Gear Review: Helly Hansen Pace SS Baselayer

A polypropylene/polyester blended baselayer that wicks away sweat.

Ultralight

When heat overwhelmed the wicking ability of other shirts, the polypropylene/polyester blend of Helly Hansen’s Pace SS kept our testers dry. “I stayed cool through a humid run, and the shirt dried faster than any I’ve worn,” says an Idaho tester. Plus, the smooth, flat-stitched seams didn’t chafe beneath pack straps. $45; 4.5 oz.; hellyhansen.com
