Which t-shirt should you choose for summer hiking?

Choose a lightweight, quick-drying style: the women’s ELENA (60 g) or men’s EIGER (80 g, UPF 40+ sun protection). In merino wool, the women’s AIGLIERE (90 g) and men’s CLAPIER (115 g) help limit odours over several days.

Merino or synthetic t-shirt for hiking?

Merino for multi-day treks: it regulates temperature and naturally resists odours. Synthetics for intense activity and warm weather: the CimaDry VENTURI dries up to 10 times faster than standard cotton.

Which long-sleeved t-shirt is best for hiking in cool weather?

The VENTURI LS, available for men (190 g) and women (135 g), works for both hiking and travel. For merino, choose the men’s CHARVIN (160 g) or women’s ASPRES (125 g). In cold weather, there’s the ALBAN (210 g, thumbholes) or ARGENTIERES (240 g, zip neck), both men’s styles.

Are cotton/polyester T-shirts suitable for hiking?

For a stroll or an easy walk, yes: they’re made for hiking and everyday wear, with soft cotton, CimaFresh anti-odour treatment and UV protection up to UPF 30. For a sustained climb, choose a quick-drying synthetic style or a merino t-shirt instead.
