Hiking, backpacking trips, thru-hikes, skiing, and climbing all demand a versatile, lightweight, durable base layer. The Flume will keep you warm, wick away moisture, protect your from the sun, and is naturally anti-odor for multi day use.
Did we mention this is the most comfortable baselayer you'll own? So soft on the skin, but tough enough to handle anything the White Mountains has to offer.
Named the Best Overall Hiking Shirt by Field and Stream in 2021, 2023, and 2024, the Flume consists of a blend of TENCEL™ and spandex. TENCEL™ is naturally wicking, odor-resistant, thermo-regulating, and exceptionally comfortable, making the Flume the perfect all-season baselayer.
Key Features:
4-way stretch fabric for superior movement and fit
Extended length to ensure coverage when active - will fit under a harness
Thumb loops for secure hand coverage - layering warmth when needed
Raglan sleeves for greater movement
Flatlock stitched to reduce chafing and improve layering
UPF 40
Uses: Hiking, backpacking, skiing, climbing, biking, running

Leaving Monday for a 22 day trip on the Coastal Camino in Portugal. The shirt will be well worn and broken in after this trip. It's been washed and worn a couple times already....still looks and feels like new!
It hasn't been cool enough yet, to wear a base layer here in Maine, but I'm looking forward to when I can, the fit is great!
This 1/4 zip is comfortable and versatile. I will use it both for golfing and early morning walking. Construction and fit are excellent.
I love this shirt. It’s the perfect fit and thickness. For reference I’m 5’ and 120 lbs and have the xs. It’s not skin tight but fits loose, unlike the regular long sleeve style flume. My only issue with it is the seem on the arms. I can deal with it but wish it was covered better because it does feel a little itchy and goes from the armpit all the way down to the hands on both sides.
This was my second flume 1/4 zip, loved the red one so much I had to get another in blue! These are super comfy, lightweight, and stretchy! I’ve used them as a baselayer for winter hikes in the White Mountains and as second layer for local runs, as well as for climbing on slightly chilly days. It really does it all! I like the that the thumb holes are nice for cold days in conjunction with gloves to lock in warmth, but aren’t so big that they feel breezy when you don’t use them. You can unzip and push the sleeves up if things get a bit warm to dump heat. They dry fairly quick too, and did I mention how comfy they are?! I’m usually smack between a small and medium but the small fits perfectly. I wish they were a bit cheaper, but the quality and price is on par with some of the other big-name clothing brands and I’d rather give my money to an independent, local company :)
