Love the fabric and fit. Large is my usual size( 12 or L in US Sizing) and fit perfectly. I have tried other brands in similar fabrics, but they were clingy and uncomfortable. This fabric has a soft interior that is n't cold or slinky feeling. I got the Port color and it's rich, not shiny. I wish this shirt was offered in the same color in long sleeve for sun protection. The large measures 22 inches across the chest from bottom of sleeve seam, and 23 inches length from shoulder at collar seam to hem. Perfect length for me and I wo n't have to tuck it in but it is n't an unflattering cropped style.

This is a great top that keeps you cool. Washes well. I also like that it does n't hang so low on your bottom. More colors please.

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

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.

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.

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.

[ 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!

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.

My husband needed shirts with SPF protection so he can enjoy time outside. I checked the website and saw Dicks carried several brands so we went and found the Columbia brands shirts. He picked out 2 and wore them during our vacation at the beach last week. My husband liked the fit and wore them at the pool and out during the day. He really liked the shirts and was pleased with the price too.

[ Crazy lightweight tee perfect for hot days on the trail. I now own several of these. The first two were bought in size medium but they ’ re little tight fitting so I bought a couple more in size large. I ’ m 5 ’ 9 ” 180 lbs with really broad shoulders. Only wish is that they would remove the logo from the front of the shirt to make it look less like a workout tee so I can wear it out on the town.
5
Chad
I bought a couple of these for running and hiking in the humid SE summer. They have performed perfectly for that purpose and are great when paired with the super comfy Astro Shorts. I also wear a couple of Patagonia Capilene Lightweight short sleeve shirts, and I would put the Echo up against the Capilene; they are very similar in terms of fit, performance and weight. The Echo comes just a tad further below my waist line than the Capilene. Fit is great. I am 5'10 '' 165 and the medium is perfect.

Frequently Asked Questions For Quick Dry Hiking Shirts
Quick dry hiking shirts are designed to wick moisture away from the skin and dry rapidly, making them ideal for outdoor activities. They are typically made from synthetic materials that enhance breathability and comfort during hikes. This feature helps keep you cool and dry, especially in warm or humid conditions.
Quick dry hiking shirts are often made from lightweight synthetic fabrics such as polyester or nylon, which are known for their moisture-wicking properties. Some shirts may also incorporate blends with spandex for added stretch and comfort. These materials not only dry quickly but also resist odors and provide UV protection.
While quick dry hiking shirts are excellent for warm and humid weather due to their moisture management, they can also be layered for cooler conditions. Many shirts feature long sleeves or additional insulation options, making them versatile for various climates. However, it's essential to consider the overall weather and choose appropriate layers accordingly.
When selecting a quick dry hiking shirt, consider factors such as fit, fabric type, and additional features like UV protection or ventilation. A good fit allows for ease of movement, while breathable materials enhance comfort during physical activity. Look for shirts with features like mesh panels or strategic seams for improved airflow.
Yes, quick dry hiking shirts are versatile and can be used for various outdoor activities beyond hiking, such as camping, fishing, or traveling. Their moisture-wicking properties and comfort make them suitable for any situation where you may sweat or encounter wet conditions. They are also great for casual wear during warm weather.
Quick dry hiking shirts outperform traditional cotton shirts in moisture management and drying speed. While cotton absorbs moisture and can become heavy and uncomfortable, quick dry fabrics wick sweat away and dry quickly, keeping you comfortable during physical activities. Additionally, quick dry shirts often offer better breathability and durability for outdoor use.
