Free Fly Bamboo Lightweight Long Sleeve

If you're tired of stiff performance shirts, this shirt is a great soft and lightweight option. The bamboo polyester blend feels more like a cotton shirt than other performance tops I've found. It is so comfortable that I also wear this shirt around the house and to bed (in addition to hiking, biking, and backpacking). I don't do that with other performance tops. I've had two of these shirts for over three years and I love them. They have no bells or whistles (outside of UV protection). They are… Full review

Patagonia Sunshade Technical Hoody

Fantastic option for sunny summer days when sunscreen is either not an option or not enough. I had the opportunity to test the Patagonia Sunshade Technical Hoody during the summer of 2018 in Northern New Hampshire. As someone with a tendency to burn during the summer while also running hot when wearing layers, I was eager to see how this shirt would perform and I was not disappointed by the result. Almost every time I went outside to fly fish, hike, bike, or hang out on the water, I ended up pulling… Full review

Patagonia Women's Nine Trails Bike Jersey

The Patagonia women's Nine Trails Bike Jersey is a versatile shirt that keeps me comfortable throughout long days on the trail. It layers well over a tank or short-sleeved tee, and under a wind shirt or other nylon-like outer layer. The three-quarter length sleeves are a nice feature that allow me to ride without the cuffs falling down onto my wrists and gloves. Avoid wearing the shirt under a fleece or other grabby material that could cause the sleeves to bunch. Testing Conditions: I tested the… Full review

Montane Men's Dart Zip-Neck

The Montane Dart Zip-Neck is a long-sleeved synthetic shirt that is an ideal year-round base layer (a short-sleeved tee is also available). It wicks moisture away from the body very quickly, is exceptionally tailored, and protects the skin with a high UPF factor. If you’re looking to start your cold weather kit from skin out, I’d highly recommend it. Long-sleeve Dart Zip Neck on the left, short-sleeve Dart T-Shirt, also reviewed, on the right FIT AND COMFORT The Dart fits exactly as I would… Full review

OOFOS Recovery Gear 3/4 Zip

This pullover is perfect as a lightweight hiking or biking layer. The Women's Recovery Gear 3/4 Zip pullover is a great option for a lightweight hiking/outdoor activity layer. It's moisture wicking and form-fitting without being snug. It's easy to just toss in my backpack or Jeep and leave it there. The long sleeves have thumb holes which I look for in pullovers; added warmth for someone like me whose hands get cold easily. This is a great additional to my outdoor fall wardrobe.   Disclosure:… Full review

Mountain Hardwear Butterman Hoody

Smart enough for a base or shirt only I wanted a hooded base/shirt to wear with my hooded down jackets, so I bought two and they're just the ticket. Full review

Patagonia Tropic Comfort Hoody II

No sunscreen and I'm all good in my Patagonia Tropic Comfort Hoody II. This versatile shirt allows me to leave behind sunscreen, hat, buff, and gloves and still be protected from the elements. In the future, all outdoors people will wear this shirt. :) I don't like to use sunscreen while hiking or backpacking because I don't like to carry it nor the greasy feeling of wearing it. About two years ago I found the Patagonia Tropic Comfort Hoody II. I believe that the shirt was designed for fly fishermen… Full review
