Ajax Henley

Outside Magazine- The Gear Guy's Favorite Synthetic Base Layers

Outside Magazine gear guru Joe Jackson loves this shirt:

• "While the Ajax has been on countless inclement ski tours and rainy trail runs with me, I really fell in love with it on a blazing-hot day of spring skiing. Being a henley, it allowed me to dump a good amount of heat when I opened the four snaps below the collar once I started sweating. On cold days, the extra-thin polyester wicks moisture from my skin with the best of them, while also feeling cottony smooth. On top of that, the Ajax [is competitive] when it comes to style, thanks to the snaps and stripes. And it earns bonus points for being handmade in Minnesota."
