While there are plenty of tech-infused flannel shirts out there, the Mountain Hardwear Plusher ($85, mens & women’s versions) still brings plenty of warmth and comfort for three-season wear.
Constructed using bluesign®-approved organic cotton in a heavy blanket-weave, the Plusher will keep you plenty toasty on its own for the shoulder seasons. Paired with a base layer, it really becomes a dependable go-to mid layer in the coldest weather. While I would not take it along on any high exertion activities that may over stress its inability to shed heat and perspiration, it’s going to be perfect for travel, getting to and from home to the crag or the ski hill, or for bundling up around the fire in the evening.
I have 3 Plushers hanging in my closet now in varying colors. I inevitably find myself flipping past lighter weight or tech-focused flannels to pull one on over a tech tee. I can trust it to keep me plenty warm for runs to the woodpile or the beer fridge, and to shed off dirt and wood chips like they weren’t there.
