Mountain Hardwear Men's Long Sleeve Canyon Shirt
Whether you're hiking over simmering plateau rocks or backpacking through the shadows of a meandering sandstone canyon, the Mountain Hardwear Canyon Shirt provides relief and protection from searing sunlight. The Desert Cloth contains a blend of nylon and polyester fibers treated with a SPF 30 sun protection finish. These compressed fibers minimize UV penetration but unlike some tightly woven garments, the Canyon Shirt has a wicking finish to expedite moisture transfer away from your skin without that annoying clammy feeling. The proven rubber button design stays together many soapy immersions beyond the wooden and plastic buttons often found on some travel/tropical shirts.

Love this shirt!
I use these for hiking and backpacking. I've tried various brands for this type of shirt, and ultimately this is my favorite. The material weight is just right; durable but lightweight, and it dries quickly. It features an athletic cut meaning it doesn't bunch up too much under the arms or around the waste. Lots of vents including the pockets, and the Napoleon pocket is easily accessible while wearing a pack. Colors seem to change often so if you have a favorite color grab a couple extra.

Good shirt
Really good shirt, the only complain that I have is a stink. I really do prefer that they will add silver into it.

Best all around backpacking shirt
After purchasing the MH canyon pants, which are awesome, I decided to go for the MH canyon long sleeve shirt(large). I am 5'10", 155lbs, large shirt size shoulders/chest, long back, short, 30" inseam, 34" waist. The pant size I purchased is medium/short and they fit perfectly. Almost all other mens base through outer layer shell pants have 32" or longer inseams and the articulated knees are too low on my legs. As for shirts, when I reach directly forward with both arms, the large size sleeves stay at my wrists wereas medium sizes will pull back and are tighter around my back muscles. The length of the canyoy shirt is about dress shirt long and would stay tucked in just fine. I leave mine out for hiking to over lay the canyon pants which stay skin tight and won't constantly pull down. The fabric weight, design and quality are all excellent. The long sleeves, which have roll up fasteners for hiking, are great when I make camp, especially for my anti-bug system - boots, long pants, long sleeve shirt, thin glove liners, bucket hat and no see um mesh heat cover, all treated with permethrim. My only complaint for this shirt and for almost all large size shirts and top/shell layers is what I call "American sizing". By this I mean that these garmets could fit someone with a belly the size of a medicine ball! Since when did large men that you had to weigh at least 240lbs? Now I might be able to understand this relating to casual or even golf wear, but I can't remember seeing any of these types of guys on a 3500 foot, 10 mile hike! Any way, it's not like we can all afford custom clothing. Happy trails!
