Review:
Similar to the Kathmandu Hiking Trousers, this hiking shirt is made out of a light and comfortable fabric that is good to wear even on hot and sunny days for sun protection. At the same time the shirt keeps you reasonable protected from cold wind as well (i.e. great for typical situations where you hike into the early evening, its getting a bit cool but you can't be bothered stopping and putting some warmer layer on). It is perfect to quickly wash out in a river or other water source at the end of a long hiking day and it will be dry by the morning.
Pros:
- Light and comfortable to wear
- Excellent sun protection
- The shirt feels light and cool even on hot days
- Provides reasonable good protection from cold wind
Cons:
- None other than some brands charge a fortune for the same product...
Comment:
Would definitely buy these types of shirts in the future (in fact I own multiple of those). Best thing to hike in moderate to warm climates.
