They are medium soft, the XL runs just slightly smaller than normal. The overall fit is good and they are long enough. My only complaint would be the sleeve cuffs are a little tight. They are stretchy though so it should be okAfter wearing and washing these shirts 2 times each, most of the threads on the buttons have begun to unwind as well as 2 of the 6 shirts have stitching coming apart on the sleeves. Still if you aren't afraid of a needle and thread, you can't beat the price, $30 instead of $100 at most safety stores amd even more than that for ariat brand.
