A long-sleeve shirt, also known as a longsleeve, is a very good choice for many sports - as a first layer in winter or worn solo in the transition period. However, it doesn't necessarily have to be cold to be well clothed in a long sleeve shirt. Shirts with sunshade also protect you in strong sunlight.
Long-sleeve shirts are popular at any time of year and for any sport. They are indispensable for hiking, climbing, bouldering, biking or trekking. They offer more protection, but also more warmth than short-sleeved t-shirts. In our outdoor shop, you can choose between stylish print shirts, functional high-tech shirts and classic leisure shirts.
In contrast to t-shirts, a typical long sleeve shirt naturally has long sleeves. Depending on the activity and requirements, it can be equipped with different necklines.
It's all about the combination! Depending on which fibres are combined, your new longsleeve can give you great support. Cotton is absorbent but dries slowly. Soft merino wool is great, often combined with the benefits of other fibres that offer breathability, elasticity and quick drying. A different material is required for stop-and-go sports than for sweat-inducing sports. Polyester usually offers the greatest advantages here, often purposefully combined with another fibre.
In your recreation, you will prefer things to be comfortable and casual. In this case, your long sleeve should be cut a little wider, preferably oversized. However, it's a completely different story if the shirt is the base layer of your onion look. Any excess fabric would be distracting here. The fit must be close to the body for a baselayer. A good long sleeve shirt made from functional material can certainly replace thermal underwear. However, it must really lie close to the skin so that the body moisture that evaporates can be reliably wicked away.
There are special, fitted cuts for women, the shoulders are naturally cut a little narrower and the long sleeves are not quite as long as for men. In our outdoor shop, you will also find the right long sleeve shirt for your kids - just like for adults, with all the functions, mosquito and sunshade protection and, above all, in colours and patterns suitable for children.
