Hi-Tec Salt Creekimage/Hi-Tec

For a long-sleeve shirt made for performance, Hi-Tec will bring the Salt Creek Shirt to retailers in Spring 2011. The Hi-Tec Salt Creek Shirt is made from a lightweight nylon that dries quickly and wicks your perspiration away. The shirt has three sizable vents placed in the upper back. The vents also aid with wicking and drying, because it increases air circulation.

The Hi-Tec Sal Creek Shirt has a silky feel from the nylon material. Its best use is for fall hiking and fishing. You will inevitably wear some water from the creek from casting your line, reeling in a nice-sized trout and cleaning your catch. Wipe the fish gunk from your hands right on the Salt Creek Shirt, because it will come out in the wash. The long sleeve Hi-Tec Salt Creek Shirt will retail for $59.95. Hi-Tec also will offer a short-sleeved version for $54.95.
