Ksenia
I took this shirt with me for walking the Camino in the early fall( ~35C on the coast with no shade). I 'm very sensitive to heat( due to both MS and some of my medication), but after soaking this shirt in water, the combination of the quick evaporation and the UV protection was enough to keep me comfortable even at noon. It was great to be able to skip out on sunblock and still not end the day looking like a tomato. Like other reviewers said, it's a little rougher that ideal, but I do have to say, it held up to backpack friction much better than the Abisko wool shirt I took on the same trip and I did* not* get any irritation despite walking all day with a 10- 20kg bag for the first time. Dries very very quickly, which is great when conditions are damp.

Tina
I have bought 5 of them in both men and women sizing. I find them great. They are a life saver in the LA valley heat! I wear them almost everyday in the summer, I ’ m a commuter so trying to get as much sun protection is very important. I am between sizes so I sized up. I might just buy the new wool option.
5
FjällFox
I love this hoodie so much I bought it in four different colours. It's lightweight and softer than I expected it to be. It fits very well and is flattering and the hood is easy to wear even with a ponytail which is a nice touch. I think the only thing that could make it better would be the inclusion of a zippered pocket but it's still five stars even without that.
5
RiverPup
[ Keeps the sun and bugs off while keeping me cool. Quick drying and super cute. The green color matches my eyes perfectly. The pony tail hole is a little weird, but I appreciate it nonetheless.

Mac N.
I work as a construction project manager in tropical Costa Rica, this shirt is nearly perfect. It's light, it shields you from the sun, and the reinforced stitches makes it durable. The downside, this type of fabric forces me to wash it everyday after work to avoid odor from sticking. I would love to see this very design but with wool, the hoodie is a must for warm climates.

I ordered this shirt in Rowan red.( actual color is closer to orange) Paired with Abisko trekking tights pro in indigo blue it's a perfect match and the bright color stands out in the woods. I love everything about this shirt.... the stretchy fabric fits like a glove and is super comfy. Lightweight and quick- drying makes it feel like you are barely wearing anything at all. For reference, I am 5'5, 130lbs, slim build with a toned upper body and ordered a size small( my usual size) would love to see this made in more bright colors that stand out in the woods, not blend in

[ Purchased this item on sale for a great value. Love the fit and breathability of the material. I 've only worn it twice and have noticed that the top comes out of the wash looking brand new. I suspect that these tops will be very durable. I 'm just under 5', 125 pounds with a 36C bust; and, the medium fits perfect on all of the tops that I have purchased so far. I will likely buy only the Marmot brand for active tops going forward.

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.

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.

I have the Abisko wool shirt in the long and short sleeve models. When I had a bad fall in Argentina and broke my arm, I had on the long sleeve version. The arm was badly damaged, but the shirt still looks great. I look forward to wearing it when I get my arm out of the cast. Now I can wear only the ones with short sleeves and REALLY wish they came in other colors.

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.

[ My husband bought this shirt for my birthday and it ’s my favorite summer T- shirt. The material is soft and very figure flattering. I would highly recommend this shirt.

Backcountryluv
This shirt is great if you know what you are getting. It ’s very thin, which is great for staying cool, but it is also pretty delicate and will snag or rip if caught on Velcro or a branch. The material feels more similar to a very thin wool blend even though it has no wool in it. It is a slim fit. I normally wear a Medium and even a large in this shirt is quite snug. The care instructions say that it can ’ t be tumble dried…so hang dry only. That being said, it ’s cute and flattering if you like a slim fit.

Lillers
[ Recently returned from an extremely hot and humid vacation in Key West. Temps in the 90's. Dewpoint 75 or higher every day. Heat index of 110. I brought 2 of these Echo T- Shirts with me and lived in them. Very light and breathable and the only tops I had that did not stick to my hot and sweaty body. They wicked well and offer SPF protection. How this is accomplished in such lightweight material is a mystery to me. And no... they are not see- through like so many other lightweight options. I 'm a big fan of the modest v- neck these shirts have. I do wish they were and in or two shorter, but that's my personal preference. I highly recommend the Echo T- Shirt and the Echo Sun Hoody. Fantastic all around.

Sk8Mimi
[ I love the Outdoor Research Echo fabric even though some might say that it snags easily. My favorites are this t- shirt and the quarter- zip long sleeve. I live in the HOT desert and when I want to keep the sun from baking my skin, this is what I reach for. These shirts are SO thin that it's as close to wearing nothing that you can get. I also love them for travel as the t- shirt can pack into practicality a 2 inch cube! I could wash this shirt with a little soap in a sandwich- baggy and it would then dry in no time at all.

