Why Choose Specialised Hiking Shirts for Ladies?

Specialised hiking clothing, including women’s hiking trousers, use technical fabrics to enhance the hiking experience. Here are just some of the benefits offered by many of Columbia’s hiking shirts:

• Prevents chafing and dampness by moving moisture away from the skin
• Delivers built-in UV protection
• Repels water and stains
• Provides odour management.

Hiking shirts can also be worn as part of the effective layering system. By wearing your shirt as a mid-layer over a thermal base-layer and under a waterproof outer shell, you can adapt to changing weather conditions with ease.
