Why We Love This Deal

Much of the conversation about men’s clothing today focuses on stealth wealth and quiet luxury. Meanwhile, the REI Co-op line has done something much craftier with its Active Pursuits collection. This ordinary-looking hiking shirt, for example, is just $26 right now, but it has a ton of tech built in that makes it superior for hikes.

The REI Co-op Active Pursuits T-Shirt is 25% off right now in its REI Blue Heather and Sunset colors, and available in a ton of sizes. If you’ve ever been on a hike and the guy next to you seemed less sweaty, less irritated, and overall more comfortable, don’t immediately jump to superior conditioning as the reason why. It could’ve been as simple as him wearing a shirt featuring many of the same qualities as this top-rated REI offering.

What Shoppers Should Know

Sizes Available: From small to 3XL, some tall sizes available
Color Options: 2 on sale, 7 more at regular price
Fabric Blend: A UPF50+ blend of 92% polyester, 8% spandex
Best Use Case: This shirt is ideal for hiking excursions and, due to its moisture-wicking nature, makes for a great workout shirt, too.

If you prioritize high comfort while hiking, you’re going to appreciate this one. Its stretchy fabric is 8% spandex, more than even Vuori’s active tech shirt that costs nearly double, and allows for a great range of movement as you stretch, move your arms to balance yourself on angled pathways, and brace yourself for a steep incline.

And this lightweight, fluid nature is going to continue throughout the day. A naturally moisture-wicking and quick drying surface keeps you away from drenched-down afternoons. As a bonus, it’s even a UPF 50+ sun shirt, meaning it will block 98% of the sun’s UV rays. That’s one less surface to slather with sunscreen!

What Shoppers Are Saying

How does it feel to wear? One said that “the T-shirt feels supple, lightweight, breathable, and comfy.”

Another review that really stuck out was from somebody who mentioned getting compliments at the gym. “People are not used to seeing me wearing something that looks this nice.” This shirt really holds up to the pressures of the gym, so you don’t need to pack a dubiously-picked ill-fitter when you have it in your arsenal.

Incredibly, the REI Co-op Active Pursuits T-Shirt is just $26 right now, and people are paying attention. With a week crammed full of early Prime Day deals, it’s actually absurd how many people are buying this shirt, already at more than 1,300 this week at the time of writing. Some of the tall sizes have sold out already, so be sure to get your purchase in before it’s too late.
