20 Best Tops For Hiking (2022 Updated)

My husband has this shirt in the light blue and loves it so much he got it in the teal. It?s perfect for travel as it resists wrinkles, can be washed in the sink and dries quickly, looks dressy but also can be worn for a casual look.

He wore this in Jamaica, which is hot and humid and it kept him cool. The fit is slim, which he prefers.

Excellent construction with ample venting making it very useful for the hot days of Summer. The fabric is lightweight and very durable, even stain-resistant to a huge degree. Also, the preponderance of pockets is unbelievable.

I’ll probably buy another one! Only one note – it is well-fitted; if you want it to drape, order a size larger.

This shirt is supposed to have a “rolled-up feature” and so I just bought one. But I don’t see a button on the sleeve or any other way that this “feature” is actually implemented. I actually can’t find a picture anywhere of it with rolled up sleeves.

So, I have to wait until I get it, but it seems that this shirt doesn’t really have a rolled up feature at all now, does it? If that is the case then I will have to return it because this is false advertising and because it will be much less useful in diverse situations if the sleeves don’t have a roll-up option that works.

;-(.

The quality of this shirt is outstanding and the sun protection is what I like most of this shirt. The quality and look of this shirt made it my choice to wear to an outdoor wedding. Sharp and clean lines and great sun protection.

This is my go to shirt.

I’m obsessed with this!!! The airflow of this shirt is incredible, I’m a bigger guy and it fits comfortably! It’s true to size and I recommend getting one!

Very light and breezy! Perfect for summer days and nights too. I purchased this as a gift and he loved it !

Was looking for a Sherpa Fleece lined hoodie for layering in cool to cold temps. The Scandia Woods has worked great. Have worn it under a jacket, for firewood hauling, and yard and garden cleanup in late fall and early winter.

Having no fleece in the sleeves is a plus – quick on and off, plenty of arm and shoulder flexibility, and less likelihood to overheat when active. The Scandia Woods is longer than some hoodies, but not a problem – just extends the protective coverage.

Zipper works well.

The Scandia Woods sherpa-lined fleece hoodie is true to size. It has a comfortable cozy lined bodice and hoodie too. The hoodie did not shrink or shed after laundering; high quality fabric and a neutral color palette.

We worn the hoodies for our southern winter indoors (65 degree temperature) and outdoors (30-65 degree temperature). It is quite warm to take a nap in or sleep the night away. Definitely will purchase more as needed.

It’s comfortable, the material is soft, feels sturdy enough to last for a few years, and gives me the level of warmth I want at this time of year. I took off one star only because I would have preferred the color to be a little darker level of navy blue.

And I haven’t had or used it long enough to have washed it yet, so I can’t comment of how it will look and feel afterwards. But other than that I’m quite happy with the purchase.

I’m 6′ tall and rail thin but wear medium in nearly every kind of shirt. After buying my first Singi in medium I absolutely loved it, but it was just a bit baggy. I bought another color in small and it’s perfect.

I now have 3 of these shirts and they have become my go-to’s for just about every activity. The G1000 material is nearly bulletproof when it comes to what it will put up with. If you’re waffling about spending the money on one or two of these, buy it! You will not regret it.

I have tons of button-down shirts and few of them ever get worn anymore. In fact I’m thinking about getting one in the dark olive. But remember, size down.

Top notch FJ quality as usual. I wear an XL since I have long arms and broad shoulders. I’m 185cm. This piece offers some wind performance, durability, and ventilation. A solid layer that provides jacket-like protection without all the nonsense of a jacket.

I use this for hiking in all-weather (except summer), splitting wood, archery. It’s great!.

The Fjallraven Singi is my all time travel and hiking shirt in temperate climates between 5 and 23 Celsius. The material is a bit hard when brand new but after washing it gets better and better all the time.

It is highly breathable, it doesn’t stink easily, it is wind-resistant and it dries out quickly. So you can wear this shirt on its own or underneath a jacket equally well. The sleeves are a tight fit over the elbows but the roll-up feature button is perfect.

The chest pockets fit my passport and boarding pass. It is comfortable and fits me well. The dusk color is absolutely fantastic and it can easily go well with a diversity of colors in terms of pants or an overall jacket.

