Light weight sewn in elbow pads. Durable bottom hem. Shirt is lightweight and breathes well, allowing you to keep cooler than cotton might. I've owned one. Can stretch to go over heavier weight clothes for when the thermometer drops.
Paint soaks into it rather quickly.
Paint will not stain the shirt permanantly, and it washes out really well. Bug repellant has had no effect on the shirt or its' graphics. The shirt is comfortable to wear, though it tends to cling to you. Makes very little noise against brush in passing. Also good for people who go from speedball to wooded field play, or just want to buy one jersey.
