Comment on Does anyone actually own a shirt like this? Cos you'll need it in the ZA

I have a couple, but they’re wind resistant, odourless for about 4 days without washing, quick drying, and durable. The buttons are also studs and covered to help with water proofing, but allow for opening it up to cool down.
There’s a big difference in a $100 shirt styled to look rugged and a $100 shirt actually designed for long periods in the wilderness. They probably look the same to most people from afar.

Suggested brands or styles for the “actually designed for long periods in the wilderness” type?

Poncho(short and long sleeve) and Triple Aught Design(long and short sleeves, multiple materials and features.)
Both companies mostly manufacture in America. TAD is definitely more technology packed and feature rich. Poncho is simple and durable.

You get what you pay for.
With TAD, look out for their clearance sales and you get get them for “cheap”. I think I got two of their button up short sleeves for 50% off last year.
