GREAT Shirt

Rating:*****
I have this shirt in two colors now. I took the older shirt on a 2 week trip to Eqypt and a one week bareboat trip in the caribbean. It is light weight, durable, extremely easy to wash out and dries overnight. I wore it almost every day in Eqypt to keep the sun off me and I did not get too hot in it. It doesn't wrinkle easy, you can stuff it in a duffle or backpack, and then pull it out and shake it out. Looks great. The numerous pockets in the front are a fabulous feature for travel. It is amazing how much you can get in them and it doesn't look bulky. Everything I have that is RR is great. They make a quality product. And the STP price can't be beat. FYI...for your taller ladies out there, these sleeves are long enough. They are not really long, but most women's XL shirts NEVER even come close, this shirt is long compared to most I have tried.

sharp shirt

Rating:*****
I really like this shirt for work, I've gotten pretty much all the upf shirts in long sleeve that are offered on STP at this time, and I love them all. This and the dryflylte by exefficio are the coolest (temp-wise). Oh, and the royal robbins airflow dobby. My goal is to wear the sleeves down in summer, why else get a sunblock shirt if not to block the sun? Note: some of the UPF offerings have a curved, slightly longer hemline, which is more flattering on me, however, the staight hems that are slightly shorter (like this one) are just as professional and perhaps scoop air better. Vanity, or practicality? I have 6 different shirts offered on this site, and I love them all, I just choose which I wear based on my mood.

from work to hike

Rating:****
I really like this shirt -- I just wish you had more colors. I wear suits to work and this shirt works perfectly under a jacket which I can leave behind on Friday, head for Amtrak, land in Vermont to a week-end of tramping around in and out of the woods. This shirt adjusts perfectly. It dries quickly if it needs a wash. Again: MORE COLORS PLEASE! You had a blue at one time that seems to be gone -- I would like a grass green, lavendar, purple, brown, gold as well.

Love Royal Robbins!

Rating:*****
As I compulsively gather packable travel/hiking clothes for National Parks trips, Royal Robbins products have quickly become my favorites compared to other brands. This shirt fits beautifully, offering complete coverage for severely sunburnable skin. It's roomy, not at all confining, and the design is grown-up without looking stodgy. The cuffs cover my wrists with fabric to spare although many sleeves are just too short; the hem camouflages my bum and gut superbly (hate those short shirts!). I've just worn it locally so far, but it's definitely slated to go far, far away.

Great Shirt/Blouse

Rating:*****
This is a high quality shirt. I bought one in the store full-price and am online now looking to buy another because it's not often I find something I'm happy with. The shirt is comfortable, durable, easy-care and looks good on. I'm 5'10 and often have trouble with 3/4 length sleeves binding at the elbow. Not so with this shirt. This is the kind of shirt that you don't feel like changing out of when you come home from work. It looks crisp and classic in any activity.

Looks like a winner!

Rating:****
I have yet to wear this shirt, but it fits well, looks great, and I have every expectation that it will be perfect. My husband has two of the men's version, and he is VERY satisfied with them. I like the fact that the sleeves roll up, and that there are lots of pockets, which can be secured when traveling. I ordered a Large, and it is fine. Overall, I would say it runs a bit small, as I often wear a Medium.

I LOVE this shirt!

Rating:*****
I wear this shirt everywhere. I mowed my lawn in it, then rinsed it out and took my class of preschoolers to the zoo in it. I kept my cool and it kept my skin safe. I burn easily and can't bear to be hot and this provides my skin with sun protection and is cool, comfortable and looks wonderful no matter how frazzled I feel. Nice lines and the pockets don't add bulk.

great blouse

Rating:*****
This blouse is so useful! It fits smoothly under sweaters, plus it is lightweight and washes and dries great--no wrinkles. It is comfortable even on a hot day. I wish it came in more colors, as well as in a print or stripe. A long sleeved version would be nice, too. Its only drawback is that armpit sweat shows through, which a print or stripe would hide somewhat.

Terrific Travel Shirt

Rating:*****
This shirt is perfect for travel and hiking. Fit is just right and the vents in the back help with cooling. Coolmax helps with the wicking and drying. But overall, the shirt just looks very sharp and is very well made with 1 zippered napoleon pocket and 2 vertical chest pockets with velcro. No cons that I can think of. Good price for a quality shirt.

Fabulous Shirt !!

Rating:*****
I bought this shirt in white for a European trip in May. This shirt became my most useful item of clothing. Whenever I needed to look presentable I wore it. It looks elegant and I felt great in it. If I got a spot on it I would take a damp cloth and wipe the spot away. It's the best thing I bought this year.

Negative Reviews:

Yikes!Great if a breeze, Roast if not

Rating:**
Felt great when in the ac or a breeze. Then when the breez stopped it felt like being wrapped in plastic and cooked! How disappointing! The fabric is a bit industrial looking and noisy. It was over 100 degrees so I switched to my Exofficio Dryflylite shirt and insantly felt cooler and more comfortable. The exo's keep you cool no matter what and wisk your sweat away and dries it pronto! The fabric is so light, comfortable with give and flattering to the female form. Not these! I am 5'7" 140 and the small in both fit perfect without being too short anywhere!

Works w/breeze.No breeze you roast!!!

Rating:*
It felt like it cooled if it was only on the 90's and there ws a steady breeze. As soon as the breeze stopped I started roasting! It was awful! Plus, it looks and feels like luggage nylon and is noisy and ugly looking! I say get the exofficio dryflylite or airstrip shirts. they really work- keep you cool, wick mositure, fast dry, wrinkle resistant and look and feel like normal soft blouses.

Extremely big

Rating:*
The fabric is suitable for hiking, camping, and fishing. However, the shirt on me is huge everywhere but across the bust. Even though tabs allow for shortening sleeve length, there is still too much material for a comfortable fit. This might work for a woman with long arms and broad shoulders.
Barb at Sierra Trading Post on 11/07/2008

Bust a little small

Rating:**
Loved the shirt, but it was a little short in the sleeves & tight in the bust area. If you are smaller in bust, it would be a good shirt.
Dobieacat at Sierra Trading Post on 04/27/2008

Boxy and Stiff

Rating:*
Shirt was too boxy and the chest pockets made the fit very unflattering for a small-framed person like myself. Fabric was stiff and didn't feel comfortable.

Neutral Reviews:

Big Shirt!

Rating:***
I liked the idea of a bright orange shirt, since I spend a lot of time in the woods by myself, but this shirt was like wearing a pup-tent, very boxy and full through the body. I returned it. If you like full fitted clothes, this is a good choice, the shirt is well made and you can't beat the price...if you like something that is cut to fit your curves, this is not the shirt for you.
