Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Contenta Long Sleeve Shirt

I bought my first of this dress several years ago on a whim about to raft the Yukon but it was so cute and so light and packable I thought I'd bring it along. Glad I did because it turned out to be a great sun shirt AND great fancy/clean change of clothes for around camp (dirt does not stick to it!). I've since owned a few more and regularly wear them to work in the office and it dresses up great with a laina cardigan in the winter. I'm also currently pregnant and it's cute over a baby bump :) Please, please make this in more colors - but don't change anything else!

This is a great shirt for everyday and travel. I bought a second this year because I brought it travelling with me and absolutely loved it, it was the perfect layer.

Perfect work shirt for a public health nurse - can pair it with any leggings. This could be seen as a con but I view it as a pro - the material isn't super breathable so it keeps you very warm for such a lightweight shirt/fabric. And if you get a little too warm, just pop some of the buttons. Love this shirt, got the blue, its a good blue. I debate everyday whether or not to buy the other colours...And the pockets! They're deep, not your typical shallow faux female pockets

J'ai achet les 2 couleurs de ce modle de robe.Je l'adore cause de sa lgret et de sa polyvalence =robe ou manteau lger d't !!! Je la recommande.

I was surprised to see this item listed as a shirt; I'm 5'6 and it hits well below my knees. The sleeves are too long in my opinion; they extend to the middle of my palms. That said, I love it. I can roll the sleeves up and it still looks nice. I wear it to work with ballet flats, I wear it around town with sneakers or boots, I travel in it -- it's good for most occasions thanks to it's style and comfort, and it holds up well after extended periods of wear. One thing to note: when I say durability is a pro, I mean that you can wear it for hours, in a variety of scenarios, and it will still look fresh. I've only had it a few months so can't speak to it's shelf life, although from my experience with other items from Arc'teryx I have no reason to think it won't last a very long time. I also marked it as "runs large" but I think all Arc'teryx dresses run large. I am able to go down 1 size for the perfect fit... except for the arms in this case :)

I take this with me for post-surf sun protection. I usually tie it at the waist. It works. And it's lovely. Its also a bit large. I have the XS and would usually wear a S in arcteryx (surfer's shoulders).

Il y a longtemps, Arc'teryx a vendu une magnifique chemise de longueur normale, dans les mmes couleurs de ce merveilleux polyester Diem. Cela a t un achat extraordinaire qui m'a beauxoup servi et qui continue d'tre chic, confortable et pratique (un peu moins pour les panneaux latraux en filet (mesh') de l'ancien modle qui en cru (Origami) n'taient pas seyants. Voil une version plus longue, qui fait chemise ou mme veston ou manteau ultra lger, superbe lorsque port sur une robe du mme tissu. Cela fait un ensemble digne d'une soire chic, mais tout en confort et sans se froisser ni faire du bruit de plastique. J'adore cet achat! Malheureusement, la grandeur M qui me va au haut du corps ne me va pas sur les hanches. J'ai achet un medium et un large. Je peux boutonner la large jusqu'en bas, mais alors le haut est trop grand. Et les longueurs sont diffrentes dans les 2 tailles. La M est de la longueur d'une robe Contenta courte ( mi-cuisse), alors que la large est de la longueur de la Contenta modle rvis (aux genoux.) J'aime tellement mes vieilles chemises de l'ancien modle (achet il y a 10 ans au moins) que j'ai dci d'acheter la M et la L dans chaque couleur. Mais c'est exagr: on devrait pouvoir trouver un morceau qui nous va de haut en bas et qui a une longueur standard. Merci Arc'teryx d'avoir enfin refait une chemise en polyester Diem.

I take a standard small and this ran very large. Sleeves were very long (I'm 5'6" and 128)and shirt was overall very boxy and looked more like a lab coat. The origami color is pretty - like a very light pink - but the material is very thin so it's see through including the pockets are very prominent through the fabric. The fabric felt great and I love Arcteryx products so I'll keep looking.
