Mountain Hardwear Men's Wicked Lite Short Sleeve T

great shirt
May 11, 2012

Great shirt . . . comfortable with a pack or without, dries quickly, and is nice looking. Material may snag a little easily, but the same is true of most shirts of this type. I'm definitely pleased with its performance.

Awesome shirt
May 09, 2012

Very breathable shirt, wicks sweat really well during workouts. Sizing is a bit on the slim side, Mountain Hardwear seems to have a slimmer fit than North Face's corresponding wicked lite t shirt. Altrec customer service great as usual

Wicked Lite and Wicked Good!
April 27, 2012

As we say in Boston, this shirt is wicked Good, and one of the best wicking shirts you can get. I have quite an array of them and I really like how they worked over the years to get the weight down and still have a shirt that provides good coverage and that doesn't fall apart when put through it's paces. The newer versions hold up better as well, the old versions would fray or snag easy and the newer ones don't. The Wicked Lite Shirt is a great shirt for running or almost any sport activity. My only problems with this shirt is, I don't like them under a pack, they are not as comfortable as some other shirts I use for backpacking in hot weather. I also don't like them in direct sunlight if I am just sitting around as they seem to magnify the heat in some respects. But if you are running around they are fine and also work great under a windproof jacket or rain jacket if it's hot out. I also use these shirt for under a dress shirt if I am going to work and plan to go outside for lunch. I can peel off the dress shirt, run around outside, sweat and the wicking will dry it up and I can go back in put the dress shirt back on for the rest of the day. All in all, a very versatile top.

MH Shirts are the best
March 04, 2012

I've tired several "performance" shirts and none seem to beat those from Mountain Hardware. I have 4 from MH and these are the ones I wear the most. Light, dries quickly, and keeps you dry too! Perfect training/running shirt. I'll be buying additional colors of this one!

Good shirt for the price
March 01, 2012

I liked the wicking capability of this shirt. I've used it in a few vigorous yoga classes and have hardly had any moisture build up. My only complaint would be that the fit was not very athletic. I am 6ft tall and about 180 lbs and I bought the LG. The fit was just a little to baggy for my liking. Other than that I like the shirt. It seems to be well made like all Mountain Hardware products and I would not hesitate to purchase this shirt.

nice shirt, runs small
December 29, 2011

This is a nice shirt, but I thought it ran small, especially in the shoulders. Based on other reviews and the size the model was wearing, I ordered a MD for my 5'10", 175 lb. husband who usually wears a MD in other workout shirts. It arrived and the shoulders looked very narrow. I ended up not giving it to him and will be returning it. The color (blue) and material are nice.

Wicked lite tee-shirt
October 20, 2011

Greatest wicking tee-shirt on the planet! I wear them for my runs everyday of the week. Would recommend this shirt for any runner. Fits true to size, great quality.

It's the best!
August 30, 2011

It's a really nice product. I gave it away as a gift and they love it! They love the quality and design. They seem very happy! People around me also showed interest. The size is perfect as well! It's really the best.

Favorite Running Tee
August 17, 2011

I've owned this shirt for two month, and have put in quite a few miles wearing it, training for a half marathon during the hottest summer the Midwest has experienced in most folk's memory. Sweat just seems to soak away to nothing. I know I'm sweating buckets and the shirt barely feels damp - I just feel the wind as I trot along. Doesn't hold stink too much either. Most comfortable shirt I've ran in yet. Cut and fit are nice - no bunching anywhere. I am 6'3", 215lbs, with a 46" chest and the XL fits the way I like it - semifitted around the chest and back, slightly loose around my sides. Nice shirt.

Excellent T-shirt
August 14, 2011

I like this shirt very much. The finish is much smoother and nicer than on the old Mtn Hardware shirts, and the fit and proportions are a little better. I think it will be less prone to snags than the old model, but every shirt I've had with a lightweight synthetic fabric is relatively susceptible to snags (much more so than cotton), so I think you need to plan to be careful in that regard (and keep it away from Velcro under any circumstances). The drape and hand of the fabric is good and the shirt is very presentable when the occasion calls for a reasonably good-looking t-shirt (I would not say that about the old one). Breathability and comfort are still excellent. Nice color. One of my favorite T-shirts.

Great shirt for sure
August 03, 2011

Fits perfect, good quality, very comfortable, packable, light weight, quick dry, etc. We were hiking around 90F (with high humidity) for almost 2 hours and this shirt works so well, wicking fast and you always feel dry and comfortable.

perfect shirt
July 15, 2011

My husband absolutely loves these, he now has several colors. They are light-weight but great quality. He loves them for working out or just hanging around. He normally wears a large and the large in these fits great.

Great Shirt, but runs small
July 11, 2011

I have the long-sleeve version of this shirt in small and love it. It fits well, breathes and the antimicrobial treatment works great. I like everything about the short-sleve version, except that it runs much smaller. I have to return the shirt because of the poor fit.

