Mountain Hardwear  Canyon Long-Sleeve Shirt - Men's

I'm an archaeologist who works daily in the worst of the worst. I lost my old shirt in the woods of Ft. Bragg. Definitely not as good as the original and it's easy to see that the changes were made to be cheaper. Gone is the underarm and side torso venting. I also enjoyed the old FLEXIBLE buttons--easy to button one handed. It takes me 5 minutes to button the sleeve straps now as I struggle. I was also proud of the brand logo being visible but I suppose even MH is ashamed of this new product. I'm frankly mad at myself for losing a favorite shirt AND at MH for not making one that adequately replaces it.

I bought this shirt for general travel but specifically for a trip to Belize in Sept. Could not be happier. I was very comfortable on the plane despite the hot airplane in Houston. While in the jungle it did exactly as advertised. kept the hot sun off me, yes I was hot and sweaty but as soon I stopped in the shade it cooled me down. I washed it in the shower and hung up over night and the shirt was dry the next morning. Thought I'd add my review simply because I'm on the website looking to get a couple more of these shirts. I'm 5-10 190lbs typically wear size large and this fits perfectly.

Best all around shirt ever. Comfortable, Durable, and Attractive. Easy to hand wash, and great for Travel. Provides excellent sun protection for arms, and can easily transition to short sleeve if desired. I have used these shirts for 2nd layer daily wear for decades. I have no idea how many I have purchased. As the shirts age, I switch from everyday wear to yard work wear. I wear them until I can see thru them. Highly recommend. Will not disappoint.

Bought two, in stone and zinc. The fit and finish is spot on. I was strictly a Patagonia guy, but poor availability of the Patagonia tech shirts had me venture out to these. No regrets. I get compliments on the fit and color. My only feedback would be adding buttons to the collar to keep the collar from flapping in your face in high winds. Aside from that, these shirts are perfect in the Sonoran Desert or for deep-sea fishing off Charleston.

The reviews are clearly divided into two camps: (1) folks that just found this shirt and found it great for their needs (2) folks that have known previous versions of this shirt and are severely disappointed with the regressive design choices. I fall into camp 2. The fit and build material are still great. The lack of underarm venting is noticeable and I miss it. One vs two sizing buttons on the wrist and less convenient sleeve strapping are also regressive changes. My biggest gripe which is a dealbreaker for me: the hidden zippered pockets used to be generously deep, able to fit a smartphone and other small items I would constantly be using for fieldwork and travel. The zippered pockets on this current design are the same size as the exterior button pockets which is a huge loss of functionality. I cannot be the only one that values an easy access chest pocket for my smartphone for navigation and photos? I won't be purchasing one of these again unless the zippered pockets return to previous sizes. For many this will probably still be a perfectly good shirt for their needs.

Perfect hot weather hiking shirt that looks good for around town also. Love the extra pockets and collar sun protection. Drying time is amazing, after washing it will air-dry in a few minutes.

I own several. Great for travel and everyday. My favorite is still the orange, purchased 8+ years ago. Wish they'd offer more bright colors.

I used these shirts (gray and blue versions) during a recent trip in Madagascar, photographing lemurs, bushwhacking in the forest with a lot of underbrush, etc. I didn't notice any snags from the prickly underbrush. I wore a size larger than normal to help keep me more cool, and had to adjust the button on the cuffs, since the cuff were so big. The shirt was super comfortable, and kept me cooler than other shirts that I wore. They also dried quickly after washing them in the room, and looked great. The part that I liked the best (other than the sun protection--never needed sunscreen!) is the pockets. There are 2 chest pockets with buttons which are easily seen on the photos, but there are also 2 zippered pockets under the button pockets (between the button pockets and your chest) for items that you wish to keep secure. Also, the drape of the fabric is quite nice, as it has enough body to hang "away" from your arms and torso, which helped to keep me cooler in the hot and humid forests of Madagascar. It isn't water resistant, which allowed me to treat the shirt with permethrin insect repellent which was key as well. Overall, great shirt, and I am thinking of picking up a couple more for everyday use.

Light and breathable great for the Florida hot humid weather
