Perfect for travel

On: 2010-02-22

This shirt is super light weight. It takes up minimal space in your luggage. Wrinkles shake right out. I bought it for a ten-day trip to Grenada. I didnt even notice I had on long-sleeves while walking in 80 degree heat. Superior sun protection. Slide on over your bathing suit and it will dry quickly. Easy to wash in sink and hang to dry (I havent washed in the machine yet, but it is machine washable in delicate). Fit was flattering and a true "relaxed" fit. The white shirt is sheer but not see-through. I ordered two more before I even got home. Worth every penny (what I spent, I saved in laundry charge or carrying twice as much clothing--and on suncreen).

Pair with some lightweight capris and a tilley hat and your are comfortable and protected from the sun.

I love this shirt but the washing machine wrecked the fabric. Best to wash by hand.

Fits fuller figure upper arms. Also great for travel

I recently went on a trip to Thailand and during this time of year it is hot and humid. This Dryflylite shirt was comfortable to wear.
The arms have been reported by some to be short in length. For me the arm length is perfect. I have chubby upper arms and this shirt fits without binding, (I bought size XL). I wear a size 18W blouse.
This shirt dries fast. I was in the River Kwai fully drenched and the shirt dried quickly and doesnt appear wrinkled.
You cannot iron this shirt. Just put in on and the heat from your body helps to make the shirt more wrinkle-free.
The other advantage to this shirt is the ability to stash money in the zipper pockets. This was great when shopping in Bangkok at the swapmeet. I had quick access to my money and was able to secure it quickly with a simple zip.
Only improvement I would like is more venting down the side, but I still have to give this shirt 5 stars.

Nine days in the Canyon. One great shirt.

This shirt kept me cool, sun-protected and comfy in hundred+ degree heat. Id wet it down in the river and put on to let dry on my skin. True to size. Fit my broad shoulders too. Awesome!

I have this blouse in Lt. Azure, Rosewood, Palm, and a Peach color. I love them. I wear these with the Royal Robbins Cardiff Travel Stretch Pants in Black, Khaki and Expresso. Totally color co-ordinated. This blouse is shorter than most travel shirts so it looks very feminine as it flares slightly at the bottom. It is still long enough to tuck in if you want but I wear it out so that it is breezier/cooler. You can NEVER find them on Ebay if youre thinking of looking there!

Fantastic shirt

So far this shirt has been great. Its very lightweight (which means it dries fast), and all it takes is a couple of shakes to release most of the wrinkles when you pull it out of a bag. The rest relax within a few minutes. So far, the only things I would change about it would both be additions: vents at the underarms, and a way to keep the collar up to protect your neck. Do keep in mind that even though its very lightweight and the upper back is vented, its still another layer, and if youre in a humid climate youll feel a little warmer wearing it. If youre worried about that, make sure you get a light color, as that will help.

Great shirt

This shirt has become the workhorse of my summer wardrobe. I love the silky feel of the fabric and the comfort of its coolness in the heat. The white color goes with everything, so is a must for travel. The fit is perfect, not baggy but roomy enough not to cling.
