Greenlayer is a brand that boasts an environmentally-responsible ethos in their product creation, "We strive to shift the thought process of consumers into understanding that environmentally conscious products do not mean a sacrifice in performance, style, and comfort." I bought three shirts from Greenlayer: ice blue, royal blue and a long sleeve charcoal tshirt. Yes, they are definitely comfortable, a good-looking style, and they work as stated being of a "super soft moisture-wicking fabric," which honestly is much more comfortable than cotton shirts to wear and work out in, hike in, and generally sweat in, the material doesn't get that wet feeling or stick to you as you move, and it's so light that it feels airy and breathable.
The shirts are made from a blend of 50% recycled polyester and 50% polyester, retail for 24, or 30 for the long sleeve shirts, or substantially cheaper via Amazon. They've got several other styles and varieties on their site, and I definitely feel that I would pick up more of these articles of clothing.
On the ice blue shirt, the Greenlayer logo on the right chest seems to be peeling away after only a few washes. Not that this is a big deal, but it just makes the shirt look more worn out than it really is.
Another note is that several random strings came out along the stitching in one sleeve.
I bought size small and it is essentially what would be a medium for most other shirts, so I'm guessing all the other sizes run bigger, yet, this actually makes the shirts very comfortable to wear.
All in all, despite the above complaints, despite the thorny tears, I am happy with the Greenlayer products. I would certainly buy more, I'd just be careful when hiking through the brush not to get snared on raspberry thorns again. I still do recommend checking out this company, the shirts are really comfortable and worth giving a shot. They're essentially more for running and working out than they are hiking through the woods and brush.
Thanks again for reading!
