I think they are good shirts (well-made, durable, good-looking), but I prefer lightweight wool knit (e.g. Smartwool Lightweight zip-t) or in hot weather the Railriders Ecomesh shirt for dealing with serious trail sweating and environmental moisture.

Tranlation: I own a couple of these shirts but they don't make into my pack for backpacking. They're great for traditional travel/vacations and work very well for off-trail/some on-trail use when I'm day hiking/staying in B&B accomodations.

FWIW, the "air strip" side panels don't ventilate very well under a waist belt or if tucked into your pants.

I bought 3 of these shirts over the past 4+ years and use them quite a bit for 3 season backpacking. I haven't tried other similar shirts only b/c I have no gripes with the ASL, and usually stick with something if it works for me.
