Great Shirt
This is the third Essence T-shirt that I have purchased. The material is soft, light weight and does not smell after a long hard hike. The shirt is constructed well and can be worm on the trail, in town or when traveling making it a very versatile addition to the wardrobe.
mixed review
I have one of these shirts, same size, different color, and I love it and wear it all the time, so I was really happy to find these on sale. I had to return the new one, though, because the fit around the neck was so oddly loose--the body fit was just right, but the fabric around the neck was hanging in folds. Maybe they are having some quality control problems? But the original one I have of these is wonderful, very flattering and I can wear it to work too (I love "stealth" outdoor clothing). So I'm giving this 3 stars: 5 for the original, 1 for the one I just returned.
