PrAna Revere Long Sleeve T-Shirt
As summer verges into fall, you are pulling on the long-sleeved tops.
A friend years ago had a scoop-neck prAna top that she said she used all the time.
“It’s in there every wash,” she said.
You wear a shirt every time you climb. While hers had three-quarter-length sleeves, as summer melds into fall—sorry but true, it’s begun—you are pulling out the long-sleeved ones.
The Revere Long Sleeve T-Shirt is just a nice, lightweight, silky item, a go-to you might find is in the laundry every time. Scoop necks are always great for layering, because they come on and off without pulling your hair ties or clips—hate hair blowing in your eyes on a climb—off or cockeyed. The scoop neck is also just a graceful look. Scalloped hem is flattering as well.
This is performance wear, is moisture-wicking and anti-odor, 100 percent polyester. It fits over a cami or T. But it is a workhorse mainly because it is soft and light.
The sleeves are super long, which is always nice, with thumb holes, though this tester has never used ’em. Single problem here is that between the sleeves being long and the fabric and thread silky, belay gloves with Velcro closures can keep catching at the wrist, creating picks and scuffs around the cuffs. You have to pay attention, to bother making it a habit, to put on your gloves with some care and match up the tabs well.
Rock and Ice vigorously tests all gear it reviews for either 50 days or 50 pitches. This is a time-consuming process and limits the amount of new equipment we can present to our readers. Every year hundreds of new products hit store shelves, and most of these aren’t reviewed due to our stringent selection and review process. To better keep you more up to date on what is new, we present First Look. Gear in First Look has not always been field tested, but is gear we think you’d like to know about as soon as it is available. Some of the gear will be reviewed using our 50 days/50 pitches criteria, in future print and online editions of Rock and Ice. We have opted to use affiliate links in our gear reviews. Every time you buy something after clicking on links in our gear articles you’re helping support our magazine.
