Not too baggy or clingy, just right
Great overall feel! Good quality.
Excellent shirt for hiking in the sun. I'm sensitive to UV rays and I don't like hiking in the hot weather. This shirt kept me as cool as possible, and my skin was safe from the UV rays. I like that it covers my neck and my hands. It's slightly long though.
While I haven't had this out in the field yet, I like the extra length tail (I'm 6'3") as well as in the arms. This NRS shirt has been well thought out. It even has a cover at the top of the zip to prevent the zipper from irritating or catching something.
Well-made but the sizing is off (runs large) and the fabric is likely too warm for my expected usage.
Styling was great. Sizing was way off. I ordered a small. Unfortunately the shirt fit like an X- large. Sleeves hung off my hands by 3 inches, and the bottom hung to my knees. I was able to return the shirt however I was stuck paying return shipping. I probably won't buy anything from REI again.
I actually haven't had a chance to wear it as of yet! The color and feel of the fabric I'm very pleased with
Love the shirt and material, fit is slightly off for me in shoulders but overall it’s great
