"I would like to know which fabric dries fastest, breathes best while it's
sandwiched between my back and pack and will hold up for at least a few days
without having to be washed. I've read the advertisements promising all the
above, but I still haven't bought a shirt yet. Still soaking on my cotton

Hello Mike.....
I would go with the Railriders echo mesh shirt.  Now I do not sweat like a
pig etc. but my hiking partner does.  It only takes about 4 or 5 minutes
with your pack off to dry the Railriders shirt. The few times I got it so
wet using a different pack then that is what I did. Stop for a couple of
minutes and let it dry.
