Kuiu Ultra Tiburon Shirt

[Humphr47]

All,
I need some feedback on this shirt. I have the 145 1/4 zip ultra merino long sleeve and I like it; bought it for an upcoming elk hunt in September. But I hunt Nevada archery season in August the majority of the time and I think the 145 will be too hot.

Is the ultra tiburon shirt worth it? Is it really more breathable than the merino? Should I do a 125 merino instead? A 130 pelaton?

Yes. It's definitely worth it. Great shirt that has great stretch and is incredibly breathable. I'd do the lightest Peleton short sleeve under it in the mornings.

It's pretty thin. Anything below 60 with a breeze and you will feel it

It's great for hunting in 65-75 degree weather where you need a long sleeve. I wear mine fishing all the time!

I wear a Merino 125 SS underneath mine. It works great! Love the breath-ability.

i think youre just fine with the 145 half zip for both the elk and nevada hunt. i have the tiburon top, 145 merino, 125 merino and 130 peloton top and the shirt i wear the least is the tiburon. im usually hunting in high 80s/90 degree heat and when wearing it as a base layer for me it doesnt breathe well enough when hiking plus it doesnt soak up perspiration either. so as a result i find my back drenched in sweat and feel clammy, its even worse with a pack on. the merino and peloton will soak up the perspiration and so i run much more comfortable. i do like the tiburon top as a lightweight 2nd layer. for our climate its perfect for that. for merino I like the 145 vs the 125 because the half zip helps you dump a ton of heat even though the 125 is supposed to be lighter and cooler, the 20 gram difference is hardly noticeable. in merino vs peloton id rank the 130 peloton a little cooler than the merino, but it will stink quicker if you are on a backpack hunt. high 90s with no wind though i will wear the peloton its the most comfortable when its really hot. it dries really quickly too so if theres a a chance of showers on a dayhunt thats my choice. sizing wise i wear XL in all the tops, the peloton though is a touch snugger than the other tops. thats what ive found with their base layers hope that helps

Thanks everyone for the solid info!

What are you thoughts on this: A pelaton 130 short sleeve with the pelaton arm warmers? In August, I really only need the long sleeve for covering up bright white arms on a archery stalk. I'm thinking that set up would be better than the Tiburon.
