UL Kami Shirt - Pine Green

The UL Kami Shirt is a characteristically clever ultralight shirt from Yamatomichi. Don't be fooled by that fairly unassuming, casual shape, up close this is a finely tuned performance piece designed for those who travel light and go far. The first thing to talk about is the fabric-with nylon giving softness and strength, while a Japanese paper known as washi helps to absorb and expel moisture and retain a light, dry handle, avoiding the clinginess or transparency of synthetic fabrics. It helps to reduce odor too, making it ideal for trekking shirts that are worn day after day.

Press studs down the front allow for easy ventilation on the move, while the button on the collar means it can be popped-up to keep the breeze or the sun off your neck. Think of it as a unique alternative to an ultralight windshell-perfect for long days on the trail.

Due to the way the washi fabric reacts to sunlight, these can fade a little over time, but that's only part of their charm-think of it as a nice memento of the miles you've wandered.
