Title: Banded Gear shirt opinions
Post by: troutfisher13111 on March 16, 2019, 08:21:53 AM
I am looking at adding the lightweight technical shirt from Banded Gear to my wardrobe. Anyone have any experience with it yet? I'm mainly wondering about how quiet it is and if the camo has a sheen to it. Thanks

I just ordered the Midweight shirt and pants.  My dad was at a local outdoor store a few days ago and I face timed him while he handled the fabric.  Said it was extremely quite and did have a slight stretch. 

The only thing that had me questioning it was that he said he literally could no tell the difference between the Mid-Weight and Light-Weight.  Said it felt the same and seemed to weigh the same.  There is no price difference in the two, so I went ahead with the mid-weight.  I already have some super light weight stuff, but wanted to get some Orig BTML in case I run into another late spring.

Ive got one in the new bottomland pattern and i like it.  Light weight, quiet and no issues with the pattern.  Ive only washed it a couple times though so dont know about the longevity of the print.  Also have one of their pull over 1/4 zip medium weight shirts, no issues their either.

If you have a lightweight 1/4 zipper mock pull-over with a zippered front pocket, I've been trying to replace a Russell top for years and haven't found anything even close. Too hot in S FL for most shirts.

The light weight pullover i have is not a 1/4 zip or have a pocket.  I have a couple of the performance 1/4 zips from Mossy oak but they dont have pockets either.  These are all i wear all year long and I am in South Florida as well.
