Long or short sleeves, one shirt.
A nylon hiking shirt with sleeves that zip off above the elbow. Start a cool morning in long sleeves and switch to short sleeves when the afternoon warms up, without packing a second top. Good for hikes, fishing trips and travel.
Good for, and not made for.
Good for: walks, hikes, fishing and travel on days that start cool and get warm. The nylon dries quickly, and the chest pockets keep small things handy.
Not made for: rain or cold on its own. The maker doesn't say the fabric is waterproof, so bring a rain jacket on wet days.
What you get.
- Sleeves that zip off above the elbow
- Quick-drying nylon
- Collar and button front
- Chest pockets
- Olive, grey, khaki or black, sizes S to 4XL
Keep both sleeves together.
When you zip off the sleeves, put both in the same pocket of your pack so they're ready when it cools down. To choose a size, compare the size guide with a shirt that fits you well, laid flat.
