This fabric is so thick and stiff and scratchy and the workmanship on the collar is so poor that it is astonishing. I can't even wear this fabric. It's awful. I had also heard that they were good shirts. If I can get rid of these I will never go near them again. Haven't tried the MXS, but if they're put out by Cliff Keen ...

The signature shirts are a cheap shirt. The MXS are supposed to be the best looking, best feeling ultra mesh shirts available, according to testing. Davis claims unanimous positive feedback. I like Cliff Keen's shirts usually. I've had no problems. I've had the black, cream, and polo blue w/black trim in the regular stretchy fabric. They felt great to me.

I will never buy, endorse or accept a product from a company that puts out the shirt that I just got stuck with. They must be kidding. They can't even be worn; they're that bad. And for $26, they should be usable, at least. Remarkable.

Why is it that this industry has so many examples of overpriced, ill-fitting, unacceptable crap? It's amazing.

I don't let one bad product, even from the same manufacturer, determine that the entire company is bad. While CK makes some good shirts, the model you bought is apparently a dud. I won't waste my money on them then in that case. I was planning on getting the MXS anyway because they are supposed to be very cool, which as you know out here is very important.

Overall, I like Gerry Davis Sports products, especially their pants, so I'm sure I'll be getting at least some of my gear/attire from them when the time comes.

I bought the GD one because I thought that it was the lighter, cooler one.

I do like the GD pants a hell of a lot. They look good and they hold up well and they are extremely comfortable.
