I got a couple at W-mart, Berkley brand(no I don't know that off the top of my head, just went and looked). The quality is not as nice as bigger brands, but the material is less than paper thin synthetic, and dries in a minute. Only drawback is they can get pretty whiffy on a hot day, but that's why I carry several shirts, to ensure a clean one for at least four days without washing. They were dirt cheap compared to others I have.
My new favorite is one from Under Armor. It is not super light, but light enough, and its strechy non cotton, has vents and large zippered pockets. Just wore it on a backpacking trip in 20F conditions and it made a nice outer layer. But again, its kaki, not the most visible shirt.
