A summer-ready button-down built around the KÜHL OPTIMIZR construction — quick-dry stretch fabric in a stylish tapered fit with mini stripe melange detail and a reduced modern collar. The performance short-sleeve that reads as appropriate beyond the trail.
The fabric is 86% Polyester, 14% Spandex (130 GSM) with 4-way mechanical stretch for real freedom of motion. The construction delivers quick-dry performance and high moisture-wicking, finished with UPF 40 sun protection. Tapered fit. Durable grosgrain ribbon through the center-front buttons adds a signature touch.
Standout features:
- UPF 40 sun protection — meaningful UV coverage for long days outside
- 4-way mechanical stretch — real freedom of motion
- Quick dry + high moisture-wicking — handles heat and sweat without piling up
- Mini stripe melange pattern — reads as casual button-down rather than athletic
- Reduced modern collar — refined silhouette
- Durable grosgrain ribbon through center-front buttons — Kuhl signature construction detail
- Tapered fit — modern cut
Right pick for hiking, summer travel, daily warm-weather rotation, and casual office settings where a button-down needs to bridge active and refined contexts.
