We compare a Brynje and Finetrack synthetic short sleave "mesh" baselayer for warmer weather hiking to see if they help with moisture management and keep us cooler. Finetrack calls their next-to-skin layer an Elemental Layer (not a baselayer).
Both have seen increased popularity with hikers as they discover that a more "open weave" fabric helps transfer vapor sweat to the 2nd layer where it can evaporate faster than when the next-to-skin layer just stays wet. Try searching for Brynje or Finetrack "Mesh Baselayer" on YT.
We try the mesh layers under a synthetic shirt, which we normally wear on it's own.

The results:
Both stayed relatively dry and transferred sweat moisture to our outer layer as intended so we did not have that feeling of a wet layer stuck to our skin.
We found the Brynje t-shirt gets too warm for us above about 65 deg F. When we began sweating, it stayed pretty dry and transferred moisture to our outer layer as intended. It felt like it was holding heat and insulating more than we wanted. We think the Brynje weave is overall more durable and probably shines in cooler temperatures.
We found the Finetrack t-shirt quite a bit cooler. Not a big suprise since it is thinner and lighter. We were able to wear it into the 80s (deg F) no problem.
