This is a great long-sleeve option for cooler days or layering. I normally wear a medium (140lb, 5'7") but sized up based on reviews. Allows for a tank underneath, and gives a bit more of an active fit. Great material, sleeves are long enough (thank GOODNESS!) and long enough to tuck in or under a backpack/hippack strap without riding up.

I ordered this shirt as I am a long-sleeve kinda gal and wanted to use it as a layering piece for my longer summer hikes. It serves this purpose and is a nice, lightweight long-sleeve and a good fit. I am generally a size 4-6 top and ordered a medium so I could wear a tank underneath and still have a bit of room. It fits perfectly...not so tight as the Lulu swiftly shirts I had been wearing. I'm just wanting a little more breathing room and getting tired of tight fitting stuff these days! ;)

I am 5'2" and 125 pounds. I have a small bust and a large bottom. I bought the large because people's reviews indicated the size runs small. I wanted it to fit comfortably around my hips and not cling. Overall, the large is too large for my body shape but I plan to keep it. Rather have a roomy fit than a tight fit. The sleeve length is long, but it will cover my hands when the weather gets cold, so I'm fine with that. Very happy with the quality of the construction of the top and the color is beautiful.

I was given this product by Backcountry, but this review is my personal opinion. This is a great long sleeve shirt! The fabric is SO comfortable to wear and very breathable: I like to wear this shirt while hiking when it’s 75°F/sunny so that my arms aren't as exposed to the sun, and the shirt still feels comfortable despite the moderate heat. The slim fit allows me to add baggy layers on top of it and because of the thumb holes, I've never run into that annoying issue where a sleeve gets lost in a jacket arm. The color options are excellent and the reflective lines on the wrists are also an added bonus to make myself more visible when I'm hiking in the dark. I've washed the shirt many times and it comes out looking like new, with no changes to the color, fabric, or size. However, I would recommend ordering a size larger than you normally would if you want to get that "slim-fit but not skin-tight" feel. I a™m usually a size Small for shirts but in this shirt I'm a size Medium and it fits just the way I want it to. The shirt is very stretchy which also helps the fit. For additional context, my chest size is 34 inches, forearms are about 7 inches in circumference, and the color is Surf Spray.

I was just in Montana and wore this shirt at the beginning of the day when it was 42 to when it was at it's peak of 74. I was never cold or too hot. It was beyond breathable! I will 100% buy more for spring skiing!

Like everyone has said, this runs a smidge small so I bought the medium and it fits perfectly. Not too loose or tight at all. Finger holes are awesome and the salmon color blocks on the arms are so cute. I get lots of compliments when hiking!

I am 5’12” and 160 lbs. I ordered a Large. I struggle to find athletic shirts that fit my arms and body. I read the reviews and was hesitant after seeing that the shirt ran small and tight. I took a chance and received my shirts...wore one, fell in love (so soft), washed it and bought 5 more. I can wear this with jeans or on long runs. The fit is fantastic! Backcountry...please keep making the La Sal long sleeved shirt. So excited to find a shirt that looks and feels great...and fits. Thank you!!

I’m a medium across the board, so I sized up per reviews and this was still too snug. Not meant for taller women imo. Snug inter the arms, tight chest, tight across stomach. Also fabric is too hot to use for sun protection. I returned

I was a little nervous getting this based on the reviews that it runs a bit small but I am so glad I did! It is so comfy and works great and breaths very well to for a long sleeve. I would say based on how you like things fitted this might run a bit small, I am usually a medium but I went with a large and I am glad I did.

This shirt is so soft and the arm length is fantastic. I have super long arms and the Medium went beyond my wrists. I am returning for a large, just because things seemed a little more snug than I would like. Otherwise, all around awesome. Great layering shirt.

The material is really soft and luxurious feeling. Loved the colors of the green/moss. i am short so the body length was nice and the arms long for thumb hole use. i like the slightly longer in the back to drape over the back/butt area. not a lot, but more coverage than normal which i like. I am always a small but I got a med because I wanted a loser fit and the M felt like a small/almost even xs. The arms are pretty tight and I have normal toothpick forearms. i returned it and ordered a large. its a flattering shape too, even in large. i can wear it from the trail to the bar without feeling like a bum. it breaths nicely and has a good weight to it, not thick but not paper thin. if you are a small, get a large for a more relaxed fit. If you want a tighter fit go with M.

I wanted to really like this shirt, but I felt that the sizing ran a little bit small and I had to return it before giving it a try. I'm normally a medium in most tops, but when I put this on, it was super tight and really short on me, so I felt that the fit just wouldn't work for me.

I got this product to upgrade my last long sleeved running shirt. I couldn't™ pass up the cute color blocked sleeves. My first impression was that this shirt is incredibly soft, lightweight, and breathable. I've been on several runs with it and have no complaints with the structure. It doesn't€™ pull/chafe anywhere and did€™nt get sweaty and sticky. Looking forward to using this as a summer sun protection shirt as well.
