I travel in a 25-30 liter backpack and consider myself a minimalist traveller. I bought three of these for upcoming trips to Rwanda and Peru. Overall, the shirt is very good (4-4.5 stars). The length is usually a little shorter if you are tall. I wore it 3 days in a row to test the smell. It smelled noticeably less than cotton, poly-spandex, or bamboo (according to my brave volunteer sniffer). The fur is softer than expected, doesn't stick and doesn't itch. On the other hand, tags are annoying.
