How to choose your hiking t-shirt?

Choosing a hiking t-shirt largely depends on two factors: the intensity of the activity and the outside temperature.

For intense efforts, opt for a synthetic fabric t-shirt. These t-shirts are lightweight, breathable and quick-drying, making them ideal for wicking moisture away from your body and keeping you dry throughout your hike. For less intense activities, t-shirts in natural materials such as cotton are very comfortable and may be sufficient. For a multi-day hiking trip, a merino wool t-shirt will provide 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 sleeveless tops or short-sleeved t-shirts in synthetic fabrics, and don't forget to apply sunscreen to exposed areas to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. However, for hikes in cold weather, choose a long-sleeved merino wool t-shirt or a model with a brushed interior for extra warmth, and follow the three-layer system for optimal insulation.

The three-layer technique for hiking in cool weather

When it's cold, it's essential to layer your clothing properly to stay warm while avoiding overheating. Here's how to go about it:

• First layer: Opt for a thermal undershirt with long sleeves. The latter should be capable of wicking away 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 even remove your fleece during intense efforts.
• Third layer: Wear a waterproof and breathable jacket to protect against wind and rain. This outer layer should be sufficiently breathable to allow moisture to escape, while keeping you dry and comfortable.

What are the differences between our men's and women's models?

Our men's and women's hiking t-shirts are designed to meet the specific needs of each body shape, with cuts and colours to match, without compromising on technical performance. For women, in addition to the sports t-shirt, choosing a good sports bra is crucial. It should offer adequate support, be comfortable and capable of effectively wicking away moisture to prevent irritation and chafing.

Technical hiking t-shirts

T-shirts, sweatshirts and polos are all crafted with the greatest care and the finest materials, using the latest technology and technical fabrics.
