This is the shirt to try before you buy a drawer of them. If you overheat, you wanted a lighter synthetic. If you love it, buy a second so one can be the dry camp shirt. That dry shirt is not optional on a cold trip.
Who should buy it. Beginners building layers.
Best for. A first merino layer without a designer price
Standout limitation. Heavier than a summer tee
