'NOT A BAD SHIRT'
Strengths:
Comfortable.
Dries quickly.
Easy to wash.
Weaknesses:
Collar is badly cut.
Cuffs are tight.
Overall:
This is quite a good shirt, overall. It's comfy in hot conditions and the fabric has a nice, soft feel.

They are very good for foreign holidays as they can be washed by hand and will dry out very quickly on a hotel balcony. No need to iron either and smart enough for evening wear (I prefer not to dress like a toddler when abroad, as so many Brits seem to these days).

The collar doesn't sit well as it is poorly cut and the cuffs are quite close-fitting - there is a second cuff button to allow them to be even more tightly fastened but it won't be of any use to anyone other than a famine victim.

Quite good value.

'PRETTY GOOD SHIRT'
Strengths:
Dries quickly from wet, nicely cut, vents in the armpits keep you cool.
Weaknesses:
Price and silly security pocket.
Overall:
I have got 3 of these now, 2 in red and one in green. I wear them to work as I can be outside in the Shetland breeze one moment and in an overheated office the next. They cope well at keeping you warm when necessary and cool too. Easy to look after you just bung them in the washing machine and pull them out when finished. They dry quickly and without the million creases you get in many easy care fabrics. Hang the shirt on a hanger and it's smart enough for a working day in Shetland!

Craghoppers are always optimistic with their pricing so only buy them in the sales. I paid £22.50 for the last one. List was £30. Only certain colours were reduced and sadly blue wasn't one of them. Oh well, they only sold me one shirt whereas they could have sold me more!
