Why We Like The Chain Reaction Short-Sleeve T-Shirt

Named for Smith Rock's most photographed route, Outdoor Research's Chain Reaction Tee is exactly what we're looking for when we're gearing up for a climb. We're loving that it fights sweat and odor so we're still feeling fresh when we're thrutching up a route. UPF 50+ sun protection means you'll be protected from harsh sunlight, and a wicking and quick-drying performance will keep you cool in the heat.

Size down and you'll love it too

This shirt is great! I read the reviews and decided to size down on this shirt, I'm glad I did because it's perfect. Be aware this really is open in the back and flowy, so if you bend down without it tied, then you may show some side skin. I like leaving it loose. So many other outdoor shirts are tight around the belly, I can be as small or big around the belly as I am at that moment and it will always fit!

Split in the back

I had no idea this shirt had a giant split in the back. Your back is basically completely open. I was expecting a simple t-shirt that I could use for backpacking - negative. The back is mostly open and it ties at the bottom, which would be awful for backpacking. That being said, the shirt is very soft and would probably be pretty comfortable and breezy. Returning since it just isn't what I was looking for.

A good shirt for a comfortable walk.

On hot days, this tee allows air to circulate, keeping you cooler and dry. So comfortable to wear too!

Great tee for daily walk.

I wear this tee to keep me cool and dry on a hot day, when walking. It provides a loose and comfortable fit.

Weird back

I ended up returning it because it reminded me of a hospital exam gown.

Super soft, comfy and cute

I had reviews before purchasing and did read that this was boxy. I am petite and decided to order anyway, and purchased two in XS (two colors). And yes it is roomy and I still love it. The fabric is really soft and feels nice on my skin. And I tie it back at the waist, probably a bit more than is intended. But that makes for a nice shape - lose on the top, and fitted at the waist. One lconsideration, if you are going to wear this for yoga or any activity where you might lie on your back, then you will feel the knot in the back. Not a big deal, but good to think about in advance.

Love this shirt, but order a size smaller as they run large!

I love these shirts for working out or just casual wear. My boyfriend really likes the style on me, but they run large and kind of ride up your back if they are tied tight. They are breathable and flattering though. Also, hard to wear while driving because of the big knot in your back. While travelling, I tend to find myself un-tying and re-tying over and over again. At one point, I forgot my belt and tied the shirt through my back belt loop and it held my shirt in place and my pants, so win win. Now, I always do this. haha

Fashion meets function.

I thought I'd use this for climbing but didn't realize the back was flowy and open (should have looked at the photos). Still like this top but wear it for dog walks or as a change of clothing after getting after it. Super cute!
