So far, we’ve put more than 250 miles on each of our test pairs, and their durability has been quite impressive.

We tried two new shirt options from Ibex’s summer 2021 lineup. Both are soft, lightweight, odor resistant and temperature regulating; we tested them on cool and foggy coastal trails, as well as temps in the high 90s. Both feature classic styling and exceptional comfort that is true to the company’s heritage, which makes them equally suitable for athletic or leisure pursuits.
