Review on Columbia Men's Meeker Peak Short Sleeve Crew - Enhance Your Outdoor Style by Dennis Goozmer

I used to have trouble ordering clothes from Revain but I've come across counterfeits. Since then I have only ordered items that are supplied and sold by Revain but these shirts have escaped their security check and are most likely a gray market item. This is why (1) the real Columbia shirt is priced too good to be true (2) the shirt is practically transparent. If you bring it to a light source, the light will go through. So there's no reason to believe this shirt has an SPF of 15 or so, and (3) the shirts (I ordered 2) came with missing stitching on both sleeves in very similar places. I'm assuming these are factory seconds someone is sending out the back door to the gray market. There's no way these t-shirts could pass quality control in Colombia and still be sold here for $20. Still, I can live without side seams because those are just my home shirts. But if you need these shirts for more active wear or because you think you're getting an authentic Colombian bargain I would reconsider this purchase.
