If we have any hope of a thriving planet—much less a business—it is going to take all of us doing what we can with the resources we have. This is what we can do.
I love this shirt! I got three of them and they’re great for outdoor activities. I like that the ‘split’ at the bottom of the sides is filled in with material too.
I have three of these, bought them as MTB jerseys but they are also great for running and hiking. I am a skinny 6', I can fit a Medium but prefer the slightly baggy fit of the large. These stay soft after many washes, overall a great shirt.
The Cool Trail Shirt is wonderful for trail workouts in the summer here in North Carolina. It allows good moisture transfer and is very comfortable fabric that is easy to care for.
I bought 3 of these about 6 months ago so I feel I have a good understanding of how these perform.
Pro’s: The fit is excellent. They don’t shrink and the fabric dries quickly.
Cons:
- They are pretty see through. If you have tattoos or birthmarks on your torso. You will see them through the fabric.
- They don’t breathe very well. I notice a s... Read Moreubstantial difference wearing these as opposed to cotton shirts.
- They stink up very quickly. I wash them according to care instructions and also add some vinegar from time to time as noted on Patagonia’s website. It does help for a wear or two but eventually they smell after each wear. I don’t have this problem with cotton.
Overall I wouldn’t buy these again and would not recommend them for casual use.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review and we are incredibly sorry to hear about the issues you encountered with this product. Please know that you are more than welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.ca/returns.html) your shirt at any time as we want all of our customers to be completely satisfied with all of their Patagonia purchases.

Needs improvement
These shirts have a great look and feel, but they're not warm enough. I bought these shirts as an alternative to merino wool after switching to vegan products. They're nice in mild temperatures, but I recently did the Everest Base Camp Trek with these shirts and they weren't warm enough. You can layer, but each layer needs to have go... Read Moreod thermal properties or the overall layering will fall short. It would be great if Patagonia could design a vegan alternative to merino wool, even it if leans to the warmer side. The Daily Graphic shirts are thinner and can easily be used for warmer hiking conditions. It's cold hiking conditions where there is currently a gap with vegan products.
Hi Allen, thank you for submitting this review. We're sorry this shirt wasn't right for your trip! You're correct, the Cap Cool Trail Shirt is designed for high-output activities in cool to hot conditions, and not suited for Everest (congratulations, BTW!). For a hike under those conditions you might prefer the Capilene Thermal Weight fabric, which is our warmest vegan baselayer. If you want additional breathability the Capilene Midweight shirts would be a good option, though slightly less warm. Our Customer Service Team will be happy to help with a consultation either by phone or via live chat. In the meantime, if you like you are welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.ca/returns.html) this one.

