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.

Great product and I received fantastic customer service .

Great quality especially considering the price. Versatile as can be worn sleeves down or rolled up (has button retainers) and tucked or untucked, plus roomy fit so in theory different base layer weights could be worn underneath. I was expecting a much slimmer fit but this is definitely more in the mid-layer category (as categorised on this site, so my error). I am a 42" chest and 6ft 1", the medium has long enough sleeves and plenty of room everywhere. I have worn it plenty already for hiking with a wicking base layer and I think it's an excellent garment for spring to autumn in lowland UK. It also sheds water unbelievably well, I've been wearing in instead of my Paramo Bentu jacket! How long that lasts, is still to be seen.

Purchased after using the regular weight shirt in the winter, great shirt, not as lightweight as I had been expecting, and I find it too hot to use out in full sun in Spring. Under the shade of a wood, it is just right. Well made and rugged.

This shirt is comfy to wear, hard wearing and ideally suited to someone who has an active outdoor life. Warm in cold weather and cool on warmer days. I would heartily recommend

I love this shirt, hardwearing and still warm despite being the lighter version, with a baselayer and mid layer underneath. Size wise I tend to be a L in American brands and an XL in British/European brands. The L is a good fit for me with a couple of layers underneath. Highly recommended.

Nicely made and breezy.

So sturdy and well made. Great mid layer or top layer in the summer at night. Love the hidden pockets.

A replacement for a much worn and loved ten year old original. I have the heavy weight cotton 5.11 shirts as well but the tactile poly cotton version washes and wears better. An ideal summer overshirt with the useful concealed pockets that is unique to 5.11.

First class service as usual, prompt delivery and a great item. I have the winter version which is quite thick and heavy so I just had to add this to my wardrobe and will probably add another as I am so happy with it. Great roll up sleeves with locking straps, plenty of pockets too. Great product.

These were part of a birthday present for my husband and who has worn one so far, he finds the material very cool and comfortable. It is easy to wash, quick to hang and dry naturally. It looks smart too.

I have the heavy and light weight versions of this shirt having become entranced with it some years ago. Though the heavy cotton version is good, I find the taclite version wears better as well as making an excellent over shirt during warm weather. Mesh panels and vents keep the wearer sweat free. The pockets are masterfully designed. Like the Swanndri shirts (my other fixation) the shirts are big only in these shirts, am I a medium size.

Very happy with purchase, the quality of the material is very good and heavy duty. The detail of manufacture is excellent.
Look forward to the day it will be available in Khaki in my size, will order immediately. Thank you .

We received our shirts today and we are delighted. The construction is the best we've seen, straightforward, sturdy, beautifully thought out and designed with some wonderful extras. They fit like a dream. Simply the best outdoors shirt that I (Vincent) have ever come across. Delivery was rapid and at this price I'm sorely tempted to invest in another two. Well done Woodlore.

Need I say any more about this shirt. This is my second shirt of this type and I love them to bits.
If I go travelling abroad I always have this shirt with me. It's very comfortable to wear, the pockets are great, especially the hidden pockets to keep your most valuable items like a passport and so forth.
My last purchase of this shirt was a medium, even though it fitted me very well, I decided to go for a large version which also fits very well. I have been wearing this shirt in all sorts of weather and it has never let me down. I prefer the sleeves rolled up during warmer days, it's great to roll them up and attach them without the sleeves rolling down. I have had a few people asking where I got the shirt so I told them. It has also got the great advantage of when getting wet it dries pretty quickly. Highly recommended in my humble opinion.
Thanks again for the professional service I always get with Woodlore.

Great fit. True to size. Hard wearing and well made. Very impressed.

A quality product just right for being out and about. The material is sturdy but comfortable to wear. Inside pockets and a back vent make it very well designed. The shirt was delivered very quickly. Excellent.

Excellent shirt, fit is roomy and spacious. Cannot fault this shirt. Thankyou

Excellent shirt, fit is roomy and spacious. Cannot fault this shirt. Thank you.

I love this shirt, lightweight and dries very quickly, I quite often just drape it over a branch in a gentle breeze and it's dry in no time, has good ventilation and good size pockets. The buttons which hold the sleeves rolled up to elbow level (military style) are very useful too, I mostly wear it in this fashion. Very happy.

Excellent shirt and service as always with Woodlore. I have six of these shirts (in various weight and color) and have found them to be the perfect shirt for outdoor wear and woodlore activities. Thanks guys. While I'm posting can I ask if you could provide cheaper trousers on your site for general outdoor wear. Your professional trousers are great for the job needed but I know that many of us would also like to have a choice of cheaper general walking trousers too.

A really excellent shirt. Well made, lovely fit and comfortable to wear. Everything is in the right place, pockets are easy to access and have good volume. Washes and irons easily. Excellent value. Would buy again.

An excellent light shirt, good large pockets and cool to wear. Easy to maintain and excellent value.

I got five of these shirts now. Two summer and three winter ones. They are excellent shirts for bush craft, walking, hiking and camping out. Well made and will last many years. As always a great item from Woodlore and an excellent service too.

Excellent shirt, I have several of these shirts and all are of excellent quality. I would heartily recommend these shirts to anyone and everyone. Thank you.

Excellent service from your company and Royal Mail. I didn't order these shirts until late on Sunday afternoon (25/11/18) and received them from the post Lady approx. 1/2 hour ago (Tuesday 27/11/18). I ordered two more of these shirts on Friday (23/11/18) and received them on Saturday (24/11/18). The shirts are excellent - every bit as good as the khaki ones. They are warm and seem to be hard wearing, they are very comfortable and give a generous fit (very important at my girth and age). At my frugal wife's insistence I now own six of these - two khaki and four green. These shirts are well worth investing in. I can't recommend them enough. Thankyou.

Ordered yesterday, delivered today. Excellent shirts, the fit is lovely. Thank you so much, they are that good, ordered another pair today.

Great service by Woodlore as always. I received the shirt today and loved it so much that I just purchased another one. I have the 662g which is great for winter but this 426 is even better. The colour is deeper, which I love and it is very comfortable. It is the perfect shirt for bushcraft and other outdoor activities. Thanks again to the Woodlore team and to Ray too.

First class item but a short sleeved version would be handy for use in the UK.

I have spent decades wearing all sorts of outdoor shirts, both the uniform and the civilian variety. I judge this shirt to be so far the best of the bunch. It's a pleasure to wear and I aim to buy another one in due course. I can confirm that what the descriptive blurb says about the garment is accurate.
