Is the Dawn Patrol shirt good for hiking?

Yes for cool and mild weather. The twill resists light brush and the chest pockets are handy, but it is cotton, so it dries slowly and is a poor choice for hot, sweaty hikes.

How does the classic fit run?

It is cut roomy through the chest and body, so it layers over a tee easily. Slimmer builds often size down for a closer fit.

Does it shrink in the wash?

The fabric is pre-washed, which limits shrinkage. Wash cold and tumble low to keep the fit consistent.

Is it warm enough on its own?

It works as a standalone shirt on mild days and as a light layer over a tee. In cold wind you will want a jacket or vest over it.

One long-sleeve shirt. It is a single garment, not a bundled set.

How does it compare with a flannel?

It is lighter and less insulating than a heavy flannel, with a smoother twill face. Think of it as a step between a poplin shirt and a flannel.

Our take on the Eddie Bauer Men's Dawn Patrol Long-Sleeve Shirt

The Eddie Bauer Dawn Patrol is a men's long-sleeve shirt in mid-weight cotton twill, pre-washed for softness from the first wear. It has a classic fit, a button front and button-closure chest pockets, and it is built for outdoor wear rather than office polish. Against flannel and lightweight hiking shirts, it splits the difference: sturdier than a poplin, lighter than a heavy flannel. Owners treat it as a layer for cool mornings and a standalone shirt on mild days.
