Merrell Grafton Shirt

One tester in our ranks pretty much despises heat and humidity, which of course presented us with the perfect opportunity. Last summer, we tossed him the Merrell Grafton and he went out into the ever-increasing summer humidity of Washington, DC, as well as a variety of warm-weather locales that satisfied his sense of wanderlust, but reinforced his disdain for sweating…while doing nothing.  And now? He’s honed in on the perfect summer uniform.  The 100-percent poly Grafton sits loosely and light, with a double layer of thin fabric at the shoulders that only improves the shirt’s breathability and wicking.  It also boasts a 20+ UPF treatment to help combat the sun’s other detrimental effects, while bias-cut shoulders, snap-close buttons (including one breast pocket), and a variety of pattern options make it a go-to for hot-weather traveling, day hiking, and urban exploration.
