Fjallraven Koster Sweater

A fantastic winter warmer that looks great and is made from natural fibres, though it comes with a hefty price tag. I absolutely love this jumper and I wear it for almost everything in the winter months. It oozes "Scandi-cool," which is very on-trend at the moment. Having heard about the presence of micro-fibres from fleece material in the press I am increasingly turning to items of clothing made from natural fibres. The Fjallraven Koster is made from lambswool with G100 reinforcements on the shoulder… Full review

Royal Robbins Men's Merinolux Flannel Long Sleeve Shirt

The Royal Robbins Merinolux Flannel Long Sleeve Shirt is a decent option for cool to cold weather hiking. People who like the look of a flannel shirt and want to avoid cotton will approve. So will hikers who crave high durability. Relatively low amounts of merino wool limit the shirt's temperature range: it's 46% Sorona polyester, 43% polyester, and 11% merino wool. Claims that the shirt has "superior softness" aren't accurate. INTRODUCTION Royal Robbins claims that its Merinolux Flannel Long Sleeve… Full review

Baleaf Short Sleeve Sun Protection Rashguard Swim Shirt UPF 50+

This shirt is a good product at a fair price for outdoor use in sunny conditions. Non-aggressive seams allows for comfortable backpacking and the SPF rating is great for a sunny day at the beach or in the canoe. This shirt fits well and is comfortable when performing repetitive movements or causing body friction with the shirt. It wicks moisture and dries quickly to keep you cool and rash free. Full review

Columbia Terminal Tackle Hoodie

Great fit, quick dry. Perfect year around, great for active wear or moving. Dries quickly and provides sun protection. Full review

Columbia Women's Omni-Dry Tamiami Long Sleeve Shirt

This would be a good shirt for travelling (really ideal, if they dispensed with the embroidered brand logos on the chest and sleeve), and fine for a day of light hiking or fishing, but not for repeated vigorous use, or a backpacking trip. This is the first specially-intended-for-outdoorsy-pursuits shirt I have ever purchased, and I did so want to love it, and for it to be a real improvement on what I usually wear to hike or camp (my husband's permanent press "dress" shirts that have gotten too ratty… Full review

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

RailRiders Women's Adventure Top

Can't say enough about this shirt. Its UV protection and comfortable, lightweight, and quick drying fabric make this an awesome choice for activities in a variety of climates. Fit & Comfort: I love this shirt! Does it make you look like a pilgrim? Yes, but's its a great shirt nonetheless. It is lightweight, comfortable and it dries quickly—making it ideal for multi-day trips in the backcountry.  The fabric will get stiff as sweat dries, but that's to be expected and nothing a quick rinse… Full review

Columbia Men's PFG Bahama II Long Sleeve Shirt

Terrific for warm weather, direct sunshine use. Application in fishing, hiking, and camping are great! Roomy fit for active uses! Perfect for a fishing or hiking. Long sleeves could take off the chill in the morning or protect from direct sunlight on warm afternoons. Vents and pockets are idea for active use fishing, as well as attractive enough for city streets!  Full review

ioMerino Ultra Tee

The Ultra Tee is a comfortable Merino wool T-shirt that’s great for hiking, running and global travel. I’ve been travelling for the last 18 months and the Ultra Tee has been a great shirt for working out on the road. My Usage Having minimal gear with me whilst travelling makes life so much easier. I like to try and stay healthy on the road and exercise regularly so I pack running shorts, my Altra Escalantes, and the Ultra Tee as my workout clothes. I throw on the Ultra Tee every couple of… Full review
