WoolPro Skylark Ultralight Crew

Comfortable and versatile this 100% Merino wool shirt functions as a cooling shirt when wet, yet warms when dry, and also makes a nice base layer under a rain jacket or other outerwear. Cooling function works best for those who sweat a bit to begin with, as otherwise it will probably warm you up instead. Form fitting comfort without restriction, perfect for exploring Baxter State Park. I was a bit hesitant when offered the chance to test this shirt because the idea of wearing wool in summer seemed… Full review

Patagonia Tropic Comfort Hoody II

My new favorite summer hiking shirt, the Tropic Comfort Hoody II blocks the sun, dries fast, and packs small. Great for any activity where the sun is your enemy. Fit & Comfort The Tropic Comfort Hoody II (TCH from here on) is extremely comfortable. The fine polyester knit is soft and feels great. The fit is very relaxed, so it will not fit like Patagonia's baselayers — size down for a close-to-skin fit. The hood is also generous, but not huge or billowy, and fits over a ball cap for full sun… Full review

Outdoor Research Men's Ensenada Sun Hoody

This comfortable pullover is a great sun protection alternative for anyone who is outside enjoying summertime, whether in the bay or just out to play! The top layer provides good sun protection, paying specific attention to one’s hands and neck. You don’t need a sunburn to get your ‘D-Levels’ up!!! The Ensenada Sun Hoody shirt is best suited for daytime use, in front-country applications like running, boating, beach use, or day hiking. In addition, this shirt is ideal for people who do not… Full review

Under Armour CoolSwitch Trail Long Sleeve Tee

Very light and comfortable. I tend to sweat quickly but I didn't get overheated even though it is a long sleeve. When I did sweat it wicked it away just like I had hoped it would. Great base layer. I found this long sleeve very comfortable and light. I don't tend to like long sleeve gear if I can avoid it, but this product didn't annoy me at all. I tend to sweat rather quickly, but that wasn't an issue with this at all. As quick as I would sweat it would remove enough moisture that I didn't get… Full review

Pearl Izumi Pursuit Long Sleeve

The Pursuit shirt is a featherweight top that feels like a second skin. The shirt is treated with Icefil, a transfer dry fabric that pulls moisture from the skin through the fabric which, in turn, cools the skin. The Polyester/Spandex fabric also provides SPF 50 sun protection. I tested the Pearl Izumi Pursuit long sleeve top over several months. Most of the testing was done at my local fitness center with additional use out on the trail. The Pursuit top would be considered semi-form fitting in… Full review

Arc'teryx Lana Comp Shirt LS

The women's Lana and men's Pelion Comp Shirts LS offer up a durable, breathable shirt that lives up to its Arc'teryx branding. At 5 ounces, the crewneck shirt packs a wide range of uses into a light shirt. The wool blend—a wool yarn outer-layer mated with a nylon core—tolerates a wide range of temperature like wool will do, but it is coupled with lightweight nylon rip-stop style sleeves (which breathe), that I found let in the cold during winter wear. This shirt is marketed as a summer weight… Full review

Pearl Izumi Men's P.R.O Fly Evo Pullover

It stops ALL wind, all snow, keeps out a surprising amount of the cold, breathes exceedingly well, sheds light rain, and, if it gets wetted out in a heavier rain, it drys quickly. It has more reflective trim than anything I have ever seen. It is durable. Great for biking or running in cool to cold weather, especially in cities where lighting is not good at night. Highly recommended. This really is almost the miracle outer layer for bikers (and I hear that runners like it too). It is so thin, it… Full review

Voormi Access Pullover

My Voormi Access Pullover is my current favorite and most versatile mid-layer. It has an athletic fit for me at 6'1" 185lb and arms that are plenty long enough for a large. It's both warm and breathable and can be worn anywhere from the city to skinning up Tuck's in the White Mountains. I was an early adopter to the Voormi brand and in constant contact with the company after the first limited edition HIGH-E hoodie sold out. I picked up the Access Pullover as I did not need a mid-layer with a hood… Full review

Mammut MTR 201 Tech Shirt

The Mammut MTR 201 Tech Shirt is as tech as its name. The following is a self-described Luddite's take on a shirt that only an engineer could love. Introduction I will start by making it clear that everything being the same I prefer cheap and simple gear. However, as someone who went to school for a long time to study technological change I also understand the need for manufacturers to continually push the design of gear so that it is both safer and more effective for users. In many ways I am a… Full review
