Outdoor Research  Argon T-Shirt - Men's

These tee serves its purpose. I bought it to take the place of my BD Alpenglow sun-shirt when that was in the wash. Compared to the alpenglow: - this shirt feels slightly thinner, but actually more durable (I think it has a tighter weave than the BD, and seems to get caught on brambles/etc. less). - this shirt is slightly longer. It hangs a bit lower on my waist than I would prefer when I'm just hiking, though that can help it stay in place under my harness when I'm climbing. - this shirt feels less stretchy, and the material feels somehow more artificial against the skin. I would say the BD is slightly more comfortable All in all the shirt does its job, but hasn't stood out to me.

I use the Argon Short sleeve in Space Jam at the gym. A lot of my cotton tees start to feel like I'm swimming in the pool if I get enough sweat on them-just bogged down, soaked, and drowning. But this tee wicks sweat the whole time and feels like someone hid a fan somewhere behind me to keep both me and the tee light and cool. A splurge compared to a cheap cotton tee, but a treat that's worth it

Been wearing these for a year or so with excellent results regarding function and fit. Decided recently to order more in a different color. They are very durable,comfortable and lightweight, and transition well from indoor activity to outdoor exertion. No pilling on shoulders or back from wearing my pack everyday and the neck is the same size even after pulling them over my fat head many times.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Argon is my favorite technical t-shirt from OR. The fit is great and the material is comfortable and durable. This is the second argon I've owned and I've been very happy with both. I prefer the argon over echo because echo is more prone to snagging on thorns and brush and getting rips and pulls in the fabric. If they made an argon sun hoody I'd buy it in a second.

This shirt wicks away sweat really well and I'm pleased with the quality so far. I felt the sizing was a tad big even though it was accurate based on the size chart. I'm 5'8" so the sleeves on the medium were long for my taste (almost to my elbow) and the body of the shirt was a tad boxy/wider, and the shirt length longer, than other OR medium tops.

Not quite as light and breathable as the Echo tees, but I'm willing to trade that for the UPF 30 sun protections (Echo only has UPF 15, not enough for OR to even list it in the specs). I really like the cut of the collar, and so far it doesn't seem like it is too likely to snag. I liked my first Argon enough that I've ordered more colors.

The Argon is my favorite running top for Spring/Summer/Fall weather. While it is a little heavier than some featherweight tees, it manages sweat so much better than those that it ends up being much more comfortable. I've also put hundreds of run-commuting miles in with this tee, and it's shown zero wear and tear from backpack straps.

I really like this shirt and kept it, but the Medium was pretty big on me compared to my other OR Mediums. The body was wide by 2in or so on either side, and the sleeves and body length were long for my 5'8" height as well. If these measurements were refined a bit this would be a perfect shirt and I'd buy one for every day in summer!

I've already recommended this short to a buddy and he absolutely loved it too. I bought this to endure heatwaves and the short is solid. Colour is nice too. I'm usually a black and grey tee afficionado but this orange one really brings out my inner butterfly. Dries fast. Wears light. Durable so far. A good purchase.

Great summer shirt, dry's fast after getting sweaty. I even wear in the winter time under OR flannels. I believe that it's a great all around shirt not to heavy in the summer months and worked as a layer in the winter. I would recommend this shirt for good all around use. Will buy a couple more.
