Pros | Exceptional temperature regulation, highly breathable, quick-drying, natural odor control | Best-in-class comfort, packable, fast drying | Super light, great in hot conditions, doesn't sag when wet | Extremely breathable, great fit, reflective logos | Ultra lightweight, insanely breathable, super fast drying |
Cons | Sags when saturated, warm in extremely hot conditions, expensive | Less thermal regulation, lacks rear reflective, expensive | Doesn't retain heat in cold conditions, minimal reflective patches | High water absorption, slower dry time, less packable | Less durable, minimal thermal regulation |
Bottom Line | Superior temperature regulation makes this the most versatile shirt we tested, perfect for trail running | With a relaxed, athletic fit, this is the most comfortable shirt for all-day use | Our favorite shirt for running in hot and humid conditions since this model's material sags less and doesn't absorb as much water | With maximum breathability, this shirt is best for hot dry climates where evaporative cooling is needed | If you often find yourself in extremely hot conditions this is the shirt for you due to its insane breathability and fast drying time |
