Don't let the price scare you
OK, it's quite a bit more expensive than your typical fishing/outdoor shirt, but you kind of have to see it to appreciate what Patagonia has done. The stretchy nylon fabric is very comfortable, avoiding the problems of cotton and cotton/poly. Lots of thoughtful design details (e.g. the ends of the tabs that hold rolled up sleeves stow away and won't snag a wind-blown fly line). Snaps instead of buttons. And the high quality sewing found on most Patagonia garments. This is a versatile garment that's going to work in lots of different situations.

Fantastic Shirt
Great outdoor shirt for camping/fishing/hiking and I may even use it on the couch. I am between the XL and XXL and this time I am glad I bought the XXL as the size is small for an XXL. The sleeve length is perfect (I am 6'4") and the extra room in the shirt allows for a layer underneath.

Really great shirt!
Fit is a little snug, but not worried about shrinkage over time. This is a super versatile shirt, fishing, hiking, traveling, work, it really can do it all and will continue to look good for many seasons to come.
