I rate these too, I've got a couple that are a few years old and still decent.

Never climbed anything taller than his stories though.

I got a load of the treehog long sleeve and short sleeves. Really nice and breathable but the neck zips are naff and I look like the kind of tree surgeon that demands 3k for a lop and top from old age pensioners...but I’ve bought the shirts now and will wear them till they die. They’re also very figure hugging for all those curves you really don’t want to show when you’re an 18 stone dude.

Never paid over the odds because a manufacturer stuck their logo on a tee shirt as well...

One thing I’ve learned, unless you have used a product personally over time refrain from commenting on it, lest you look the fool yourself

Errrr, we are talking about tee shirts are we not?....   I do wear them myself, and have researched them thoroughly..   doin the odd hundred mile hike you tend to research everything to get the weight down..   including the shirt/tee shirt...   

 

so I know what I'm talking about when discussing the types of tee shirts available, their qualities and shortcomings...   all depend on the material, never on the logo..   

 

Now if you can explain why a tee shirt with a Pfanner logo works better than another tee shirt without, but made of the very same material I'd be interested to to read your explanation...
