Collared or button down climbing shirt
|
Another vote for the OR Astroman. I have 4 of them. (So maybe that's 4 more votes?) |
|
Thanks all. Given the strong response, I'll give the OR Astroman a try. |

Regarding the fit of the astroman: medium fits me great, not snug nor baggy. Very stretchy and light, total freedom of movement. I hate the harness lift-out too, and have not that issue with these shirts, they are long enough to stay tucked. Also, stank factor: I’m always hesitant to where synth against my skin, maybe traumatized by long expeditions with capileene before I discovered merino. But the astroman isn’t too bad. I I mean I still want to wash it after a day of sweating in it, but at least I can wear it home without smelling like a wet dead dog rolled in rubber cement... |

Hopefully I picked out colors that won't match you Daniel so we can avoid that "team sport" look we get out again. I opted for medium but hopefully on me it'll be just a "trim" fit as opposed to the underarmor/icebreaker fit which is somewhere just short of either wetsuit or leotard. |

Kühl Infinite is my sending shirt. I also really like my Club Ride Simply West, it's more stretchy and breathable, but Kühl looks the best. |
|
OR Echo hoody is awesome. I also have an exofficio button down that is long and stays tucked in to my harness. |
|
I haven't climbed with it, mostly because I don't want to ruin it, but I love my Kuhl Renegade short sleeve button down collared shirt. SOOOO light, breathable, with a good amount of stretch. I've definitely considered wearing it climbing but I have so many ratty T shirts for that. |

im a ginger, and i have two shirts I love for the sun. These ortovox wool don't stink, and are light enough to wear on a hot day. Also makes a nice looking base layer on hut trips. https://www.ortovox.com/us/shop/mountainwear-men/mountain-shirts/ |

It works alright here in NC, but it really shined when I lived in Moab (it works better with dry air and no sweat). The material is super light, which is great for staying cool but it can be fragile. Be careful in anything bigger than a finger crack. A chimney would absolutely destroy it. |

Got my OR Astroman in the mail yesterday and gotta say it's nice. Good soft lightweight stretchy material and absolute freedom of movement. Sorta feels like a silk shirt that might actually breathe instead of stick to you when you start sweating. I am a little concerned about wear since it's so thin (will avoid chimneying in it I think!) |

You'll definitely want to skip neck day at the gym. |

I heard they changed the fit of the Astroman, can anyone confirm or deny? They also eliminated the best color, although it looks like this year has a few options more interesting than dark blue and dark brown. |
