Black diamond equipment revealed the new Rhythm ultralightweight Merino wool T-shirt for both men and women at last year’s Outdoor Retailer summer market.
It’s made from a yarn consisting of a nylon core, wrapped in wool (57% Nylon, 43% Merino Wool). This NuYarn dries five times faster than standard Merino and is 35% more stretchy.
Offered in Nickel and Black colors.

During a recent trip to Ottawa I purchased this short sleeved shirt at Mountain Coop. I really like the construction and materials. It’s made from a slightly stretchy and quite confortable, blended cotton twill (150 g/m2, 68% cotton, 27% polyester, 5% spandex) which combines with underarm panels designed to keep the shirt from riding up during a reach. Additionally, it uses slotted buttons and features a low profile, inset chest pocket.
Offered in Burnt Olive (seen above), Slate (I purchased the Grey hued option) and Denim (the color, not the fabric). Sizes are limited at blackdiamondequipment.coml so you may need to check retailers like Amazon, Backcountry and Moosejaw.
