A technical, lightweight trail shirt engineered with advanced moisture-wicking fabric and integrated ventilation to provide maximum cooling during high-output outdoor activities.
The XTM Dunkeld is a high-performance alternative to traditional cotton outdoor shirts, specifically designed for the heat and humidity of Australian hiking trails. Constructed from a durable ripstop polyester blend, it features a mechanical stretch that allows for a full range of motion when scrambling or navigating steep terrain. The fabric is treated with a Quick-Dry finish and incorporates a strategic rear mesh-lined vent, which facilitates constant airflow across the back—the primary heat zone when wearing a backpack. Whether used for multi-day treks or tropical travel, the Dunkeld offers a professional aesthetic combined with the rugged technicality required for the backcountry.
Key Technical Features
-
Advanced Moisture Management: Utilises a fast-wicking synthetic blend that draws sweat away from the skin to the outer layer for rapid evaporation.
-
Rear Ventilation System: Features a discreet, horizontal mesh-lined vent across the upper back to prevent heat buildup, especially while carrying a pack.
-
UPF 50+ Sun Protection: The fabric weave provides a high physical barrier against harmful UVA and UVB rays, essential for long-exposure alpine or desert hikes.
-
Lightweight Ripstop Weave: Engineered with a reinforced cross-hatch pattern to prevent small nicks and tears from spreading in dense scrub.
-
Mechanical Stretch Fabric: Designed to provide flexibility without the use of heavy elastics, ensuring the shirt maintains its shape and "light-on-skin" feel.
-
Dual Chest Pockets: Includes secure storage with flap or zip closures for small essentials like maps, compasses, or sunblock.
-
Anti-Chafe Seams: Flat-locked and strategically placed seams reduce friction under backpack shoulder straps and hip belts.
-
Wrinkle-Resistant Finish: Ideal for travel and multi-day camping; the shirt resists creasing even after being compressed in a dry bag or rucksack.