Great Synthetic Wicker
July 11, 2011

This T-shirt delivers as expected. It fits in the typical athletic sizing found in outdoor gear--the XL fit me (6'3", athletic 225lb) in the usual slim way--and was comfortable even under a pack for 40+ miles in Glacier NP; credit flat seams, good fit, and just the right amount of stretch. Of course it is cool, dries fast, and is of the quality you'd expect from a leading brand. Still, I give it only "Good" marks for comfort and durability because I find wool to beat synthetic in those respects and you always give up a bit of durability when you go this light and thin. The antimicrobial treatment helps defeat your stench but again wool outperforms synthetic in that area. Never-the-less, if you want the lightest, wicking-est t-shirt for those hot summer slogs this is the gear for you.

Excellent hiking shirt
July 05, 2011

I just spent a couple of weeks in southwestern Colorado, alternating between desert and mountain elevations. The Mountain Hardwear wicked lite tee shirt worked perfectly in both environments. It is ideal for hiking due to its light weight, wicking ability, fit, and always seeming to have a sense of freshness. The reasonble cost and color options are also pluses. I have tee shirts from several different outdoor companies and now the Mountain Hardwear wicked lite tee shirt is all that I buy.

Even better than before
June 26, 2011

The Wicked Lite has been my favorite summer shirt since it was introduced. It's extremely lite weight and therefore it's wicking properties allow it to dry very quickly. Well, the shirt has now gotten even better. It has those same properties but it now is more durable than it was prior. No more piling of the fabric under a pack! This is a major plus as the shirt will last even longer than it had already. I'm ordering more, get 'em while they last!

Great Running Shirt
June 24, 2011

This shirt is true to size (i'm 6ft and bought a large). Very lightweight, durable shirt that does a good job of wicking away the sweat. I should have bought several more.

Great shirt, but fits smaller than North Face
June 21, 2011

This was exactly the shirt I was looking for. The material is sort of a wicking mesh, really light and comfy. However, I wear a size medium for any of the North Face wicking t-shirts. I'm 5'11" 190, and ordered a medium and needed to return it for a large.

Long tail, form fit, good shirt.
June 20, 2011

It's more of a form fitting shirt but that's what i was looking for. The length is on the longer side so mixing that with the tighter fit it makes for a good running shirt. Based on the size guide i was L and ended up happy with that choice. Not sure i'd go for another one, but might grow on me after a few more runs.

Great shirt from MH
June 20, 2011

Love sthis shirt. It is so lightweight and breathable. Hiking in the summer heat is not quite as bad with this type of shirt. MH has done such a good job at making it light, but durable. I am very pleased with this shirt, and wear it all the time. A little pricey, but worth every penny.

Currently the most comfortable wicking T
June 18, 2011

I have several wicking T-shirts. These include, several different brands from North Face, Marmot, Columbia, Gap, and Mountain Hardware. These T's from MH are the best I have. I normally wear the North Face SS velocity crew, and these have now replaced them as my quick go to T's. I only use them as undershirt T's and for that they do very well.

Love the wicked lite shirt
June 16, 2011

It does fit true-to-size but I would say that it might be slightly smaller than other T-shirts I have bought in the past. I am 5'8" and 150lbs (bought a medium). It is super light and comfortable. Wicks moisture away very quickly and is great to wear with any recreational activities.

Very comfortable shirt
June 16, 2011

This is one of the most comfortable t-shirts I have ever owned. It is very light, dries quickly, and the fabric is extremely soft. I am not sure how durable it will be, since I have only had it a short time.

Great Shirt!
June 07, 2011

This shirt is great for hot days it fits loose and is light. The anti- microbial helps a little but does not stop all smell after lots of sweating. So far these are my favorite shirts to wear for hiking and ever day use because of the light weight and comfort of the material.

Remarkably light
May 29, 2011

I recently exchanged this shirt for another moisture wicking shirt and was pleased when I tried this one on. The material is just as durable but seems to be a lot more "breathable". The only minor gripe I have with this shirt is the fact that the length is a tad long. Normally I would send a shirt back for this reason, but this shirt fits so well in every other sense that I chose to keep it. The athletic fit of the shirt prevents the length of the shirt to be too noticeable because it falls at your hips and bunches slightly (if the shirt were roomier it might wear like a nightshirt). In short, it is well worth the few extra dollars for a fine active shirt.

The very best wicked T I ever had
May 27, 2011

I am a big sweater. During working out, I can easily produce more than 2lb of sweat. This wicked T is the best wicked T I ever had -- light weighted and dried ultra fast. It is very comfortable as well; unlike some of the wicked T, after I sweat I felt the fabric is soaked in water and sticks to my skin. This Mountain Hardware wicked T is not like that; it does not produce the wet, sticky felling. It dries very fast as well; with good circulation of air (today the humidity about 70%), my soaked through fabric is dried within half an hour. Very pleased to this product, and going to by 2 more!

