I love these shirts, this is the 3rd one I have purchased. Great style and because I have to be careful in the sun- great protection. Wash up without special care. Get compliments all the time. I wear them in very hot weather on the golf course and other places. Very comfortable even though I am wearing long sleeves. Don't hesitate to purchase one of these- or more.
So far I've only tried it on and washed it for an upcoming trip. It fit well - tiny bit snug - is lightweight and seems it will do the trick for packing & traveling. I think I'm going to like it a lot!! My husband got one too. Love the color choices, not too bold.
I have several of these shirts and use them for sun protection. However, I prefer the older design. I do not like the rubber buttons on the newer ones because it is hard to button the shirt. I also prefer the patch-style front pockets of the older design.
I had purchased one of these shirts a while back and absolutely loved it, however, the style has changed and it was a huge disappointment. I wish LL bean would have left the style alone and not changed it.
