Featherlight feel and breathable comfort in the Echo Short-Sleeve Tee
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I wear the Echo short-sleeve for just about everything—trail runs, travel, fast hikes. It’s insanely light, dries super fast, and doesn’t cling when I sweat. Even better, it doesn’t stink after a few days on the trail. This one always earns a spot in my pack."
On days when we’re chasing miles under the sun or knocking out back-to-back adventures, the Outdoor Research Echo Short-Sleeve T-Shirt delivers the breathability, weight savings, and next-to-skin comfort we rely on. It’s the kind of ultralight tech tee that disappears while we’re wearing it, but performs at every step.
Made with moisture-wicking AirVent™ fabric and built-in Polygiene® odor control, the Echo keeps us dry, fresh, and moving. Flat seams prevent chafing, and the streamlined fit layers easily under other pieces or wears solo in the heat. Whether we’re heading out for an hour or a week, this tee is a minimalist’s dream layer.

I have 12 of these shirts. They are my absolute favorite. The cut is fitted and very flattering. They are great for hiking, tennis or just walking around town. Highly recommend ❤️

Nice shirt, bad fit.
I bought for a mountaineering trip. Everything fit well except for shoulders. They seemed pretty small, I have muscular shoulders from an athletic background but nothing crazy. Good material, just a bad fit.

All time favorite running T
I am sad when this is dirty and I have to wear something else when running. I love the lightweight feel, it moves really well, and gives me great coverage. I'll be ordering more. A lot more.

The best synthetic hiking shirts!
These are by far my favorite synthetic hiking shirts. So lightweight and breathable, beautiful colors, perfect fit, super comfortable, dries fast and wicks sweat. The raglan sleeves mean no seams for backpack straps to rub and cause irritation. A slightly higher UPF rating would be nice, but would also make the fabric heavier, so I understand the trade-off there. The smooth texture works well when layering too.

Love!
The most lightweight comfortable fabric for warm conditions outside & indoors. Hiking, camping, summer fun, working out, long hospital shifts etc. Super quick dry. Great for travel. I own several & would love to see more blue & teal shades released. Highly recommend :)

It’s really light weight and quick dry. Think, but not see through. Love the green color and order the red color too. Great fit, small size fit perfect, I am 5 ft and 115 lb.

I like the v-neck style and fit true to size. Lightweight and nice color (I have light blue). Will also likely use for running and sports but bought for backpacking.

Ultralight fabric, trim fit
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- Small
Body length runs a bit long on 5’3” frame. Very lightweight fabric but not see-through. Trim fit but not tight—went with a small (for reference, 125lbs and 32DD). Like the slight v-neck and princess seams for shape.
