My favorite shirt in hot, humid weather, March 29, 2010
This review is from: Columbia Women's Omni-Dry Eddyline Long Sleeve Shirt (Apparel)
I own the Columbia Eddyline in 4 colors, and plan to buy more this summer. I am 5'5", 170# and the Large fits me perfectly. The Eddyline shirt is cut loosely without any contouring seams, but it is sized for women in the bust, hips, sleeve length, and shirt length. If you want to show off your waistline don't buy this shirt. It is long enough to cover my backside without looking man-ish. It has useful tabs at the mid-upper arm for securing rolled up sleeves, and the fabric and vented back are lifesavers in hot weather. It is the best hot weather shirt I have ever owned. I was concerned that it would feel like a windbreaker jacket fabric, but no, not even close to that, the fabric is very soft, comfortable, and light weight against the skin. It washes well, no pilling. I usually hang mine up to dry, but it can be machine dried without any problem. I did have one shirt pick up lint balls from a heavy cotton item it was washed with (I don't know which item), but the other 3 shirts have faired perfectly in the washer while being washed with chinos, cotton t-shirts, very light jeans, etc. If it wrinkles in your luggage just put it on that way and within 10-15 minutes of normal activity the wrinkles are manageable, and within 30 minutes they are gone altogether. I would love it if Columbia would make the Eddyline in a broader color range with less tropical, more subdued (but rich) colors (sand, taupe, dark navy blue, etc.) which would make them ideal for transition season or travel shirts for 24 hour use. If you like loose, but not masculine, shirts I highly recommend the Columbia Eddyline.

beware of sizing, September 10, 2007
This shirt is very well constructed. However, the XL is very, very large.
It seemed like it was a man's shirt size.
