    Really love the fit of Columbia. This shirt's good for shade and hope the bug treatment isn't poisonous (it can't exactly be good, now can it?). Could do without embroidered INSECT BLOCKER or whatever it is on the sleeve; wish the inner collar band was not a different color; and really wish collar was a bit stiffer. This type of flip up collar usually stands up easily, but not so with this shirt. Bummer, since I wear it for shade and protection riding my motorcycle. I may slit the collar seam and insert some iron-on interfacing to increase stiffness, but jeez, that tales more time than I have and is a hassle.

    I purchased two of these shirts for my 16 year old daughter who will be traveling to the Amazon. We followed the size chart and got her a women's small. However, we ended up exchanging for an extra small since it was a bit too roomy in the waist and long in the sleeves. She is petite, but according to the chest and waist sizes in the chart, we ordered a size too large originally. Although she has not used the shirts yet, it is evident that they are very good quality.

    I am glad that I read the reviews because I generally wear a small shirt and I bought a medium. The sleeves roll up to above the elbow, which i was surprised about. I am taking this into the woods in China, so I hope that it keeps mosquitos away. Otherwise, it's what I expected. Shame on the small sizing. I am 5'6" and 125 lbs.

    Fits well, looks good, not dressy but very functional. Only downside is that it has to be washed separately from other clothing....

    • Answer The chemical used has been used in military clothing and civilian clothing for some time. It is probably safer than being bitten by a mosquito infected with West Nile or a tick with Lyme Disease.
