Our Verdict
Clothing is one of the areas where we think Mountain Hardwear excels, the Ravine Shirt is a traditional looking shirt but with the attention to detail required to elevate it to a modern, technical piece of gear.
The nylon/elastane fabric has a cotton-like feel to keep you comfortable on outings and wicking finish helps move moisture off your skin so you stay dry.
Small mesh panels in the sides and rear ensure good cooling airflow to these areas, and as the mesh is colour coded to the shirt you hardly notice them - only their impact.
