Gear Review | UYN EVOLUTYON functional shirt

High-tech ski underwear

The new PowderGuide partner UYN (which stands for Unleash Your Nature) is probably unfamiliar to many PG readers. However, the popularity of the high-tech underwear from Italy can be seen, for example, in the fact that almost all World Cup skiers from various countries are wearing UYN equipment. We have tested how the EVOLUTYON shirt performs in freeride and touring use.

First impression

The shirt is made from slightly thicker material and is very stretchy and close-fitting, almost like a compression shirt. You'll also notice the areas that are made from a slightly bulkier material with a large surface area (such as the back), which helps to wick away moisture particularly well.

Tester & test conditions

I am 183cm tall and weigh just under 80kg. I tested the shirt in size L, which fits me well, but it shouldn't be any bigger. Due to the pronounced stretch properties, I think size M would also fit me well.

I have used it in the ski area for freeriding and piste skiing as well as on numerous ski tours.

Test report

The EVOLUTYON shirt fits very well and close to the body thanks to its close-fitting cut and highly stretchy material. This makes it ideal as a base layer in a layering system and also transports moisture away from the body very well. Of course, this is particularly good on ski tours, and overall I find the shirt very good for ascents. Of course I also sweat a lot, but the cut and material make it very comfortable and it dries very quickly.

It's a slightly warmer baselayer, but the EVOLUTYON shirt isn't really thick - as I said, I like to wear it on ski tours.
