As an Amazon Associate, Trailkit Outdoor earns from qualifying purchases. Full disclosure
Wear it, rinse it, and accept that it will smell before a merino shirt would. It is the right fabric when you sweat hard and the shirt must dry by morning. Cotton is still the one to leave at home once you are away from the car.
Who should buy it. Warm-weather backpackers.
Best for. Hot-weather hiking shirts
Standout limitation. Holds odor sooner than merino
