Outdoor t-shirts and jerseys
For an outing where you'll sweat a lot, opt for a quick-drying material: our outdoor t-shirts, tops and vests come in short sleeves, long sleeves or sleeveless, with or without zips. They're perfect for hiking, climbing and cycling. Filter by gender, style and size.
Which top to choose for an outdoor activity?
The right top depends on the effort and temperature. For a fast walk or a bike ride, a lightweight synthetic material wicks away sweat. For climbing or cooler days, a long-sleeve t-shirt protects the skin from the sun and friction against the rock. A tank top is reserved for hot days. For a runner heading out on a hike, a running t-shirt often does the trick, provided you bring a warm layer for stops. On a bike, a fitted jersey with rear pockets keeps bars and your phone handy.
Sleeves, zip and fit: useful details
A zipped collar helps regulate heat during an uphill climb without taking off the top. Long sleeves serve as a base layer under a jacket. A fitted cut hugs the body and dries better, while a loose fit allows airflow and is good for climbing. On long days in the sun, a high collar and lightweight long sleeves protect the neck and arms without getting too warm. Flat seams reduce chafing under the straps of the bag.
Outdoor t-shirt brands
Patagonia offers technical tops for walking and mountain activities. La Sportiva dresses climbers and trail runners with lightweight t-shirts. Dare 2B provides affordable options for nature outings. Craft offers jerseys and base layers. Rogelli completes the range with jerseys for cycling outings. Sorting by sport quickly separates mountain tops from bike jerseys.
Other outdoor clothing
For the outer layer, check out outdoor jackets or, for rain, waterproof jackets. Long-sleeve tops take over in cool weather. For bottoms, choose from hiking shorts and trousers and joggers. A breathable t-shirt and a lightweight jacket cover most mid-season outings.
Good deals on t-shirts
Men's clothing sales and women's clothing sales feature tops at reduced prices. For the latest collections, check out the mountain novelties. The clearance also offers tops from previous collections, often in less popular colours.
Frequently asked questions
Cotton or synthetic for hiking?
Synthetic or fine wool fabrics dry much faster than cotton. Cotton retains moisture and cools down during breaks. In the rain, it becomes heavy and sticks to the skin.
Can a cycling jersey be used for hiking?
Yes for a short outing, it breathes well. However, its rear pockets are less practical under the straps of a back pack.
Is a different t-shirt needed for climbing?
A durable and flexible top that doesn't restrict arm movement is better. Long sleeves also protect against the rock.
How to limit odours over several days?
Choose a fabric treated against odours or wool, and air dry the top every evening.
How do I find my size?
Check the size guide on each product page, as fits vary by brand. The smallest is suited for a close fit, the largest for a layering approach.
