I like this long-sleeved tee so much that I have 6 or 7 of them. The fit is perfect for me and the tee retains its shape after being stretched by hiking and climbing. These shirts last forever and the colors don't fade.
I bought some of these for Christmas and they were a big hit. Quality is always excellent. I have women's long sleeve tee shirts that I have had for over 10 years and they are as nice as the day I bought them. When I buy them anywhere else they get shorter and wider with every wash.
ProsDurable, Great Value, Comfortable, non-wicking (a detractor)
This is a well-made, true to size, comfortable shirt. But, I purchased it solely to use for jogging and workouts. It apparently is crafted out of some strange cotton or cotton weave or is treated on the inside with some water-repellant. The fabric does not seem to 'wick'. After jogging, when I remove my outer layers, my back is totally covered with perspiration that collects in the garment; it's like wearing a plastic bag. In fact if I leave the shirt on while prepping for my shower, I get the chills and have to immediately remove the shirt. This is also true at the gym, but less so since I do not perspire much during resistance training. I hoped,that after a few launderings, that the shirt would 'come-around' and the fabric would loosen up, but still no change. So, if you are looking for a workout garment, this is not the shirt for you (unless worn over another undergarment).

ProsGreat Value, Comfortable
These are a great value for the money - feel soft, sized right, and truly do not shrink! I bought two, my wife liked them so much, we bought 2 more. I'm sure we'll buy them again.
