I ordered one of these yesterday when I saw this (good) price. One thing I noticed is that there is a Regular-Fit version ("Regular fit is slightly more relaxed than our semifitted original Sahara Shade Hoodie").

What I find interesting is that, while answers (provided by REIservice) to questions in the Q&A sections of both shirts about the difference between the two shirts confirm this difference in fit, one does not. (Q: What is the difference between this shirt and the "regular fit" version that has a separate listing? A: No difference other than color options.) Perhaps this answer was given in error.

Regardless, the Regular-Fit in Black Heather is currently available for $20.93 (sizes M, XXL, and XXXL). Link below.

I have an original and a regular fit. I found the seams on the "regular fit" version to be rough and scratchy on my skin, and did not like the overall fit and feel of the regular fit version. I love wearing the original Sahara hoody. The fit and feel are great and it dries quickly.

These are my favorite backpacking/hiking shirts. They offer excellent sun protection and avoid scratching brushes when off-trail. Thanks, OP!

Fantastic price. Did 7 days in the BWCA in a couple of these and stayed cool and no sunburn. In for two more.

I bought this earlier this year for $40. Just bought it again and will return the new shirt with old receipt. Thanks OP!

I received the shirt I ordered. I like it. I'm about 6'3" / 150 lbs. and I bought a large. I think the size I chose is probably the best for me. I washed it once on cold and dried on low. It seems like it may have shrunk just a little (even though it's not supposed to).

For 20 bucks these are good sun hoodies. The model I have from a few seasons ago doesn't move sweat as well as some other sun hoodies i've used. But they're also thicker and clearly more durable. If you want absolute best performance, go elsewhere. Otherwise this is fine for most.

I ordered both and this definitely isn't true. You can also see it on REI. The regular fit has gussets under the arms - waist to armpit and armpit to wrist. Also the thumbholes are horizontal vs. vertical. Then the stitching is visible on the outside. It looks 'cheaper' in a way because of this, but it may be more comfortable.

Thanks for the info and confirming that that answer is erroneous.

Do you prefer one version over the other? Do you think you will return either? If you haven't had them long enough to comment, I understand.
