Wrinkles easily and zippers snag, which is too bad
"I like the idea of this shirt (lightweight and cool but sun protective overshirt) and have purchased similar shirts from K over the years. This one is not my favorite because as others have noted the pocket zips snag very easily and also the fabric is more plasticky than previous years and always looks wrinkled. I am not going to iron it every time I walk the dog, so I wear it infrequently and regret the expense. The similar "Men's Sun Breaker Long Sleeve Shirt" is the same price and doesn't have these problems but I find it too heavy for hot weather. So, choose your poison."
bad design
"it is like wearing a sleeping bag, it gets very hot and unpleasant."
Shirt is soft and comfortable
"Shirt is soft and comfortable for hikes."
Avoid if hiking with backpack
"Very comfortable shirt but you will sweat in this - even on a warm day when hiking - and when I say sweat, I mean the shirt will become saturated very quickly and stay soaked all day. I took mine back - not fit for purpose if you are hiking with a backpack."
Men’s Ridge UPF Long Sleeve Shirt
"This shirt is of excellent quality. I highly recommend it!"
Very good hiking shirt
"I bought this shirt for my brother-in-law, who does a lot of hiking. He particularly liked the fact that there’s a button near the neck to close the shirt."
Perfect Summer Shirt
"Perfect for our hot Aussie summers. Light weight and this colour is much cooler than the other darker colours in this range. Zip pockets are handy but require some finesse to not jam on the surrounding fabric. It took 3 tries with other outdoor shirts to find exactly what I was looking for, highly recommend."
Zip up pockets not a plus
"The pockets have very small zips on the sides and doing the up or opening the zips the fabric to the top of the shirt pocket continually gets caught in the zip. To get something out of the shirt pockets you have to slowly and methodically hold the fabric out of the path of the zip. Maybe this will ease as the shirt gets older and has more washes softening the fabric on the pocket edge."
