We've all been there. Mile 3 of your run, and your shirt feels like a wet towel. Or halfway up that trail, and you're already debating whether to turn back because you're overheating and uncomfortable. Sound familiar?
That's exactly why we created the Voyage Collection. These aren't just another set of moisture wicking shirts. They're problem-solvers for anyone who's tired of soggy, clingy, uncomfortable gear when they're trying to perform.
Why Moisture Wicking Shirts Actually Matter (And Why Other Shirts Don't Work)
Picture this: You're 20 minutes into your ride, and your regular cotton tee is already soaked. Now it's heavy, it's chafing, and every breeze feels cold instead of cooling. Game over.
Real moisture wicking shirts work differently. They don't just absorb sweat, they actively pull it away from your skin and help it evaporate. Think of it like having a personal cooling system built into your shirt.
What Makes Voyage Different:
- Micro-mesh drastically increases airflow across your entire upper body
- Featherweight fabric that actually stays put when you're moving hard
- 4-way stretch that moves with you instead of against you
- Quick-dry tech that works in real-world conditions
-
Odor-resistant so you can wear it again without clearing the room
Translation: These shirts keep working when you're working hard.

How to Choose the Right Moisture Wicking Shirt for You
Looking for the best running shirts, hiking shirts or biking tops? Here’s what to look for:
For runners: Focus on featherweight fabrics and targeted ventilation in high-sweat areas (like back and underarms).
For hikers: Look for longer sleeves or UPF-rated fabrics for sun protection, plus odor resistance for back-to-back trail days.
For bikers: Choose shirts that stretch, breathe, and dry quickly—and layer well with hydration packs or outer shells.
Voyage hits the sweet spot for all of the above.
The Bottom Line: Your Gear Should Help, Not Hinder
Here's what it comes down to: Life's too short for bad gear. Whether you're chasing PRs, exploring new trails or just trying to stay comfortable during your lunch break ride, your shirt should be the least of your worries.
The Voyage Collection isn't just about moisture wicking, it's about removing barriers between you and what you love to do. Because when your gear works, you can focus on what really matters: the pure joy of movement.

FAQ: Everything You Want to Know About Moisture Wicking Shirts
Q: What actually makes a shirt "moisture wicking"?
A: It's all about the fiber structure and fabric weave. Good moisture wicking shirts use specialized fibers that create capillary action—basically pulling sweat away from your skin and spreading it across the fabric surface where it can evaporate quickly.
Q: Are these shirts good for hot weather running?
A: Absolutely. The Voyage Collection is specifically designed for high heat and high output. The micro-mesh ventilation and ultra-light materials work together to keep you cool even when you're pushing hard.
Q: What's the difference between running shirts and hiking shirts?
A: Running shirts prioritize minimal weight and unrestricted movement. Hiking shirts focus more on durability, sun protection, and odor control for longer wear. Voyage bridges both worlds—light enough for running, tough enough for hiking.
Q: Can I wear these shirts multiple days on the trail?
A: Yes. The odor-resistant and quick-dry properties make them perfect for repeat wears during longer trips. Just rinse and hang dry if needed.
Q: How should I care for moisture wicking shirts?
A: Wash in cold water, skip the fabric softener (it clogs the fibers), and air dry when possible. This preserves the performance features and extends the life of the shirt.
