Looking to swap out some clothing for lighter choices. I feel I can go lighter with my long sleeve shirt. Right know it is a nylon camp shirt. Can anyone recommend a lighter long sleeve shirt
Thanks
Go with a set of arm warmers. They are available at any bike store or REI. They will weigh btwn 1.5 to 3 oz and you can skip the long sleeve shirt at 7-10 oz. They are great when you step off on cool mornings because you can peel and stash them quickly without stopping. You can roll them down or up to adjust your temp too.
Arc'teryx Phase SL crew or zip. I have the crew, favorite 3-season backpacking shirt (I only wear LS shirts, don't like short sleeve shirts). Weighs less than 4 ounces.
on sale for $25 but if you log in on the site and do a review they will instantly send you a 20% off coupon to your email making it $20 and it weighs 4oz
