Thanks for the rewiew of that shirt. The shirt is actually called: Long sleeve hunting shirt 520 kaki Price : 30€/ 35,85$ with out shipping.

Hope you guys are enjoying the outdoors! One correction: my part of the Sierra Nevadas are not "high desert" but the climate is considered to be the similar.

Thanks for that brother . I was wondering where I'd lived in Ca. & Id , if that is " high desert " :D

What about a smell test?

I really like your style of reviews because you give both civilian and military gear a fair testing and objectively talk about their pros and cons. And it's a big plus you are not one of those ultra-light people when it comes to gear.

Outstanding video. Thank you for the review, and the brutal testing required to make it!

Thanks for all the great tips, tricks and info! One of my favorite is about army issue tents and the dryer trick! The fleece gloves inside the mitten trick is the best! What headlamp is that? thanks again!

Looks like a nice warm weather shirt, and a good price too! Love your views out there & PT.

I definitely enjoyed the video. That hike looked intense, beautiful views over those Mtns w/ the aerial shots, love the country. That’s what it looks like around me. It’s fantastic. Thanx

Hey Randall! Love your channel, great work and very inspiring. I share your shirt frustration, will give this Solognac a try. I thought I'd also suggest the Wrangler All-Terrain Gear shirts (ATG), very comfortable for summer wear and they are more form fitting for dudes with our shape (I'm 6'2 and about 175 lbs and wear a medium, sleeves are perfect length). They are available on Amazon (at least where I am in Canada) and I find the cut to be very comfortable (I hope they don't make them in "chairsoft" sizes in the US). They also have a near identical pocket layout to the Solognac and come in a few colors. When I got one, my wife said I should get one in each color, because they fit amazing.

heck yeah, thanks man, checking out the store

G Pozdol is right about the smell test, been using the Decathlon shirts for a while but after two days and nights on the field combined with sweat and dust, i was pretty sure i was the perfect Bear repellent on earth... but all the mountain goats would follow me with love in their eyes!

decathlon is indeed really good for it's price. What's even better is how they scale up: they got the basic product for around 10$ then dependingon what is added, the price goes up, like more warmth for winter, waterproof, better materials e.t.c. but its the same design overall so you can have the basic one for a bit and if you like it, get the better one according to your needs. But you can't beat those 5-10$ shirts and polo's for daily wear. Simply Amazing for their price. As for outdoor, they got a bit of everything. It's really my first shop when i need something and if i dont see something i like, i then go to other ones.

Great looking shirt Brother! Awesome video and thanks for sharing...

Here in Czech Republic I see two versions. Both are "520" The polyamide one looks exactly the same. The cotton one doesnt have the fasteners for sleeves and is rather brown. I like polyamide - nylon is what are ropes made of. It's hard to beat cotton in a summer sun tho

Good videos. Real working/proving tests. Thanks👍

Nice. I prefer a long sleeve in the heat too. Usually, it's a long sleeve cotton, long sleeve. But, a casual, light colored button-up is nice. 🍻.

Well thought design for a shirt, and great video my friend! I really enjoy your channel.

Hi Randall. Great video as always. This shirt is awesome. I have it for almost year. I don’t know if you’ve noticed that there is a pen sleve on that shirt..

Not heard of this brand before, but I have a couple of craghoppers with similar features. Thanks for the info 🇬🇧

Just mind blowing review from a vet!!❤

That was a great video...very infomative

Awesome shirt! That would definitely be great for summer camping/backpacking. Thanks! Watch out for Bigfoot out there..👍🍺

I like the dusty brown Crocodile Dundee camo. Yeah, and this: Nothing will camo you like good ole 50 meters of crawling in local dirt

Had a look at those shirts since a long time ago, but after your review I decided to get one. Wore it last week during a 3 day metal detecting outing in the mountains, a great piece of gear indeed. Too bad the size is quite large width wise, kind of "big gut fit", but it works ok to evaporate the sweat and dry the material. Highly recommended and awsome shirt indeed!

Been trying to find this solognac stuff. Thanks for the links.

Mr. Grunt would you please do a video on good heavy duty tactical American made clothing? Or did you? Please and thank you.

Haha to be fair you gave those clothes an absolute beasting, worth the money without a doubt

I've been on a mission to find the perfect hot weather hiking shirt, and it's tough. I want lightweight, breathable, dual chest pockets, preferably with no pocket flap. I prefer nylon because it collects odor less than most polyester shirts. REI's Sahara shirts are good. They are also available in tall (i.e. longer sleeves and hem). The Columbia Silver Ridge Lite 2.0 shirt, though constructed of polyester, is good. Measured on a scale, it's probably the lightest in weight. The fabric is so thin that it probably won't stand up to abuse. Columbia's sizing runs very large, so size down. Mountain Hardwear's Canyon shirts fit nicely, but get funky so quickly... literally in just a few hours. All of the mentioned shirts are expensive at full retail price, so you should wait for a sale... except the Columbia which comes in so many colors that you can usually find one at about 50% off on amazon.

Great set of test Randal as well as the year of general use. Looks like a good shirt. What kind of weight were you rucking for the 12 miles? Nate

I can say i am very pleased with them. This solognac shirt is the first I have seen that probably is better. Going to get me a few and try 'em.
