Really pleased with this. Purchased the 5.11 Taclite shirt on the strength of the 10 July blog post ‘beat the heat’. It’s an advance purchase for a trip to somewhere with nailed-on “excessive heat” – 44c there this week, mercifully with humidity below 25%. By sizing, two measurements said I need M and two said L. I ordered M and it’s perfect. The shirt is a very generous cut, I’ve got long arms and the cuffs fully cover my wrists. After it arrived, I was wearing it around the house to try out size and comfort, and weirdly I started to feel chilly so it works. I’ve worn it during our latest English 'heatwave' and it is comfortable. The shirt feels top quality and it looks smart, so good for urban jungles as well. The product listing says “The left pocket incorporates a dual pass-through slot for pens, chem-lights and tyre gauges.” Happily I found slots on both left and right pockets – which is great because being left-handed I naturally prefer these facilities on the right.