I love this shirt so much that I can’t wait for other color options and will buy at least one more, if not two. Finally, I have other garments with the G1000 material from Fjallraven and already know that a shirt with this quality of production, made of this material, will last for many years to come.

In short, it is not cheap but you get what you pay for – i. e. the best travel and hiking shirt for temperate climates!.

So if you want to stand out like a bright caution cone on the road, then this shirt is for you. However, if you are looking for a coral colored top you may be disappointed when the bright, neon top arrives instead.

This top is not coral, it is super bright and rather tacky. When I am traveling I try to blend in, not stand out like a sore thumb. The tees are too bright. Change the color description in the listing to match the item.

I ordered this top in the peach color. Wore it once and washed it. Now it has two small holes in the front. Poor fabric or poor construction. Very, very disappointed. I should have been able to wear this top more than once.

I did not snag it on anything. I am sure I won’t hear from you but it would be nice to get my money back.

This shirt is not up to Columbia’s standards. First, it is not very long, so don’t buy this shirt if you don’t want to be constantly pulling it down all day. Also, I sized up on this shirt based on some other reviews and the fit is okay, but of course there could be two more inches added to the length and I would have given it four stars.

Overall, not impressed and won’t be in my regular rotation of shirts.

Worn once, washed once and seams on each cuff just fell away. It’s a gorgeous shirt and my husband loved it (very unfortunately)

As always top quality. I suggest that it should be recommended for autumn, too hot for summer hiking

Very good quality and well-fitting

I am an executive at a large firm and also a SAR (search and rescue) volunteer. Those are generally not compatible. Nobody wants to see a CEO walk in with trail pants and a wicking shirt and nobody wants to see their rescuer in khakis and a button down shirt.

Well, this solved both. I can go from the boardroom to the woods as the shirt it, well, stylish. It also works great as a travel shirt and never wrinkles. I just hope they have more colors in the future.

Great fit. Bought it for my husband and he loved it. He isn’t tall, and many shirts end up fitting a bit too long. But this one was just right. Also feel of material is great. Only thing is we got one that actually has the white “the north face” and I actually thought it was all black (image shows all black).

Small thing, but still only reason why it’s not 5 stars.

Really nice looking design and soft to the touch fabric. Versatile … dress it up or dress it down. Outstanding regardless. I get compliments constantly … kind of annoying. In like with this shirt!

I bought three of these in different colors – to be worn on vacation, for hiking, being active etc. Overall I really like them. The material is lightweight and the back detail is flattering and a nice change from other active tops.

Two of the tops fit well and were true to size although I do agree the arm holes are slightly large. The third tank had to be returned as it was too tight across the back and chest. Definitely a sizing/quality control error.

I recommend and I would definitely buy these again, especially if Columbia makes more in different colors and even some graphic prints would be nice as well.

I don’t love how these look on me but after wearing it for an entire workday, I am pleased with it and will be ordering more. it’s cooler than my previous cotton tank, it evaporates sweat away so it never ~feels~ wet, even when I’m pouring sweat.

not clingy, the gusset in the back ensures it doesnt bind across my back when I’m bent over working on a deck or the ground. arm holes are comfortable.

I bought this as a layer for hiking. So far I’ve only worn it when working out, but I really liked how loose it was, without being super baggy. It’s very comfortable. It covers well without having a super high neckline or tight arm holes.

The fabric is very cool as well, so I think it will work well for hiking in the heat.

I’ve been a customer of Columbia for 15+ years, and have been satisfied with the quality of the products until now. I recently ordered 4 Thistletown Hills shirts, and have problems with 2 of them. The shirt that is supposed to be “Collegiate Navy Heather” is solid navy blue – no heather.

They need to change the color description. Another shirts stitching is coming undone. This shirt probably won’t last long. Since I’ve opened the packages that the shirts came in, Columbia won’t accept a return.

Get it together Columbia, you’re better than this.

This shirt is very comfortable. The fabric is soft. It is a great long sleeve T-shirt for lounging or layering. The body and arms fit well. The body is not baggy and the arm length is good. I like the color too.

I’d recommend this shirt.

I love this shirt!!! It is very well cut and of high quality. What I love about it most is how soft it is! It is so comfy and warm. The only negative is the dye on the garment wears off. It stained some of my clothes the first time I washed it.

Be careful!.

