A very functional shirt. I use this thing for everything. A base layer during the winter, A UV/Rash Gard in the ocean, and as a Sun blocking T-shirt during the summer. It drys incredibly fast and feels like your wearing nothing. The only hang up is that the arms tend to be a an inch or two short for my liking ( and I don't have disporportionaltely long arms) and the sleeves don't taper at the wrist where there is no elastic. The end result tends to be a bit of a farmers tan two inches up from my wrists. The one thing I don't wear this for is running because it tends to be snug and I like loose fitting running clothes.

A great layer for any season. It works aswell as a casual shirt while traveling and around town as it does as the base layer while in the mountains. The shirt wicks very well and is easy to wash in a hostel sink and then wear the next day. The only negative is my shirt does show some fabric snagging from the friction from my day pack.

I own one of these
Works great, but a little on the expensive side and sized a bit small.
