Hey guys, I've been hiking lately at the Alps in temps ranging from 30 to 60 degrees and used a bottom-up Columbia shirt for my hiking, but felt it wasn't warm enough. I'm looking for a solid, lightweight, breathable base layer, suitable for mentioned conditions with a released loose fit around arm pits. I saw many next-to-skin base layers are too snug in armpits area. hate that. Also, I'm 5.9' & 160 lb with chest around 39~ inches, so if you can recommend a size to your model I'd appreciate that. Thanks!

i've tried a couple of different shirts for similar conditions and have settled on the long sleeve nike dri-fit legend shirt in white. the white can get a little dingy, but when you've peeled-down to your base layer because you are baking in the sun, you want that shirt to be white, trust me, it makes a difference.
Thanks Richard. Will check that out. how's breathability? Also can you compare it to Arcteryx stuff (Phase SL / Motus etc)?
