For a shirt that claims patented anti-insect bite technology, superior moisture-wicking capability, crease reistance and UPF 40+ sun protection, the Sentry shirt looks surprisingly modest.
Take a closer look though and the travel-friendly features start to reveal themselves: for instance, instead of buttons, which snag and eventually fall off, the front and cuffs are fastened with poppers - a flap hiding those down the front of the shirt.
Putting the Sentry on, the first impression is of its lack of either weight or restriction to movement – no doubt thanks to the 83% polyester, 17% polyamide fully synthetic material the shirt is made of. Other benefits include crease resistance, small packability, excellent wicking performance to keep your skin dry when the going gets hot, and UPF 40+ sun protection so you can stay out even when the sun is high in the sky.
Another benefit of the Sentry's excellent wicking properities is that it is very quick drying - good news for getting caught in summer storms, as well as giving it a wash in hotel rooms and still being able to put on a dry shirt in the morning.
Further reinforcing the Sentry's usefulness for travel – especially in muggy, buggy climes – is Rohan's Biteguard technology, which will stop mosquitos and ticks from making a meal out of you when you're eating al fresco yourself.
The Sentry is also available in blue.
