Columbia Men's Utilizer Ii Solid Short Sleeve Shirt Size 6X Royal Blue UPF40

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the PFG line / style of shirts. Unfortunately there is a huge variance in sizing among these different shirts. I saw this new Utilizer II offering pop up on the website and under the description it stated they tend to run large. Wrong again, as with a few other shirts I have reviewed, upon trying the shirt on I quickly realize that it literally fits nearly two sizes smaller. If you are a bigger guy like me, stay far away from this shirt or be disappointed like I was. Dear Columbia, you had the sizing correct on the Blood and Guts III shirt, please use this as your standard.

Mesh liner is not attached at the bottom, which means you can't pull it over your head without first gathering up the mesh, or the unattached mesh blocks the neck opening. And you can't start by putting your arms in first, because the mesh blocks the arm openings and hand exit the vents (which normally would be covered by mesh attached at the bottom). I checked with Columbia, thinking it was a manufacturing defect, but they emailed back it was by design ... which is unlike the two dozen-plus other Columbia shirts I own. Annoyingly, I had bought 4 of these shirts.
