How to choose your hiking t-shirt?
Choosing a hiking t-shirt depends largely on two factors: the intensity of the activity and the outside temperature.
For intense efforts, opt for a t-shirt in synthetic fabric. These t-shirts are lightweight, breathable and dry quickly, making them ideal for wicking moisture away from your body and keeping you dry throughout your hiking. For less intense activities, t-shirts made from natural materials like cotton are very comfortable and can be sufficient. For a multi-day hiking trip, a t-shirt in merino wool will offer good thermal regulation and naturally resist odours, allowing you to wear it for several days in a row without any inconvenience.
During the warmest months, opt for tank tops or t-shirts with short sleeves in synthetic materials, and don't forget to apply sunscreen to exposed areas to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. On the other hand, for hiking in cold weather, choose a long-sleeve t-shirt in merino wool or a model with a brushed interior for extra warmth, and follow the three-layer system for optimal insulation.
The 3-layer technical for hiking in cool weather
When it's cold, layering your clothes properly is essential to stay warm while avoiding overheating. Here's how:
- First layer: Opt for a thermal base layer top with long sleeves. The latter should be capable of wicking moisture to keep you dry.
- Second layer: Add a fleece for thermal insulation. Depending on the intensity of the activity and the temperature, you can choose a different weight, or remove your fleece during intense efforts.
- Third layer: Wear a waterproof and breathable jacket to protect you protect against wind and rain. This outer layer must be breathable enough to allow moisture to escape, while keeping you dry and comfortable.
What are the differences between our men's and women's models?
Our hiking t-shirts for men and women are designed to meet the specific needs of each body shape, with tailored cuts and colours, without compromising on technicality and performance. For women, in addition to the t-shirt for sport, choosing a good sports bra is crucial. It should provide adequate support, be comfortable and capable of efficiently wicking moisture to avoid irritation and chafing.
