It is no mystery why I like Mountain Khakis gear, great quality and great looks. My newest piece of MK gear is the Mountain Khakis Equatorial Long Sleeve Shirt. It is a great looking lightweight shirt that can do double duty on the trail or in the office.
I have been wearing the Mountain Khakis Equatorial Long Sleeve Shirt for months now while hiking, walking the dogs, out in town and to the office. Its is incredibly light weight made from MK’s poly woven dobby. While the shirt is made with performance in mind it doesn’t feel or look like a hiking specific shirt. By that I mean there are no goofy gizmos like flaps, snaps or mesh. Which is great if you want to grab dinner or a cup of coffee after being in the back country. With the poly woven dobby the shirt is lightweight and quick drying. So you won’t get chilled while on the trail or when you are grabbing lunch post adventure.
The bottom of the Equatorial Long Sleeve shirt is cut straight; so tucked or untucked it still looks sharp. And as I said before no extra flaps so you don’t look like an off duty fishing guide.
I really like this shirt for those cooler mornings when you want to start out with something more than a short sleeve but know that it is going to get warmer throughout the day. Just roll the sleeves up and pop a couple of buttons open and stay cool. With it being SPF-45 it also helps keep you from getting baked in the sun.
Two chest pockets keep things like you glasses handy, speaking of glasses the pockets have what Mountain Khakis calls “Spec-check” lining to clean your shades.
I love this shirt, a perfect combo of tech and style. In fact I am buying another one since I wear this so much.
