Hi there,

I wanted to get some Marmot ThermalClime Sport SS Crew Powerdry shirts:
http://marmot.com/products/details/thermalclime-sport-ss-crew

However, it seems that they are not available anymore, couldn't find anything.
Does anyone know good, lightweight alternatives that are maybe available in Europe?

The Patagonia version: http://www.patagonia.com/us/product/mens-capilene-2-baselayer-lightweight-t-shirt?p=44915-1
Has rather bad reviews..

Thanks a lot,
Christoph

Well I wanted to try some more powerdry shirts (I have old Marmot ones) as they for me are best to wear if it's hot and I sweat a lot. All other polyester shirts are woven to dense and don't feel really nice.. so I'd like to get powerdry again.

I'm of course open to other shirts, but I returned many polyester shirts recently :)

I cannot find any on the Millet homepage, it seems they have removed them?

You know that with Millet they are called 'Carline' ? Their lightest Carline is currently not on their site as they are already in fall/winter-mode.

I happen to have some Powerdry-shirts which also see use in summer and while they are ok, I have others (nothing special) that do feel cooler in warm to hot weather.

really not that easy to find powerdry shirts at the moment it seems, millet is not available currently, mammut seems to have discontinued most of their shirts.. difficult times, as if it is winter already :D

you base yourself on the brandwebsite to know which models have Powerdry or do you know that already ?

for which brand? I searched google for the different brands and polartec powerdry, mammut had a couple of them but most of them are discontinued, millet is in winter mode already

I have a lot of workbooks here and maybe there's something in those. But have patience because it takes some time to go through the likely candidates.

Can't help with specific shirts, because Millet apparently has different models out in Japan (here they do call the fabric Powerdry).
Patagonia has just renewed their line of base layers. Again I don't know in Europe, but they are already available here in Japan.
Might be worth looking into?

A very great other shirt with the thinnest Powerdry-like fabric I know are the Outdoor Research Echo shirts.

Woubeir can probably be more specific/on point with European info?
Good luck with it.

sure, I'd like to give it a try but didn't find a lot of it at the usual brands

While not branded PowerDry, the Patagonia ForeRunner shirts are awesome. They have the same weave/knit? as branded PowerDry. They're reallllly light and perfect for warm weather. Durability is suspect and snagging is possible. Mine have lasted very well though.
