Nice shirt, but careful about sizing.
Bought shirt on my wife's account. Really nice fabric, heavier than I thought it would be. Also appeared to be well made. But the sizing is a bit off (for me, anyhow). Whenever I buy clothes the salesperson usually points out that I'm very broad shoulder and large chested. I figured that being an activewear company, an REI brand large would be cut for someone with my build. Not so - some large sized shirts fit me snugly through the chest and shoulders, and some are tight to the point of being restrictive - but this shirt was so tight across the shoulders and chest that I had difficulty putting it on. And once on, I could have easily torn it down the back simply by crossing my arms. I may exchange it for an extra large, but the increase in size will have to be drastic to accommodate me, and not having an extra large sized waist, I'll probably wind up with an excess of shirt to tuck in and make me look dumpy and overweight.
