Royal Robbins Desert Pucker Long Sleeve

Bearing the renowned climber’s name, this brand brings classic styling into sunnier environments.  A worthy UPF50+ rating handles most conditions with luxurious Modal fabric drawn from beech wood fibers originating in Austria, no less.   Softer than more performance fabrics, the cloth in Pucker pulls sweat away and dries quickly in hotel room or tent.  Wrinkle resistance is superior and the standard issue chest pocket is of average utility.  Where Active Junky got fired up was Pucker’s all-day comfort, whether in a cramped bus or at a beachfront fire pit.  Twenty percent polyester helped Pucker stay in form through trying conditions.  Stain resistance of this fabric is subject to debate so butter-swamped lobster boils may not be the optimum pairing for this value-priced Royal Robbins shirt.
