    As I first read this, I assumed you were looking for something like a stretch base layer. Why not go the base layer route and then supplement that with a trim fit runners wind shell?

    And that assumes it is for backcountry wear— or are you looking for something more travel oriented?

    While you're looking at Arcteryx, you might take a look at the Motus and Accelerator LS T's. Motus is lighter, SPF 25, breathes extremely well, and dries quickly. It's a great Sierra backcountry shirt, and also presentable enough for casual wear in town.

    Any number of lightweight wicking shirts will do, so I'll make your life more difficult and add another option to the pot.

    I was recently given the Mountain Hardwear Way2Cool tshirt from a friend and ran a really long run in this shirt this past Saturday with a nice mix of heat and cool weather. Perfect conditions for testing a lightweight active shirt. I was very impressed with the shirt and how it worked during our outing. The shirt uses MHW's new fabric called the "CoolQ Zero". I don't know what all went into the design of the shirt, but I do know that it wicks moisture admirably and the fit is very much athletic without being too "techy". The colors come in obnoxious orange, belligerent blue, or wanker white. I would say it's most comparable to Patagonia's Capilene 1, but this shirt feels cooler to the touch and doesn't get as warm in the sun as Capilene 1 has for me in the past.

    +1 on the Golite Wildwood trail running shirt. Excellent stretch, incredible breathability.

    though all the running and hiking base layers look good (for a BL I just use my STP redram SS wool v-necks ..cheap!)

    travel-oriented is more of what i am looking for, something with a collar that could pass as a regular shirt.

    I own a couple of way2 cool t's and just (yesterday) ordered another-I'm using them for warm weather running and not another shirt in my quiver (and a have a few) wicks as well or feels as cool- they machine wash/dry up great; it's a very good t-shirt for warm weather aerobic activities

    Look at outdoorsy retailers like basspro and cabellas. Usually they'll have something applicable in an outdated color on clearance.
