The New West as a long sleeve? Yes Please!! The Go Long uses the same fabric as the New West but somehow feels lighter and softer to the touch with plenty of stretch. It's casual but wicks sweat away on hot rides.

Another factor that makes the Go Long a very versatile piece is that it packs up really small, certainly smaller than all the other shirts reviewed. Using the old fruit comparison, I’d say that my men’s size medium rolls up and compresses into the size of a hearty apple. That makes it an excellent shirt to have in the seat pack for off-bike city exploring on a longer tour.

The Go Long's material is nice, light and stretchy besides breathing well. I also like the cut of the shirt it's a little longer in the back so more coverage while you're on the bike. Another thing I like about this shirt is it's got quick snap buttons making it easy to open up and vent on a hot climb.

Lightweight long sleeves are incredibly versatile we find ourselves wearing the Go Long Shirt when the sun is blazing and also when the weather cools down a bit and you need just a little extra coverage from the wind or to break the chill of an early morning ride. The stretchy fabric keeps you moving freely while on the bike.
