I ride horses and am outside in the heat, sun, and humidity. I recently bought two 100% merino wool long sleeve women's shirts from Quince. They are working out so well. I've noticed they dry quickly and they don't hold onto smell the way my long sleeve polyester shirts do. And I really like the fit. Unfortunately, it looks like Quince has discontinued the shirts for now, so I'm looking into some other brands to use for the same purpose. Does anyone have recommendations on which brands/shirts will cover what I'm looking for? During my search, I've also learned a bit about superwashing. Should I be trying to avoid that? Merino Tech seems like it has some good options at reasonable prices, but they may be superwashing their material. And Dilling has some options, but they are very expensive. I'd appreciate any info that can help me narrow my search.
