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.

Short time love affair

I love this shirt! Light weight, dries very quick and oh so comfortable! Sad news though. I wore it only twice. I went on an annual birthday canoeing, camping, fishing trip and this shirt was made for this! I was into my 3rd day wearing it and it stayed clean, dry and didn't stink! I took it off, put on my life vest, and was sitting on the shirt in the seat of our canoe....the water was high and very cloudy. Our canoe was loaded and we hit a rock that we could not see in a rapid and took on water as I tumbled out of the canoe. Sadly, my shirt and my buddy's fishing pole were lost. I'm going to miss this shirt and will more than likely buy another one....loved the color and feel of it, sad to see it go so quickly!

I looked at this product in store and it is not as nice as last year's version. I liked the raglan sleeves and the waffle style fabric of the previous version. Please bring that version and material back.
No, I do not recommend this product

Great as an under layer in all kinds of weather. Easy to wash in a sink, and dries quickly. No sign of wear after alternating between two shirts after a 102 day trip in winter to summer conditions.