This sweatshirt/sweater hybrid is warmer than it seems. I love the material. it’s super soft. I also like the look of it. My office is pretty casual and it’s good for a Friday casual. The only thing I would change is the removal of the Hi-Tech log on the shoulder.

This shirt hangs well, the fabric is comfortable, and it’s sturdy. The snap buttons are great. The fit is true to size. I thought the price was high for a shirt of this sort, so I waited until a 20% sale came around.

I still think the price was high, though I think the quality was excellent. Note that this Abisko Trekking shirt is different than the Abisko Hiking shirt, which has regular buttons (not snap), and as far as I can tell, the cut and fabric are also different.

All in all, a favorite warm weather shirt. Two thumbs up.

Great summer shirt. Stretchy in all directions. Extremely breathable. A unicorn in the respect that it is a fjallraven shirt that actually fits true to size. 🙂 Liked it so much I bought a second one.

Both on sale. I just can’t justify full price fjallraven products.

I got this shirt to ride on my bike. I wanted something that was airy and has sun protection and it’s working out great. Runs big which is understandable because it’s meant to have plenty of ventilation.

Might actually give this to a friend and buy a smaller size, but would definitely buy again!.

Material and quality seems great even the features. The style is nice too. I agree with what other people say about the sizing. I’m a small person 5 ft 1in and 115 lbs and I got a small. It works for me but if I wasn’t that small it def would’ve been tight around the shoulders and lats.

The lower part of the shirt is huge though. Made for a huge beer gut or perhaps if I was pregnant idk. I do love the color of dusted sky and will most likely be wearing this a lot with a sports bra under and unbuttoned to prevent my arms from getting sun burned.

My wife has been searching for a shirt that she could wear in the summer to shield from the sun while not overheating. This shirt works perfectly, a loose fit with ventilation in the back. Sunscreen is essential, but a shirt like this limits the amount she has to wear, and the less chemicals we coat our bodies with the better!.

Have worn it alone or over a tshirt. Love being able to roll up the sleeves. Can be worn casually or going out. I have a grey and blue one and would buy again. Keeps you warm or cool depending on temperatures.

These are very poor quality. After a single wash strings from seams were hanging off more than one foot long. After two washes the decaling begins to delaminate. Finally the back rides up exposing your bare skin when you lift weights or ride a bike.

I’m a size 8 on top and bought this in a size S and it fits perfectly. Only downside to this top is it creases so bad! But nothing a quick iron doesn’t fix. Love the colour so much, perfect for summer with some black trousers.

I am really happy with my purchase from Columbia. I ordered this T-Shirt online and it came really promptly! The size is the right fit and I can wear it to the Gym, around the house or as an under t-shirt in winter.

I am a huge fan of OR clothing and a lot of my active and adventure wear is OR but this particular shirt isn’t the best. The negative is that it picks up body odor and it’s hard to get the smell out.

I wore this on one, short bike ride and it smelled when I took it off and I had to spray Simple Green on the armpits to get the smell out. I don’t have to do this with any of my other activewear. I do multi-day hiking and bike trips and I wouldn’t consider taking this shirt with me.

I like the fit and the feel of the fabric but not it’s lack of odor repellancey. The snaps are a little hard to get snapped but they hold once they are done. Maybe if this shirt was offered with Microban, it would be a good item for outdoor enthusiasts.

I’ve worn this shirt a few times now – kayaking and on a 4-day hiking trip. It was extremely comfortable, added a little warmth when needed but kept me from getting sunburned. It does gap pretty substantially between snaps however, giving people a pretty clear view in your shirt.

Awkward. And a large area was extremely roughed up/snagged simply from natural arm motion while hiking and wearing a pack the first day I wore it. I was disappointed by this. It doesn’t take away from the functionality of the shirt, but it looks a mess now after just one use.

I previously purchased the short sleeve version of this shirt, and hadn’t climbed in it before I bought this long sleeve. As a regular ole shirt, I love this shirt to death – it’s super comfy and breathable, and wicks away sweat/cools really nicely when there’s a breeze.

The biggest problem is that it’s supposed to be a climbing/outdoorsy shirt, and yet, the first time I wore my short sleeve climbing, the entire front started to pull/pill/get fuzzy from scraping against the rock, and even when I had just worn it hiking, the fabric started to pull.

