Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Echo Short Sleeve Tee

I have several of these shirts now and they are FABULOUS! Super lightweight, silky material, and wicks like nobody's business. Cut is just right for 6'0 and 175 wearing M. Sizing is just a touch on the loose side compared to several of my other OR shirts. Definitely a hot weather shirt, esp. for sunny and or humid days. Has held up well to washing and wearing for over a year now. You just can't beat it for living anywhere sunny and warm.

I absolutely love this shirt. It's so lightweight it feels like wearing nothing. It wicks like a charm! I live and run in Virginia, so I need a shirt that keeps me cool, and this one is it. It's also durable enough to handle my workouts, which include doing exercises on the ground in dirt, twigs, mud, you name it. So far, no issues with snags and I haven't managed to stain any of them yet! This will be my go to non-freezing weather workout shirt as long as OR makes it.

I absolutely love this shirt. I generally buy mens gear because the womens versions fit me like a sausage casing, which is not comfortable or pretty. This shirt fits great, especially the length. It's breathable and wicking, which is just what I need running in the heat and humidity of northern Virginia. It's so lightweight I almost forget I have it on. I also love that there are more color choices than just black, white, and grey, which just get boring after a while. This will be my go to running shirt for as long as OR makes it!

its a solid workout tee, fits well with good length sleeves the seems running along the outside chest and down may feel uncomfortable to some though. I'm 5'9 165 medium build and the medium fits well although if you've got more muscle than me and don't like a shirt to tight go up a size if possible.

Great shirt and holding up well. Kept me cool on a recent cirque and didn't even stink too bad ;). Didn't even notice I was wearing it!!

comfortable polyester tee allowing good range of movement in arms; fabric is lightweight; main drawback (which I don't usually experience with tee shirts) was underarm body odor that was pronounced and required the shirt to be washed after each day's use. From my experience, this tee shirt does not minimize odor as advertised.

This shirt is very lightweight, comfortable, and seemingly durable. I've worn a few times for hiking, biking, and hanging around the house. Certainly a technical shirt, not something I'd wear to the brewery, but definitely comes with on trail.

Lightweight, affordable & versatile piece that offers great breathability in humid environments (where I live) and when I tested on several climbs and runs in the desert. Only gripe might be that the UPF 15 protection may not be enough for all day desert or alpine sun protection (makes sense given how lightweight and breathable it is) and the material is so light that abrasion resistance isn't it's strong suit but still performed very well. Given it's great performance in all other categories I'd say it's a win especially for the price. Additionally smell is an issue after extended use just like most polyester fabrics but that's a given and dries so quickly not a concern. 6'1" 180lbs size L fits great.

I love the blue color I purchased. Very bright and vivid. It's your average dry wick shift except my dry hands don't seem the "grab" at the material and it stick to them.

As an outdoor Professional I need gear that is dependable and multi-Purpose. This is an amazing base layer that is also a top layer. Soft, mildly stretchy, and very breathable. It goes from wicking work duties to afternoon activities.

Pros- breaths very nicely, looks great and feels good. Cons- They run a bit slim- these feel more like a breathable base layer shirt than they do a standard hiking/ active shirt.

This shirt does exactly what it's supposed to do. It's light and wicks moisture like a charm. I wear it as a base layer and in the gym. The only downside is durability. It rubs on climbing holds and the fabric wears down quite fast. Other than that perfect shirt would buy again.

Great for running.

Great shirt but it runs small. I'm usually a size large but based on other reviews sized up and it fits great.

Love this shirt. The fabric is light and comfortable. Also have the hoodie version. After a couple of wears, the fabric starts to pull and snag. Still my favourite hiking shirts.

Purchased as a gift, so no direct feedback available yet, but it looks great!

Nice lightweight shirt

I didn't end up keeping this shirt solely due to the fact that it fit much tighter than I was expecting. The material was great. Super breathable and lightweight. It just fits much tighter than a medium in other shirt models (like the chain reaction Tshirt).

A great shirt - lightweight, comfortable and great for warm weather adventures or working out. Does not breathe as well as some fabrics, but wicks sweat effectively and dries quickly while not holding odor so can be worn multiple days - and it is so light. The shoulders are a bit boxier than previous iterations which can lead to bunching around the collar, but otherwise the fit is a little more athletic (which I prefer) than previous. A piece that I will continue to purchase with confidence. I'm 5'8", 145 lbs. and ordered a size small.

Great running shirt, you can count on the quality of OR.

Great breathable shirt. A little tight in the armpit areas. Matched up to my 2018 purchase of several Echo t-shirts purchased, I notice a definite sizing difference. All purchases were xxl. Still a great hiking shirt just wished the 2020 models were ever so slightly looser.

This has been my go-to shirt for climbing on hot days over the past year. It's incredibly lightweight, decently comfortable, and fits really well. My only complaint would be that it retains odours significantly more than other lightweight sun shirts I have.

I bought this shirt for the gym. All my OR shirts have been a size medium. This shirt is a bit smaller, especially around the upper arms and I dont have big arms. I assume it's a tight shirt to wick moisture away? For that purpose it would be epic. As a gym shirt I should've ordered up a size. It's nice and light for saving weight on the trail.

Nice for training. Very light shirt.

Great light, easy to pack, breathable shirt for your high intensity activity. Downgraded because the material is easy to damage with Velcro.