Great Summer shirt, runs small...
May 12, 2011

This shirt is ideal for extremely hot conditions. It is perhaps the lightest base layer I have ever tried, and compared to other ones, such a Patagonia's Cap1 it has a much less "plastic-like" feeling on the skin. Price is right too. It does however run small compared to other brands. I wear a small in both Patagonia and Arcteryx, but this one feels way more constraining (i.e. if I lift my arms the shirt feels too tight around my chest and in the armpits). However, the material feels very comfortable. Just remember: if in doubt, I would definitely size up.

Amazing Everyday Shirt
March 24, 2011

First and foremost, do not be deterred by the price tag. This shirt may be a bit pricey, but considering its quality and comfort, the price point is perfect. COMFORT: I got to the point where I simply could not tolerate cotton t-shirts anymore. They are uncomfortable, wrinkly, and constraining, and left me searching for something else. So I bought this shirt to wear as an everyday shirt -- not necessarily for hiking, but a shirt that could be thrown on and would provide comfort and ventilation all day. The first time I put it on, I was amazed -- it actually does not even feel like you're putting a shirt on; it sort of glides on your body. And when I have it on, sometimes I forget i'm actually wearing a shirt -- that's how good the ventilation is. I hardly sweat in the shirt like I do in cotton t-shirts (and I'm a heavy sweater). With that said, the shirt fabric is shockingly THIN. Time will tell if the thinness will be detrimental to durability. SIZING: I ordered a size M in Black, and I'm 5'9". The fit was PERFECT. Perfect length, as well. Definitely do not go for a L unless you're pushing 6 feet or above. CONCLUSION: Amazing shirt for everyday wear. Very thin, well-ventilated, and comfortable. Washes very well. Time will tell if thinness of fabric will be a problem.

A favorite
March 07, 2011

This is my "go to" - nice styling, and super comfortable and lightweight, like it's almost not there. XL fits me well (6' 210lbs). Anti-microbial won't hide odors like wool does, but they can always be washed! Haven't gone bushwacking in them, but they seem much more durable/snag-resistant than some other synthetic shirts.

Great Purchase
February 20, 2011

I bought this for my husband for an upcoming hiking vacation. It is light weight for easy packing, comfortable, and wicking. My husband wears a medium and the medium fit perfect, true to size. I plan on buying more in different colors.

super lightweight
February 16, 2011

I love these shirts from Mountain Hardwear! They are very lightweight and cool for summer. Once you start wearing these shirts you'll want to throw all your cotton T-shirts away! These shirts are great for hiking,running, or just out on the town. They are well made and highly recommended!

Great Tee
February 09, 2011

There is a reason for this being a number one seller. Love these shirts, fits and wicks well. Great for layering and alone. They look and feel great. I like the colors offered and they do not fade. After several washings still holds it's shape.

Great shirt, good price.
January 13, 2011

This shirt is exactly what you need when it comes to any sort of exercise. Works great for going on a run or doing some hiking all day. Extremely light-weight, and wicks very well.

December 06, 2010

Great shirt. Mountain Hardware quality. You can't go run with this shirt. The only down side the shirt had was a loose neck.

One of the best summer t's
November 26, 2010

Love these MH wicked t-shirts; they are awesome - good fit, wicks great and they look great, too; can wear them working outside, or to the bar at night

Best Hot Weather T
November 18, 2010

I sweat a lot. This is the best hot weather shirt I own. It dries quickly. My only issue with it is that the sleeves are a little long. They seem to "get caught" when reaching. Once you reach far enough they move with you, however.

Great T-Shirt
November 10, 2010

I have several of these and wear them for work in the emergency room, kayaking, hiking and casual wear in all seasons. They are a great weight and they wick well. They are much better in quality and performance than the old wicked T. I liked the old wicked T's, but these are so much better.

awesome shirt
October 06, 2010

I spent a long time reviewing various non t-shirt t-shirts. This product is the first Mountain Hardwear product I have purchased, and I must say I am very impressed. Fast-drying. Doesn't feel like you're wearing a soaking-wet t-shirt while you're working out. Would highly recommend this shirt.

Best tech t-shirt
September 25, 2010

I have the Columbia omnidry as well as a nike tech tee and the mountain hardwear wicked lite shirt is by far my favorite synthetic t-shirt for hiking and running in hot weather. It is really light weight, wicks moisture away well, overall excellent for staying cool on hot days. A bit more expensive but definitely worth it.

Still can't find a better Hot Weather Tee !
August 31, 2010

This shirt is soft yet extremely durable. It continues to be my favorite shirt as I own it in four different colors!
