[pct-l] Desert shirt

[David Thibault]

I wore a railriders shirt I was very happy with. I also probably got 5000
miles before it started to fall apart.  Had a columbia shirt that just
didn't last.   I'd recommend one of the top brands-  railrider, ex offico,
or patigonia  - be warned the are all a tad expensive...  But it was a
great shirt of which I have bought another - it held up so well they made a
lifetime customer out of me...

Day-Late


Patagonia sunshade long sleeve shirt.  $45.

I wore it every day on my 2012 hike.    UV protection, light, comfortable,
easy to wash out, quick to dry.  Did not snag, rip, tear or abrade.  Does
not have a collar.
