I have several of the short sleeved island hoppers. I really like them. I use them all 9 months of summer here in Houston. The shirts are cut larger and more square than most of the other patagonia styles; I'd say generous not huge like Ex Officio shirts. I would not wear them bush-wacking but the fabric isn't delicate. The website doesn't have them marked as updated but my spring '10 shirt feels to be a heavier fabric than my older ones. Maybe it just needs a couple washings. The blended fabric has a nice feel but likely dries more slowly than some.
I just bought a Sol Partol shirt which feels like it would be cooler in the hot weather but the fabric does feel more delicate. I think I'm going to really enjoy this one all in all.
The other travel shirt I really like is the Royal Robbins Expedition Short Sleeve. The fabric is all polyester like the Sol but it's heavier which I like for durability and in the white color, modesty. They are a bit cheaper too, which doesn't hurt.
