Why We Like The Outdoor Research Essential Pocket T-Shirt
Made for daily, multi-sport use, the Outdoor Research Essential Pocket T-Shirt keeps us cooler and drier when we're active. The polyester stretch blend wicks moisture while the ActiveTemp treatment has an evaporative cooling effect, releasing body heat as it releases moisture vapor into the air. That technical fabric keeps us comfortable as we're hiking, climbing, running, or just doing our normal day-to-day.

Comfortable, but stinky
I bought three of the shirts back in May/June. I’ve worn two of them on a weekly basis. They are super comfortable to wear around the house or a campsite. But… they stink once any amount of sweat (perspiration) hits them. I’ve worn them on some 4-6 mile runs as well… I know I sweat, but these things retain odor, even after washed or thrown in the dryer or even hung dry. I have other OR clothing/shirts/coats and none of them, even a OR insulated shell I have smell or retain odor like these.

Great everyday shirts
These are my go-to shirts for travel. They pack small, dry quickly and are very comfortable with a lot of stretch. Great for casual wear and hiking.

Phenomal tee!!!
I love the weight, quick-drying material, and versatility of this shirt. It's something you can wear on a hike, to the gym, or in very casual settings with no problem. If anyone were to ask me personally, I would say yeah get it.

Different fabrics for different colors
I ordered the lavender heather men's essential shirt on sale and loved the fabric/fit so I wanted a few more colors. I bought the manzanita, grey heather, black, and calcite shirts and found that the solid colors (manz, calcite, and black) had different fabrics than both heather shirts. The solid colors' fabrics are super thin while the heather colors' fabrics have a bit more weight to them, which was the reason I enjoyed the original lavender so much. I am disappointed in the quality of the solid colors but am keeping the heather.

Very comfortable shirt
Really nice. Fits good, looks good. Feels comfortable in the heat. The only thing is this is the type of fabric that seems to hold stink a little bit.
