So my first time spring turkey hunting has brought a problem to my attention...All my hunting gear has been planned to work in rifle season here in Montana during October and November. It was 42* when I drove past the bank sign on the way out of town this morning and I'm a hunting puddle of sweat.

So my pants are ok, but I think I need a lightweight long sleeved shirt. The wrench in the works is I'm 6'4" and wear 32" inseam pants so my height is in my torso. I need a tall shirt. I usually wear XL Tall in most brands. I'd like to get something in Kryptek Highlander so it matches most of my other gear, but fit is obviously more important than matchy matchy style. Any recommendations for good summer weight shirts?

To summarize:
1. I'm sweaty
2. long torso
3. Recommendations for light hunting shirts in XL Tall in a pattern that is good for pines and brown grass (preferably Kryptek Highlander).

Here's a picture as an example.

Might try Cabelas about the only option I know of for camo tall tops.

For that I would definitely want a lightweight merino base top, then maybe a Cabela's Microtex XL Tall shirt in whatever camo you can find. I prefer the Microtex Lite, but they discontinued that a few years ago. Not sure who else is making Tall shirts these days in camo.

Look in to the new Sitka apex series. Its new to 2018 and they do come in tall sizes. The base layers also come in tall sizes (core long sleeve and short sleeve) some of the jackets do as well. There is open country and supalpine patterns. I think it was a great move because there are a lot of people that have the same issue with length.

Eddie Bauer offers a ton of tall sizes, and usually has a basic camo pattern available in the more popular styles.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll have to check out the Sitka shirts and see if I can find any in stores to try on even in regular sizes to check sleeve diameter. I have been unimpressed with their skinny jeans/Skinny guy fit in the past. I couldn't even fit the cuffs of their pants over my every day hiking shoes. The picture looks suspicious but hoping I can fit in it and even have the option of rolling up sleeves if I get hot.

I glanced at Pnuma gear but didn't see any talls. Do you have any links to specific models that are tall?

I'll dig through EB and see what they have. At this point I'm considering something in FG or Coyote and using a sharpie to draw some black lines on.
