I recently picked up a short and long sleeve version of this shirt and wore one of them every day on a month long trip down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. The new bamboo fabric is exceptionally soft and of course stretchy and quick drying. They were the perfect layer under my thick skin shirt or drysuit liner and were a lot easier to wash and dry along the way. I also wore one on a couple quick hikes and it was plenty breathable. Kudos to IR for this great new fabric. Can’t wait to use these shirts by themselves this summer!
