I am extremely pleased with this shirt. I ordered a size up so the neck gaiter wouldn't be too tight, as some reviews had mentioned. Wore it to an all day trip to a water park and it performed perfectly. Though it was black, it kept me cool in the sun and the water, it kept me from getting sunburned, and it dried relatively quickly when I was out of the water. The neck gaiter was comfortable to wear, but I didn't use it much; I have a thick neck and I really didn't notice it throughout the day. The hood fits well and is useful if you don't have a hat; it kept my bald head from getting burned and when it was damp from the water it kept me cool. Overall, I love this shirt and will be purchasing others.
