Description of Norrøna Bitihorn Technical Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Women's:
There’s the synthetic shirt that has a lame, wash-out wicking treatment (which can also pollute the water), and then there’s the Norrøna Women’s Bitihorn Technical Shirt. Norrøna combined the recycled polyester fabric with woven copper fibers which kill icky microscopic organisms, bacteria, and funghi. And the fibers won’t wash out, so you can wear the Bitihorn on runs and hikes year after year without enduring the usual synthetic stink.

Bottom Line: Good for the nose, good for the environment.
I have a hard time finding short-sleeve running shirts that fit me well - this one is perfect. It is the perfect amount of tight, a perfect length, it wicks wonderfully, and it doesn't bunch or chaffe. I wore it for the first time on a 17-mile trail run and it performed amazingly!!! I just wish they made more colors and maybe a sleeveless and long sleeve version so I could stock up! I am 5'6" 120 lbs and I ordered a size XS.
As a 6" tall woman, I have the hardest time shopping for clothing, especially shirts and technical shirts seem to be the hardest to find. This is one of the few brands of technical shirts that is actually long enough for me. If you are a tall woman, this shirt is for you.
