That just about rules out everything except Merino. I have a couple older Cabela's MTP t-shirts that I use in the summer when I don't want a sopping wet cotton t-shirt that work well, but they do have the stench after a day of sweating in them.

The under armor "heat gear" Ts I have are my go to shirts but the are the loose fitting style, dry quick and can be found on sale. Dont use much of the UA base layers anymore but still really like the t shirts.

I like the UA charged cotton. They still contain cotton but dry a lot quicker than regular shirts and seem cooler than all cotton. I found some this winter in Cabela's bargain cave for $10.

I use an adidas climalite sleeveless on my hikes in. I havent had any issues with it getting stinky and it dries super fast. I have underarmour heat gear shirts and the adidas is much better, its thinner, lighter, more stretchy and dries faster. I use both for workouts and the adidas is just all around better.
Pyro I am digging it. Check the prices out also. Right up my alley

UA synthetics are good. There are also some cheaper with similar material made by the other athletic companies like Russell, Champion, etc. I really like merino, but usually got with a synthetic short sleeved t because they have a slight edge on comfort.

I love first lite as much as the next guy but 60 bucks for a SS t shirt is to rich for my blood.

I've got a number of Duofold T shirts. I have them in brown and tan. I used them for work in my uniforms and they are the best shirts I've ever owned. I paid about $10/shirt for them. They are getting hard to find, but Campmor has them every now and then.

No joke. Merino wool is fantastic, and certain peices are worth the money, but with the availibility of cheap synthetics for 15$+/-, I cant do the $60 T's either.
SHTF, how does the Terramar Helix stuff fit?
