FR Polartec PowerDry Top

This is one of my favorite workwear tops, and I'm in workwear all week long as a structural welding instructor. It looks professional, great for layering, and breathes well. I wear pants that fit at the waist, so the length is comfortable and doesn't show skin when I bend down or raise my arms. I've also only hand washed it lightly, being paranoid about the FR qualities, so haven't run into the pilling problems described in another email. Haven't found anything else that works as well as this shirt with the same qualities and fit, so I am really excited that Ariat is producing it. When they can get the price down a little, I will add another star and buy more of them. ;)

I like the fit and I don't even mind that it has pink stitching (I hate pink) The only problem is that the stitching is unraveling. I'd be more forgiving if it weren't so expensive. Unfortunately, there aren't a ton of options out there for women's FR and this is still more comfortable than many FR shirts out there. Therefore, I'd still recommend it to a friend but I'd warn them about the stitching. And yes, I wash FR according to requirements.

Shirt fits nicely, however it is very short in length. If you work in an environment when you have to raise your arms, it will rise above the belt line. Would love this shirt if it was longer.

I have 3 of these shirts for work. As soon as you wash them the fabric piles up and is so lint covered. It looks very unprofessional. If I pay $90.00 for a shirt I expect it to stay looking nice longer than the first wash and certainly not covered in piles. And Yes I wash these separate from other clothing.
