Hiking shirts

The hiking shirt is a true classic for hiking and trekking sports as well as other outdoor activities. With its typical design, high wearing comfort and functionality, it has also long since found its place in everyday life. A hiking shirt is usually checked and has a collar and button placket as well as two breast pockets on the front. However, there are many more designs to discover in the Transa online shop.

Hiking shirts for every season

Nature beckons for long hikes, especially in the warmer months. Many summer hiking shirts for men are made from airy materials and have short sleeves. However, sometimes they also have long sleeves for better sun protection, which you can roll up if necessary. Hiking shirts for winter are made from thicker materials and are often lined or insulated.

Functional materials for hiking shirts

As with blouses for women, there is a large selection of materials for men's hiking shirts, depending on individual comfort requirements:

• Cotton is a classic and is used in the popular flannel fabric, for example. This renewable material is soft, breathable and comfortable.
• Synthetic fibres such as polyester and nylon score points with their functionality. They wick away moisture, dry quickly and are breathable.
• Lyocell and Tencel are fibres made from cellulose that offer comparable functionality to synthetic fibres, but are made from renewable raw materials.

In addition, the special ripstop weave is used for some hiking shirts. This makes the material particularly hard-wearing.

Finding the right hiking shirts

In addition to the type of material, some hiking shirts offer other advantageous features for outdoor activities. Depending on the activity you are planning, you should also look out for these features clothing in the Transa online shop:
