's more light coming in than was ever coming in with my old blinds. I should've just gotten my cheap brown blinds again as I had before. I am blown away at the excellent reviews that I am seeing cause on other sites all I see are bad reviews. I bought mine in-store, but I wish I would've read the reviews before I got them

Great fit... But the factory blind cleanliness?
The blinds arrived with some sort of dried residue on both sides of each and every slate. We ordered 3 custom blinds and all 3 had this same dried residue. I don't know if this condition is a result of the blind cutting process, but you would think you would receive the blinds as clean or better as if you had just bought them at the store.
