Bargain Trip'r - my new favorite shirt

IT’S NOT GRAY, IT’S PEBBLE!I stopped by my local Gander Mountain outdoor store tonight on a whim and - SCORE - found an ExOfficio Trip’r for $40 (marked down from $70). I haven’t seen them online for less than $55. It’s made of the same super-light fabic as the Air Strip Lite shirts but doesn’t look like a fishing shirt. In fact it looks much better than I would have guessed. It’s definitely going on the plane. Gray (pebble) was all they had. I’d prefer white but gray works - I like to wear gray with khaki or brown. My wife doesn’t like my color palette, but I guess that’s the price she’ll have to pay for my carrying her bag all the time. I’ll post some pictures soon. Unfortunately the Trip’r is only available for men but I believe ExOfficio makes several womens’ shirts in the same fabric.

 

Fabric Dryflylite — 80% Nylon / 20% Polyester. 2.5 oz/sq yd Imported.
