Banner & Oak Traveler Long-Sleeved T-shirt

It is very comfortable and soft. The graphic is high quality. Great garment! Very soft, breathes, and the image is high quality. Would definitely buy more from Banner and Oak. Loved using it around the campfire. Full review

Banner & Oak Traveler Long-Sleeved T-shirt

Very comfortable and soft shirt. Nice graphics and quality shirt. Unfortunately, the unisex shirt was too long in the arms and length for me. I occasionally receive outdoor gear to review and was excited to try this shirt because previous reviewers bragged about its softness. I am in 100% agreement that this shirt is super soft and by far exceeds the quality of other tees in my closet. The graphics blend into the shirt so there is no uncomfortable feel or stiffness on your back or chest and they… Full review

Banner & Oak Crescent Tee

It is so hard to find T-shirts with the graphics on the back! So when I saw the adorable graphic, I knew I had to have it I really love the look of this shirt. The purple shade is true to the picture and pops with my blonde hair. I’m 5’ 6’’, 175 pounds, and typically wear a XL or size 14. I ordered the XL and it fits true size. My only complaint is the arm holes are tight on me. I do have larger than average upper arms though. They did stretch out to a more comfortable fit as I wore the… Full review

Banner & Oak Crescent Tee

Comfortable shirt that looks good with everything. The shirt is soft and fits great. This shirt was bought for my wife and she wears it a lot. She likes how soft it is and it fits her well. She says it fits true to her size and she wears it out for daily errands or she can wear it while we are out camping. The design is nice and looks good. Full review

Banner & Oak Coyote T-shirt

True to size and washes great, the Banner and Oak women's Coyote t-shirt is a great buy! Super soft and lightweight. From time to time I get to review gear in exchange for the product. I was able to review this shirt as a result. I love this shirt for its flattering and comfortable fit. The fabric is a combination of cotton and poly which gives it nice stretch, breathability, and dries quickly. The torso of the shirt is a touch longer than other shirts I've gotten over the years which I like as… Full review

Black Diamond Alpenglow Hoody

Great sun protection and versatile base layer. Sun hoodies are becoming increasingly popular so I thought I'd try one out. I like versatile systems and in the past have used baselayers along with an OR Sun Runner Cap which uses a snap-on/off neck cape. That approach has worked fine too. But I found the Alpenglow to be an attractive option (e.g., the attached hood means no fiddling with attaching/detaching the cape or retrieving a hat that blows off during an unexpected gust). The fit is good—not… Full review

REI New Route Henley T-shirt

This merino/nylon blend shirt is the pleasant surprise of the season. Though advertised for casual wear, it is a fine shirt for warm weather hiking.                 A warm spring day in the foothills Being a Merino wool lover, I was looking for a casual henley style shirt for everyday wear. Seeing that it was described as having a "Merino Wool/nylon blend mesh" weave, I thought it might be a comfy shirt in warm weather, so I ordered it up. After wearing it a couple of times, I thought I… Full review

Patagonia Capilene Cool Trail Shirt

Patagonia's Capilene Cool Trail Shirt is a great T-shirt for backpacking, hiking, and running in warmer seasons, and even in shoulder seasons for folks with a high metabolism. It is very comfortable, dries quickly, and doesn’t stink after a few days. In addition, this Patagonia Capilene fabric shirt is Fair Trade Certified and meets Bluesign sustainability criteria, and is now on the top of my T-shirt pile for hiking and other activities. The lightweight construction may wear faster than heavier… Full review

Patagonia Better Sweater Rib Knit 1/4-Zip

Polyester fleece with a soft fleecy interior and a sweater-knit exterior. Heavier and less breathable than a comparable technical fleece like Patagonia's R2; not what I would think of as a great technical mid-layer fleece. More a heavy sweater for colder weather. Looks great—love the heathered color and rib knit. In fairness, this is not generally the kind of fleece I gravitate toward for harder outdoor activities. There are better choices for wicking moisture, warmth-to-weight ratio, technical… Full review
