Mountain Hardwear Duration S/S T-Shirt
- Details
Backpacking in the summer, regardless of where you go, means one thing: sweat. In the past the standard polyester shirts I’ve worn have had a major problem with odor. I really like the Merino Wool Patagonia shirts, but had concerns about their durability. Enter the Mountain Hardwear Duration S/S shirt.
This shirt features a wicking anti-microbial fabric that’s very fast drying. This means less time for the sweat to soak in, and less odor. On our Raggeds Adventure, hiking to nearly 11,000 feet really put this shirt to the test. I’m glad to say that after three days of sweat & dirt, this shirt was still acceptable in a local restaurant in Gunnison.
Another great feature of this shirt is that the bottom seams are rotated toward the front, so your pack stays more comfortable. They’re also flat knitted, which is less likely to dig in to your skin. The fabric is pick-resistant, so even after quite a bit of off-trail trekking there were very few snags and the shirt held up great.
