Haglöfs L.I.M Tech Tee | Review

A lightweight t-shirt that’ll suit fast hikers, lightweight backpackers and runners

Why we chose the Haglofs L.I.M Tech Tee: Sustainably made, fast-drying, comfortable.

This is one of many items in Haglöf’s extremely impressive L.I.M collection, a line comprising kit designed for fast and light performance.

We’ve tested a bunch of L.I.M kit over the last few years, including the L.I.M GTX jacket and their L.I.M backpack too. This time, we thought their nice n’ simple t-shirt deserved a mention. It’s lightweight, it’s supremely comfortable and, as we’ve come to expect from L.I.M kit, there are a bunch of subtly impressive performance aspects to like.

Materials and Construction

First of all, the material is super quick-drying. It also comes with a permanent anti-odour treatment, so if you do get any sweat build up, the nasty smell-causing bacteria is prevented from multiplying. And that ultimately means you can wear this more and wash it less – do your bit for the environment and all that. 

Speaking of sustainability, the L.I.M Tech Tee is also made from 100% recycled polyester and comes with a bluesign industry mark which recognises items that are produced to very strict environmental and ethical standards.

Tester’s Verdict

Will Renwick, editor of Outdoors Magic

I’ve got a bunch of Haglofs L.I.M tech tees and I’m a big fan of them. In fact, I wore the 2021 edition for almost three weeks straight last year on my successful attempt to run all 189 of Wales’s mountains in one continuous journey – and it didn’t let me down.



“This new version is comfortable, the seams are carefully designed so they won’t niggle against your skin, it’s really fast drying and the anti-odour treatment does seem to work. It does seem a little closer fitting than the last edition. I’m 5 foot 10, fairly athletic and I found that the size M, which is my usual size, is a little tighter than I’d like. I think if I was going to get another one of these I’d probably size up.
