Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Echo Short Sleeve Tee

I've only had the opportunity to wear this shirt once, but it immediately became a favorite for mountain biking. It is lightweight, breathes well, and dries quickly even while wearing a hydration pack. It should be a good choice for any outdoor adventure--hiking, backpacking, or trail running. It fits well (true to size) with a tapered fit so it looks good for casual wear. I anticipate I'll be buying several of these in multiple colors.

us e the Echo working outdoors, GREAT at keeping me cool!

I use this shirt for the gym and so far I'm really liking the fit and feel of it. The shirt is more of a fitted cut, so if you're carrying a little extra weight you might want to size up.

Helps me keep cool on a hot day.

I am a runner and a frequent adventure traveler.. The ECHO TEE is the most lightweight, breathable shirt I have found. I highly recommend it.

Real light Tee, real breathable and comfortable. The shirt is long so taller guys and the ones who like to tuck it in their pants will be pleased. Little down side, I bought the light green one and wet spots appear easily, but leave just as fast once you stop sweating. For this reason, I will wear it as a first layer. Great buy

Awesome for all outdoor activities in the heat of summer. I use it primarily for running and hiking, but it is very versatile. Considering getting another one.

A little small.

Been wearing the echo brand t-shirt for sevelal years including m 2018 JMT NOBO hike. Only complaint I had for last years model was the length was to long for a XXL. This years model has corrected that , BUT...now the sleeves are a little to short adding a little tightness to the shoulder/armpit area. Still a great shirt. Just can't figure out why the sleeves were shorten for an XXL

Echo tees are great shirts. I now have 12 and wear one or two everyday. Will continue to buy them - more colors would be appreciated.

Super light, just perfect for traveling. Easy care. Fast drying. Perfect fit.

My favorite athletic tee. Better than anything I've had from Patagonia, BD or Nike. Durable, comfortable and very breathable.

Fantastic shirt for humid/hot days. Wicks sweat and keeps you cool. I've already ordered more.

The Echo tee is a great ultra-lightweight tech tee for warm conditions. I'm a slim 6'2 and the large fits perfect without excess material compared to my previous tee's I owned. The tee feels comfortable during long trail runs in the heat without any chaffing. Works great with the new OR Windward shorts.

6'3", 42" chest, 185 lbs. Size L is perfect. I owned the previous generation of this shirt and the fit was a bit boxy for something described as trim. The updated version has a nice, trim fit without being too slim. They also did away with the dumb key pocket in the previous version. Kudos to OR for getting this update perfect. Get this shirt if you're looking for ultra light sun protection.

My Echo s/s was perfect for the section hike I just completed on the Appalachian Trail. I hiked and camped 70 miles over 8 days from Hot Springs, NC, to Erwin, TN in record-breaking hot weather. I wore the shirt every step of the way. The wicking and evaporation helped to cool me off and the shirt was usually dry by the time I set up my gear for the night. At just over 3 ounces, it's the lightest shirt I've ever owned.

I'm between a L and an XL and with the trim fit I'm glad that I purchased the XL. Fits perfect!

I used this shirt as my base layer while doing a 6 day ski traverse of the Pickets in Washington. The shirt has a nice athletic cut that fit me perfectly. Im 5'8" and ordered the medium. We had several days where there were 4k ascents with skis on our packs and I was really impressed by how well it wicked moisture from my body. Even though it is super lightweight, it held up well. I also didn't get any chaffing that I would usually get from a long trip. Highly recommend.

The only short sleeve tee I use on trail! Super lightweight and breathes well! If you're looking for a trail shirt, workout shirt or comfortable shirt to wear around the house, I highly recommend the Men's Echo Tee!

Love the shirt.

this is my favorite mountain biking shirt. Light, breathable and long enough that i'm not exposing my rear end to anyone following me. I sweat ALOT and this shirt is really good at keeping me comfortable.

I use this every season. Fits a little loose but I would still order normal size. Great all around.

Fabric is really light and comfy, and not too clingy when soaked with sweat. Fit is not truly trim in my view (which is a benefit). I'd call it Trim Plus, as it almost has a classic T-shirt fit. Odor control is very good. Still nothing after several days of hot (80s+) running workouts. Comparable or superior to my merino Ts, but I hope more durable (time will tell). I got the Glacier blue and the color is more vivid than how it appears on the website. Highly recommended.

I use this shirt for trail running - I cannot say enough good about this fabric. It is really hard to describe, you just have to feel it for yourself. It really is the lightest fabric you can imagine. The best way I can describe it is....I would do anything to have a pair of sheets for my bed made out of this material. Anything! I love these shirts!

These shirts are super comfortable and incredibly lightweight. That being said, they are also incredibly durable. I have a couple of these shirts that I purchased about two years ago that are showing absolutely no signs of wear or deterioration. I wear these shirts for workouts as well as at my job, spending long days in the mountains, very often off-trail. I stay dry and comfortable. Even after rainstorms, a saturated shirt can dry out completely as quickly as ~15 minutes depending on weather conditions. I will definitely be acquiring more of these shirts as time goes on.
