Outdoor Research Essence T-Shirt - FreshGuard®, Short Sleeve (For Women)

Fairly well made T shirt but it's thin and I'll be wearing it as an undershirt or in very hot weather. I'm a petite 5', 105 lbs and it bearly fit. Order a size larger.

As mentioned above, this shirt is much shorter than it appears in the picture. It also has quite a boxy fit. I had to return it and doubt it would fit most women, but my judgment may be skewed as I am a bit thin for my height.

comfortable for hiking however, a little short.

I really loved this shirt-- great fabric quality, flattering, great color (bluejay). But it hit just slightly below the waist on regular pants. With bending down or a lower-rise pair of pants, that means exposed skin for the bugs. Someone else warned that the pic was deceptive, and I must agree. Mentally, try lopping off 1/4 of the total shirt, and you'd see what mine was like (sometimes with closeouts this is not true for all colors, but it was for bluejay). Had to return it, but I was very sad about it!

OR makes great quality products, but I had to return this. It was just too short even before being washed. I'm only 5'2" and I'm not all torso or anything. I can only imagine what it would look like after being washed a few times. The picture is very deceiving when it comes to the length. If you don't like hiking in belly shirts, pass on this one.

Wore it hiking on a chilly day and stayed warm.

This will be perfect for mountain biking, spring skiing, and backpacking this summer. The raglan sleeves work great for pack straps (non-chafing). Not too short in torso like hind, ex officio, etc. Super light and breathable and nice colors.

I bought this shirt to help keep me warm and dry. For work I often start out hiking in the cold morning and then shed layers as it warms up. This shirt work great because it kept me warm and dry.

a very cute top that is thicker and warmer than an average tshirt. Probably not the best choice for hot weather pursuits, but it does wick sweat well and keep the body dry. Perfect for mild to cooler weather, though I'd recommend getting the long-sleeve version for cooler temps. Overall it is very soft and a nicely constructed top.
