| Hey, I'd give you the shirt off my back, as long as I'm not wearing this one! This became my favorite as soon as I put it on! I'm sure I'll spend most of the summer in this shirt! It's early yet (just got it), but my experience tells me this is perfect for my outdoor lifestyle, especially when looking neat is a requirement. Admittedly, my skin doesn't handle the sun's rays these last few years - not like it used to, & I don't use sunscreen if I can avoid it. This shirt is extremely light, like seersucker, yet it's protective and VERY breathable. Love the cool features, especially the vents and special fold-up collar to protect the neck! Play in the sun all day in this shirt, then wear it to dinner or happy hour at the tiki bar. |

Exceptional |

| Exceptional shirt? Yes it really is the best shirt I've used for flats fishing and hiking. I need the long sleeves for sun protection. It has all the advantages of synthetics but actually breathes similar to cotton. Most synthetics are just too warm for a full day on the bow of a skiff during hottest months. As a synthetic it dries almost instantly when the spray gets you without the "clammy" feeling of wet cotton. Also great for kayaking. Wish they were around 30 years ago. |

Reasonable performance and comfort. |

| I wore this shirt hiking Arches and Zion National Parks. I was able to stay reasonably cool and comfortable as I had hoped. It was nice to have a long sleeve shirt comfortable enough to wear in the desert. I thought the Ex Officio Baja shirt was more comfortable even if it was not as light, however my wife prefers her air strip lite to the Baja. I would definately recommend it. |

awesome shirt |

| This has been a great hiking/camping/outdoor work shirt. The features are well thought out. The pockets are roomy and sit a little below my chest, so if I put things in them they don't bulge out and make the whole shirt tight. Sounds trivial, but is awesome. Great attention to detail in this shirt. Having said that, no way I would buy it full price...this is why I buy with [...]. |

Awesome shirt! |

| The fit is a bit off. The sleeves are to short, and the length is a little short for tucking in. I am 6'3" 220 lbs. I purchased the XL. Other than fit the shirt is great. Its ultra lightweight ultra cool, and ultra breathable. With the price offered from sierra you cant beat the price. If you like quality gear with a low price this shirt rocks! |

| I own several Ex Officio shirts, and this one is another winner. Wore in in June to Death Valley, was 112° F but I was comfortable, and the shirt washes up great too. Only complaint is that I am a big but active guy and the XXL runs a little small, it more like a true 51" chest rather than the normal 52" chest on XXL. |

Great Shirt! |

| Earlier versions of this shirt from Ex Officio weren't so breathable. They dried fast and provided a lot of UV protection, but were very hot in humid conditions (North Carolina in the summer.. . ). Ex Officio fixed this with lots of venting and more breathable fabric, so now the shirt is perfect. |

Nice Shirt, but...... |

| Great shirt , very comfortable, cool, good pockets, however when I got the shirt the sleeves seemed short but thought they would be OK, after the first washing the sleeves now are between my wrist and elbo's. I really like the shirt but will return it. |

Air Strip Lite shirt |

| Great shirt but runs about 1 size smaller than other Ex Officio shirts I own. The sleaves on the large seemed about 2 inches shorter. I usually wear a size L but I exchanged for an XL and it fits me fine. Good shirt. |

Perfect for my trips to Africa |

| I travel regularly to Africa, right around the Equator where it's HOT. This shirt is great because it is lightwieght & cool, but the sleeves can be rolled down to protect from mosquitoes. Another plus is that it can washed and dried very quickly. |