[ I usually wear a size L, but since this one has a slimmer fit, I went with XL — and it was the perfect choice! You don ’ t feel the cooling effect right away when you put it on, but during hikes, even when I sweat a lot, it dries quickly and really does feel cool. I ’ m going through menopause and often get hot flashes at night, so I also wear this as sleepwear. Even when I sweat, it never feels uncomfortable, which is amazing. Highly recommend! I ’ ll definitely be looking for the long- sleeve version next year.

5
jjcep
I purchased this hoodie for sun protection on a recent 9- day backpacking trip. I bought the light grey colour because I thought it could double as bug protection, since the mosquitoes were horrendous. I really liked how feather- light it was, it dried fast and the hood was great when the bugs were fierce. Furthermore, all the bug/blood/sweat stains cleaned up nicely after the trip and it looks good as new! As for durability and wind- proofness, I will bring it on my next two canoe trips this July and report back:)

Mollie L
Quite happy with this version of the Astroman! Still the same great sun protection and durability but the material seems lighter/faster drying somehow. Not sure how they managed that without sacrificing durability but so far it's held up beautifully! I 'm a sweaty hiker and it's pretty amazing how little sweat this shows and how fast it dries. This lil hoody is also extremely packable- have taken it on quite a few birding/hiking trips and long days bike- packing. I plan to take it to AZ this weekend for a friend's bday trip to really put it to the test( I 've been using it in Idaho thus far). Also- LOVE this pink color. I would buy anything and everything in this pink, so dang cute! I bought a Small and Medium and I 'm keeping the Medium- I 'm 5'4 '' and about 140- 150lbs( 30 '' waist and 40 '' low hip, aka most of my weight is in my booty/thighs). The small fit fine, but I prefer a looser fit for layering and breathability:) And because this is a sun shirt, looser fit is best for the fabric to keep out sun rays, anyways. The ONLY thing I would change about this: please move the pocket to the chest or somewhere more useful. It's on the right hip and goes backwards which is strange and not natural at all, I really dislike it. I 'd prefer it be on the chest( like the men's version) or even still on the hip but a zippered drop pocket( like the Freewheel Hoodie).

[ So I bought it. I love comfort, practicality, durability and of course to look amazing as well. This tee seems pretty great! I 'm glad I got two of them. I hope the material lasts well. It feels like it might snag or something but that could just be the nature of it. It's delightfully airy and cut pretty nice for a youthful and playful dresser. Merino clothes are so good, and it's getting a lot of wear. I 'm 5'4 '' maybe like 130 lbs. I find it highly flattering. Seemed to wash well but of course I did delicate and no dryer. Would be careful what I washed with. Ideally a bag for laundering seems smart.

Frequently Asked Questions For Hot Weather Hiking Shirt
When selecting a hot weather hiking shirt, look for lightweight and breathable materials that wick moisture away from the skin. Features like UV protection can also be beneficial for sun exposure. Additionally, consider shirts with ventilation options, such as mesh panels or strategic cutouts, to enhance airflow and keep you cool.
The best materials for hot weather hiking shirts typically include synthetic fabrics like polyester and nylon, which are known for their moisture-wicking properties. Natural fibers such as merino wool can also be effective due to their breathability and temperature regulation. Look for shirts that offer a blend of these materials for optimal comfort and performance.
Choosing the right fit for a hot weather hiking shirt is crucial for comfort and mobility. Opt for a relaxed or athletic fit that allows for a full range of motion without being too loose. Additionally, consider the length of the sleeves and the overall cut to ensure it suits your hiking style and layering preferences.
Yes, there are various styles of hot weather hiking shirts designed for different activities. For example, short sleeve options are great for day hikes, while tank tops may be preferred for more intense activities or when temperatures soar. Additionally, some shirts may feature added pockets or zippers for convenience during longer treks.
Moisture-wicking technology is extremely important in hot weather hiking shirts as it helps to keep you dry and comfortable. This technology draws sweat away from the skin to the fabric's surface, where it can evaporate quickly. Staying dry not only enhances comfort but also helps regulate body temperature during strenuous activities.
Many hot weather hiking shirts are designed with built-in sun protection features, such as UPF ratings that indicate their effectiveness against harmful UV rays. This is particularly beneficial for outdoor enthusiasts who spend extended periods in the sun. Look for shirts specifically labeled with sun protection to ensure you have an extra layer of defense while hiking.
