Outdoor Research blended polyester and merino wool to give the Women's Essence Zip Tee its soft feel, excellent warmth, and fast moisture-wicking properties. A FreshGuard odor neutralization treatment keeps the funk factor to a minimum whenever you head into the mountains with the midweight Essence Zip Tee. Once you get your hands on this Outdoor Research top, you'll take it on any outside adventure.

Bottom Line: Stay dry and fresh as a flower in the Essence Zip Tee.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Stinkless Polyester!!!

By:
April 20, 2012

I have had two versions of this shirt and the fit is significantly better than in past years. The torso is longer as are the arms.

It has a great feel to it as well--soft like organic cotton--and has more warmth to it than a basic polyester tshirt.

The thing that I absolutely love about this shirt is how it does not hold stink. Don't get me wrong, I own 2 Patagonia Capaliene baselayers and I prefer the weight of it. But I can't wear them more than 3 hrs because they start to smell AWFUL--no matter how much I wash them the stink never really goes away.

I have not run into that issue with this shirt. It is lightweight so when I need a heavier baselayer, I still go to my Capaliene 3. Once OR starts making this in a heavier weight, I'll ditch my Cap 3 in a heartbeat for something a little less stinky!
