Shirts like this can get pricey, and I almost splurged on one at LL Bean that was about 80 bucks and I'm glad I didn't. I use this mainly for fishing but it's definitely a perfectly functional hiking shirt as well. It doesn't have the billowy (and as far as I can see, unnecessary) "cape" on the back and also dispenses with other useless bells and whistles I've seen on some fishing-specific shirts in similar materials. This is light but not too light. The buttons are substantial; not like a shirt where corners are being cut. I'm 6'1 and 185 pounds and in shirts sometimes a medium and sometimes a large. I got a large in this and it's generous but correct for the purpose I got it for. I got the red colored one and it's a little more of a washed out color than depicted on the website but still nice. Recommended (and I'm picky!).
