I absolutely love this too. It is super comfy and will go with a lot of other clothes.

5 Lauren
Bought in black and white, these have become my go- to lightweight layer. I like the subtle logo tag on the back of the neck- this means I can wear this as a normal top as well as in active situations. Super soft! I lean more large, but bought both sizes for different needs. Medium fits more tailored for an active look and Large gives me a more room and is more casual. Super soft and good crop length.

Nice color, rugged construction, and comfortable although the S is a bit roomy on me, usually between xs ands. Sweated quite a bit on my hike and it stayed fresh smelling.

Lightweight, super breathable, extremely well made. Perfect for everyday wear around town or on the trail. Fjallraven doesn ’ t make many v- necks so this is worth grabbing in a couple different colors! Would recommend ordering one size larger than usual. Gets a little snug after washing.

[ Love the style, light weight, and quick dry. Will be making this my go to backpacking shirt in the evenings this summer. Comfortable fit and stretch for hiking and mountain biking. Great quality and design. Feels comfortable even in 103 degree whether while drenched in sweat and dirt; and quick drying. Will need to size up, but I won ’ t hold that against OR, as sizing up is recommended. More great apparel from OR has earned my loyalty.

Had to purchase a long sleeve shirt while cycling through Austria when temperatures dropped from the high 80s to the low 40s in 24 hours. Turns out this shirt is the most comfortable shirts I have ever had. While it is comfortable I. Warmer weather I found this shirt to be warm and cozy when when worn underneath a light jacket.

5 Kram
[ Love this shirt- material and fit. While I normally wear an XL for Fjallraven( 43 Chest), a L fits me for this one. I am a trail builder and find this shirt too warm above 75 degrees with routine exertion. Cost is high for me, but I think it will serve me well.

5 Clay229
[ The material of this shirt is great, soft and breathable. It is very comfortable for hike during summer. Sufficient pockets provided. The downside of this shirt is that the use of material for the button made it heavier compare to Abisko Hike LS Shirt but still light weight enough.

5 TooHotOutside
[ This shirt is amazing... snap buttons, comfortable material, comfortable fit, ample storage, can be worn casually or to the office. Despite ordering a darker color, this thing does a great job keeping the heat off you. I would order a whole closet of these if they were n't so painful on my wallet!

4 Ryan K.
I adore this shirt. Standing in film sets for 12+ hours in the baking sun, this short absolutely changes my day for the better. The ONLY criticism I have are the snaps. They unsnap perhaps a tad too easy. Let ’s just say my Co workers get some serious chest views from time to time.

Breathable and soft. This shirt is going to be one of my new favs for the hot summer days for hiking and biking. The fit is cute too, I love the cut on the bottom. It is flattering and ca n't ask for anything more for a short sleeve. Size small fits me perfect, I 'm about 5 1.

5 Outdoorsygirl
I bought this shirt a few weeks ago and it has quickly become my favorite running/hiking/gym shirt. It's so comfortable, the fit is absolutely perfect( everything from the slightly longer sleeves to the shorter- length torso), and most of all the material is the most breathable, heat- shedding material I 've yet to find in a shirt. Please do n't ever stop making this shirt. I 'm looking forward to trying the sun hoody next! I also own a Crater Lake sun hoody, and while the material is so soft and dreamy I find the Sunblocker to be much more breathable. Additionally, the Crater Lake is just way too long for me, so I love the short torso on this shirt.

Frequently Asked Questions For Desert Hiking Shirt

When selecting a desert hiking shirt, consider features such as moisture-wicking fabric, UV protection, and breathability. Look for lightweight materials that allow for airflow to keep you cool in hot conditions. Additionally, consider shirts with quick-drying properties to enhance comfort during long hikes.

UV protection is crucial when hiking in desert environments, where sun exposure can be intense. A shirt with built-in UV protection can help shield your skin from harmful rays, reducing the risk of sunburn. Look for shirts with a high UPF rating for optimal protection during your outdoor adventures.

The best materials for desert hiking shirts are typically synthetic fabrics like polyester or nylon, which are lightweight and moisture-wicking. These materials help to keep you dry by pulling sweat away from your skin. Additionally, some shirts may incorporate natural fibers like cotton for comfort, but ensure they are blended with performance fabrics for optimal functionality.

The choice between short sleeve and long sleeve shirts for desert hiking depends on personal preference and sun exposure. Long sleeve shirts offer added protection from the sun and can help keep you cooler by shielding your arms. However, short sleeve options may provide better airflow and freedom of movement, making them suitable for less intense sun conditions.

To ensure comfort in a desert hiking shirt, look for features such as a relaxed fit and flat seams to prevent chafing during movement. Additionally, consider shirts with ventilation options, like mesh panels or roll-up sleeves, to enhance airflow. It's also beneficial to choose lightweight fabrics that allow for ease of movement and adaptability to changing temperatures.

Durability is an important factor when choosing a desert hiking shirt, as it needs to withstand rough terrain and frequent use. Look for shirts made from high-quality, abrasion-resistant materials that can endure the wear and tear of outdoor activities. Additionally, check for reinforced stitching and quality construction to ensure the shirt maintains its integrity over time.
