CQRMen's Long Sleeve Work Shirts, Ripstop Military Tactical Shirts, Outdoor UPF 50+ Breathable Button Down Hiking Shirt

It's what I expect from CQR, the best quality! I like the hidden zipper in front, easy to put on. Plenty of pocket space. I have long arms, 25", and the fit on the XL is perfect with my 42" chest. The material is really nice and the stitching seems like it will last. Great shirt. I purchased a black and olive green.

CQR did it again! The exceptional quality of this shirt superseded my expectations and it fit perfectly with a Medium in size. I am 6' 4" with a thin build - being 160lbs. The Rip-stop tactical shirt rested well in all the right places - sleeves are long enough for my unusually long arms (I usually have issues with shirts not having enough length). The zipper feature is surprisingly a brilliant idea, which keeps out unwanted bugs while on my expeditions - also keeping in the warmth of your own body temperature, whether it's hot or cold outside. It does breathe well and the water resistance is outstanding - never stays wet. Recently I wore it at a concert where it decided to rain and this shirt kept me dry. As for the UPF 50+ feature - It apparently works wells as I never got sunburn of any kind - once the Sun came out that weekend. So, don't hesitate - take my word for it - you won't be let down. Really the most important thing is, to make sure you get the size that works. I could have gotten a large and it would have worked - but I chose a medium, as I wanted the shirt to be a bit more close fit as opposed to a loose fit. The length of the medium shirt ended just past my waist - giving the shirt a good look while wearing it. I guess the choice of size all depends on how you like clothes to fit on yourself.

Fit was kinda small, purchased to use as duty shirt, but isn't as comfortable as other options.

Four or five stars depending on the model:**** "Officer", this one, or***** "Commander", the other one I also describe below"Officer"Only four stars because of the sweat issue - this shirt is meant for wearing outdoors and is very comfortable for that. Only issue is when you exercise, if you are a human being chances are you will sweat and wherever the shirt touches your body the dry coyote-colored fabric turns to wet dark brown and this is very visible.If you are fishing, it's OK: just dunk yourself and the problem is gone.Except for that there is very little I would change in this shirt:* The style is perfect for outdoors* The fabric is reasonably comfortable and light for a fast-dry shirt - when camping I just rinse it at night and it's dry in the morning.* The back flaps with mesh are very comfortable and efficient for ventilation (unless you wear a backpack!)* There are two large breast pockets _under_ the visible breast pockets that open on the side with the opening of the left one towards the right and the opening of the right one towards the left, just as in French military uniforms which I found extremely convenient at the time and was delighted to find here as well - only caveat: they close with velcro instead of a zipper.So essentially two minus: the breast pockets close with a velcro and the color will show sweat."Commander" style shirtI have three of these shirts and I give them five stars. They have a different configuration:* The fabric is the same nature but the light colored on I have DOES NOT show sweat or not nearly as much* No back flaps but mesh under the arms - less efficient* The breast pockets are zippered (Yey!)* From the third button down they are fake and cover a zipper - originally not sure what to think of it: it is of course easier to put on and remove but the fabric can't be bent the same way and I was not sure how durable it will be - I can always sew a button in the field, much harder to fix a zipper. After a few years of somewhat heavy usage the zippers are all working perfectly.One advantage of the zipper is that insects can't crawl in your shirt.* The collar is buttoned down as with the "Officer" one but the button is hidden* The small strap that holds the rolled up sleeves is configured differently and not as easy to attach with the shirt on. This is really a matter of taste.* There are shoulder straps - I could do without but oh, well...To this "Commander" shirt I give five stars.

First CQR products are top quality professional grade products from material to detailed stitching to fit, true to size. There are many similar options dont be fooled. I have purchased their combat pants, flannel shirts and now ripstop and heavy cotton long sleeve shirts and cannot be more impressed or satisfied....have several more in my basket presently. Price is phenomenal for quality, again, don't be fooled by similar price from brand you can't pronounce...they do not compare...go CQR...you will be amazed. This hidden zipper fooled me, thought some hidden pocket but full front zips behind buttons.....looks like standard button up but zips....nice.

A little stiff. Does not relax enough in the dryer that would elimate portioning for social parties

If these are taken out of the dryer soon after it stops, they don't really need to be ironed. This is a nice shirt, fits well, and I love wearing it. I got a couple, and wear them often.
