Light fabric was totally comfortable in the heat and humidity but was still enough to keep most mosquitoes from biting through. The only reason why I am not giving 5 stars is because after weeks of intense wear during heavy physical exertion, the underarms worked up a stink that was hard to wash out of the synthetic fabric. I have a longer, more athletic build with somewhat narrow waist and hips. Usually I am a medium lengthwise but a small width-wise. I was extremely pleased with the way a size medium fit: long enough for my arms/ torso but still fit my body sleekly.
This shirt is made of a nice fabric which feels great against your skin. The sleeves roll up and secure easily (or, you can just roll them up as a 3/4-sleeve, which I also do).
There are large security pockets with invisible zippers on each lower side of the shirt - this is a terrific feature, and makes the shirt "dressier" rather than having huge zippered pockets at the bustline.
I normally wear a Small, but I bought a Medium, and it fits perfectly in the bust/torso, so you might want to size up.
I didn't like the velcro tabs to hold the collar points down - so I just removed them - very easy to do. I don't fish, but the velcro rod holder tab on the left chest will be perfect for holding my reading glasses!
I just bought this shirt at a retail store here on Maui; I wore it once to town but haven't washed it yet. So far so good; it's very comfortable and COOL in this heat! The only thing I don't particularly care for are the velcro collar tabs, which I'm going to remove. I am ordering 3 more from Cabelas. Great price!
