Mountain Hardwear Perpetual Long Sleeve T-shirt : For The Long Haul

Ok, I'm on the trail, weather has been bad, so no time to do laundry. Towards the end of the week, my buddies seem to be hiking farther apart. It's a fact of life on the trail that things don't smell quite as fresh after a few days.  

Mountain Hardware has found a way to solve this problem: their Perpetual Long Sleeve T. I put the shirt to the test recently, spending two days on a work crew helping build wildlife watering holes, and was very impressed by its performance. With cool mornings and warm days, a long sleeve T was just the ticket. It provided that little bit of extra protection, the fabric did a great job of wicking away moisture, and the anti-microbial features of the shirt worked wonders.

Like many MH shirts, this one is built with flat seams that really eliminate chafing issues, especially when carrying packs, tools, or heavy loads. The shirt is made of 100 percent polyester in a durable knit design that held up well in the field without snagging. At only 6 ounces, it's easy in a backpack, and with it's mini-stripe pattern, looks good enough to wear as a casual shirt with jeans.

The Perpetual T comes in both men's and women's sizes and in a variety of colors. The women's style has a henley-style snap closure.

Bottom Line: The Mountain Hardwear Perpetual T is one of those great basic items that every outdoorsman (and outdoorswoman) should have. It's lightweight, durable construction and odor-inhibiting space age fabric makes this shirt a fantastic trail companion.--E. C. (April 07)