Luckily I realized before I wore this one climbing, and it’s in good shape because I’m protecting it, but I shouldn’t have to baby my outdoor shirts!.

I got the dark gray and the plaid on sale. I though both would be nice shirts for dinner and church. Maybe work or something casual. The plaid pattern is very nice and almost makes up for the lack of stretch and tight shoulders.

The solid dark gray really shows how basic the material is. The collar won’t hold itself up. Could have got cheaper shirt with better durability.

This shirt provides exactly what you’d expect from a Fjallraven lightweight hiking short sleeve shirt. It’s made from a lightweight, moisture wicking material that’s comfortable yet strong enough for the occasional snag and scratch.

It has UV sun protection and vents in the upper back area to help with air flow/ventilation. Front zip pocket is good for carrying something small such a credit card, drivers license, etc. but that’s about it without looking like you’re walking around with a bulge on your chest.

I would warn however that this shirt runs small so you definitely want to go up a size and if you’re one of those men who are larger/wider at the chest/shoulder area you may consider going up two sizes.

The t-shirt is very comfortable on the skin. If you use a non-flagrance deodorant, you can definitely wear it for several days in a row. I wore it for maximum of 4 days while hiking, through rain and after 4 days it was not that bad.

But I changed it since I had 2 more identical t-shirts. The t-shirt also dries up pretty quickly, which is quite impressive. However, I take one start out because the t-shirt feels too short. Would have appreciate it if it would have been a bit longer.

This is an excellent walking T Shirt. It is good value for money. It keeps you warm and wicks sweat away from the body. It is good when travelling light as you can wear more than a day without any odour issues.

I wash it using a wool soap on a wool wash in the washing machine. Some of the fabric is bubbling a bit as it has an acrylic content but not too much so far. It is on the small size so if you want a loose fit choose a size larger.

I am a medium in decathlon sizes, orded these as a Large for a lose fit and they are tight. Very small compared to normal decathlon sizes as a Large is already one size up from my normal medium and still tight!.

It’s a shirt, very comfortable, whilst not able to keep you cool, it does get the sweat away from the body quite quickly and dries very quickly. The only real criticism is that I have found no way of securing the collar, which means in windy conditions it tends to hit you in the face.

Bought my first one of these whilst traveling in India, a very versatile shirt for travel, especially the hidden pocket. When I got home I started wearing it for walking & found it perfect fro changeable weather.

Have just invested in a second one as I like wearing it so much.

Excellent quality and features. However the fit wasn’t right for me. Sleeves were far, far too long and as there wasn’t an extra button to adjust the cuffs. As I wanted the option to wear it in that way unfortunately had to return.

See no problem if the fit is right for you and/or worn as a short sleeved shirt.

I love working out in these tops. They have other colours and I already have a few. Some of my workout leggings are not too high waisted and I like modest coverage when i work out especially when you have some flab to hide.

These tops do the job better than any tops i have. Perfect length, great colour, looks cute and very practical as there is mesh under the arms as well.

The materials are very nice n smooth. Repeat buying n very happy that they listened to us. They have come up with so many colours n l have all the colors. Given to my friends as gift n also recommended to my friends n their comments are 👍 n very happy wearing it😊.

Since I wear 2XL, I always have to choose Decathlon. I have 3 of this t-shirts. Always wear them as base layer when hiking. Very soft, easy to move, sweat dries pretty fast, and most of all, very cheap.

The expedition merino 235 hoodie is a great addition to my collection of warm clothing. The material is super soft and smooth (no itch at ALL!) while keeping warm without losing the ability to breathe.

Merino is simply the best! Fit is great (180cm, 78kg, size M). Already looking forward to my next purchase from Devold 🙂 Keep up the good work!.

pleasant warm shirt for men; but wool is sensitive due to strong strain!

Excellent, super warm and comfortable

I love the Trovat Light! It’s lightweight for warmer temps, and has some stretch to allow freedom of movement. I got it for work, but I also wear it out hiking with my dogs. I got both colors available in my size, but hope other colors will be available soon.

I will buy all the colors! The size is true to all my other Mammut shirts.

Very airly and light. Might feel a bit hot because of its material but easy to dry. Suitable for summer trekking.

Love this shirt! Fits beautifully and so comfortable!! Going to get a lot of wear out for this one.
