I bought this shirt about 10 months ago after seeing Facebook ads for weeks. It's made of a soft stretch performance fabric and has pockets sewn into the front. I seriously love this top. On the plane, I put my phone, earbuds, cough drops, lip balm and eye drops in the pockets, much handier (and cleaner) than in the seat pocket. I use this top at work since I have a couple of favorite pants that have no pockets. I didn't use it on our Portugal trip because it was too warm, but I would. There are a couple of interior zip pockets and a little key leash. Only drawback for travel is that because of the pocket layers, it is not quick dry.
It is expensive (over $100 for a top), but it is a small women-owned company out of Canada (but they have a U.S. distributor in Florida), and I want to support independent businesses.
Today only, tanks are $97, tees are $114, long sleeve are $125. I bought my sister a top last week full price, but I may buy myself another tank.

Thanks, Ualagirl. They're a little too close-fitting for me (I like looser garments) but it's an interesting idea about the pocket layers.

Oh my goodness, I love the concept of this shirt! The tank could be worn alone or under a loose shirt. I don't normally spend that much on shirts, I don't even think my merino wool long sleeved tops cost that much, but this is such a cool product that I'm seriously tempted.

I just wanted to follow up, having just used the tank top on a recent trip. I hiked the Caminito del Rey in Spain and didn't want to carry a purse (not even my little crossbody), so I wore this top under my other layers. I loved it! I actually fit everything in the pockets including my passport, apartment keys, money, chapstick, hand sanitizer and even my phone charger and cord (I kept my phone in my jacket pocket since I was constantly taking pictures). I used the zipper pockets for the bigger, more important items. One thing I noticed and really appreciated is that I had no neck or shoulder discomfort, which I sometimes feel after using a purse for hours and hours, and despite having all that stuff around my waist, it really wasn't noticeable under my clothes. I suppose if/when I wear it just as the tank top, with no other layers, it'll look a little puffy, but I can live with that. The fabric was like a heavier polyester though, so I'm not sure how breathable it would be in the summer. Still, all in all, even though it's a lot more than I normally pay for clothes, I'm glad I got this tank top and will probably consider getting more of their items.
