I have several of these tops and if there were more colours available I would get more. They are incredibly light to wear, great for those hot sunny days and dry really fast. They do fit large though so I would recommend going down a size. I’m 5’3” 105 lbs and wear an XXS in these tops.
I love that this tank dries quickly for hiking. I’m not happy that it is like new and the threads/seam is coming apart inside and outside on the hem. Sadly it just keeps unravelling. If it wasn’t for this I would give it a five.
Perfect lightweight tank for hiking & Exploring outdoors in the summer.
I bought this tank in the Guava color to use for running and hiking. I also bought the tshirt version in the orange/yellow color. I'm returning both because they are completely see through. If I wanted everyone to see my sports bra, I would just wear that and ditch the top. I found that both the shirt and tank top versions run long and look like tunics. For reference, I'm 5'4", 155 lbs, and normally wear a large because of my large bust, but sometimes I can size down to a M depending on the brand.
I like this tank. I have used it for running and other workouts. The only reason for the lower rating is because it showed wear and tear after I wore this for a trail run and wore my vest. The vest chest strap caused the fabric to pill. Considering how much this shirt is. That is disappointing. I will continue to wear it of course. I would just caution people who wear vests that this tank isn’t durable. Maybe best for runs without gear or gym workouts. Fits true to size. Light and breathable.
The Echo Tank is long and baggy but not oversized. It's hard to pair with anything but spandex shorts, and even then feels simultaneously loose and fitted in the wrong ways. The Echo Tank reads as fitting as "off" as it feels. The Echo Tank is pretty basic. I'd love to see some SPF rating in the fabric. This tank felt surprisingly heavy to me. Not particularly breathable. As packable as you'd expect, so easy to stuff into a running vest.
Very nice fabric, the tank feels light and breathable. But it fits like a tent, for lack of a better description. I chose to return it. OR seems to have very inconsistent sizing. I ordered 3 items from OR at the same time, all in size Small. A bra in size S is very tight; Echo long-sleeved Tee in size S seemed loose, a lot bigger than my older Echo shirt is the same size, but overall acceptable. The tank top looks 3 sizes too big.
I don't do well in the heat and this is my favorite top. It feels like you're wearing nothing, it's so light and airy. The fit is good and flattering. I like that the collar and arm holes are tight enough for good coverage. It doesn't restrict my movement when I'm rock climbing. I bought a light color and you can slightly see my bra though the fabric, which I personally don't mind.
I snagged it while hiking the partnach gorge, but I don't think I'd expect any tank of this material to hold up to being pressed into the rough rock and metal on a narrow trail. Ended up getting another because I quickly realized, I'm still gonna wear the snagged one, but I wanted a nice one to compliment it.
This is my first purchase in the Echo line. It won't be my last. The fabric has an incredible feel. I'll be wearing it running, hiking and at the beach. The color I purchased pairs well with either baby or bjs k shorts. Keep up the good work OR!