Capilene Cool Trail Shirt
This is a fabulous t-shirt. It fits well and is very attractive. The fabric dries very quickly. Would buy several if more colors and inventory were available.
The material of this shirt is a bit thick and feels soft but plastic-y. It doesn't breath/wick particularly well. I keep searching for the right Patagonia t-shirt, but the search continues.
We appreciate your feedback and we're sorry that the material has been disappointing in performance. We'll reach out to you by email to provide further assistance and discuss other options for you. Thanks for taking the time to send us a review, Stuart!
I use this shirt mainly for exercise, and it's the perfect weight and fit for the job!
I also own a few of the capilene wool blends, which for me personally felt a bit too thin. Those are great for the blistering heat, but tear a bit too easily and leave little to the imagination.
This trail shirt feels like a much better balancing point bet... Read Moreween lightness and durability/opacity. The only thing I'll say -- if you're a heavy sweater, everybody with eyes will know! I guess it means the moisture-wicking is working as designed, so no complaints here.
I was so excited to see this shirt in my size. It fits great and has an a relaxed but fitted collar. So often larger sizes have massive collars making them unwearable in my opinion. The construction is top-notch, and material has been great for hikes and runs.
For the last 10 years I have been wearing merino wool t-shirts, I am slowly phasing out the wools for cool trail shirts. The durability of the cool trail is superior to merino.
These are my favorite shirts to do any sort of physical activity in. I much prefer these over the capilene cool daily shirts, as they feel a bit more like a regular cotton t shirt and look nicer. They are also more durable. If you have muscles you'll need to size up in these.
I buy T-shirts from Patagonia because it's a sustainable company and a moral company. I like the shirt and the color. What else can you say about a t-shirt?
This is the heaviest capilene shirt I've found from the past few years. A little thin, and a little clingy, but it fits well and it's comfortable.
I really want Patagonia to bring back the 2012 Polarized Tee. It is almost perfection.
The shirts have a really nice fit with flat seams so there is no rubbing. They are made out of a light weight polyester. They easily hand wash and air dry. I usually just throw them in the washer at home and hang them to dry. I really like they way they wick away perspiration without getting a wet feeling. They make a great base layer under fleece ... Read Morejackets. I recently bought two more because of the way they perform.
I was pleasantly surprised that this is a slightly different material than the other cap cool shirts. It is woven in a way that feels a little thicker but is still extremely breathable for hot days. I use this shirt and the original cap cool for working outdoors and I would recommend this trail version a part of your go-to warm weather work wear. W... Read Morehen you are out in the brush it feels significantly more durable than the original cap cool. But, you should stick to the original cap cool if you are looking for a river/sun/beach oriented shirt because they feel slightly lighter and are slightly more comfortable while wet.
Well made shirt. The fabric was heavier than I expected which will make it more durable backpacking, but also warmer. It's a bit heavier than the Cool Daily Shirt. and I expected the reverse. (Could have read the specs more closely!) I expect it will last a long, long time.
While I'm glad Patagonia uses recycled material, the material used for the latest version of the Cool Trail T clings like the wet plastic bag that it is. Ever have a cheap thin plastic shower curtain cling to your body while showering? It's kind of like that. The size is true, the cut is good, and the guarantee can't be beat. But com... Read Morepared to my 2019 version of the Cool Trail T, this latest model just clings when wet/sweaty. In fact, it even clings to itself when dry and folded! Sadly, this one has to go back and I'll hope that Patagonia switches to a softer, less-clingy fabric in the next iteration.
Hi Michael, thank you for submitting this review. Feedback is very helpful to other customers in making decisions. In addition, our Design Team sees our customer feedback, so the thoughts you're sharing will go to the right place. We're sorry this new fabric wasn't a hit for you, but glad to see you're returning the shirt. Please let us know if we can be of any further help!

It's not like I remember Capilene
I visited Patagonia website recently to order some additional Capilene tee shirts for upcoming travel. I already had a blue Capilene that is now over 10 years old. Remembering how well it worked in hot and cold conditions, keeping me comfortable and dry while also keeping its shape and size through many washings, I decided to order two new Capilene... Read More in M. When the two shirts arrived, I was disappointed with the cotton-like feel, the thinness of the material, and the too-tight fit. The shirts were nothing like my good old Capilene. I worked with Customer service to set up an exchange for the Large size. I received the Large shirts in reasonable time, but my opinion did not change. Patagonia has moved to a different material with its new line of Capilene- and it is nowhere near the quality or appearance of my old favorite. I won't buy any more of these.
Love this shirt's feel, even running with a vest for longer distances and racing ultras. It's comfortable, not super-fast drying but just right for fall and spring temperate conditions.
A great all-season shirt. Has good weight to it for fall and early spring riding, but I've been using it in the North Carolina summers and it's thrived there too. The fit is athletic without being too slim, allowing a lot of airflow when riding which I love. Sweat wicking and breathability are on point. The shirt is much more of a grey co... Read Morelor with a hint of green - it's not as overtly green as it appears online.
Feels great when you put it on, but terrible moisture management. Retains sweat, gets super wet and clingy, and sweat then drains down onto your shorts. Capileine cool daily works better, as do (cheaper) shirts from other companies.
Thank you so much for leaving this review! We are also very sorry to hear that this item did not fully perform the way it should have. Please know you are always welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) an item at any time if it does not function the way it should.

Fabulous Attire
These shirts are ideal for a variety of activities.
Happy with the shirt color and fit. Would buy again.
Though they do feel a bit different (maybe not quite as cool-feeling) than the long sleeved hooded capilene shirt I've had for years.
This shirt is absolutely the best type of synthetic T I ever found. Most of the efforts by others to accomplish this seemingly simple task usually either choose the wrong fabric (too hot, doesn't breathe, sticks to skin, etc) or completely screw up the cut or all of the above. I don't know why that is, but I do know I will be after more o... Read Moref these as I currently only have one. Good job.
The best tech tee ever. Fits great, feels soft and breathable, doesn't smell and looks pretty much like a regular cotton t shirt. Literally checks all of the boxes
As said in another review, I've been wearing Patagonia Capilene shirts for at least 15 years. Ever since they changed the naming scheme of these shirts (e.g. Capilene 1, Capilene 2, etc) it's been difficult to parse exactly what each shirt is.
This particular Capilene Cool Trail Shirt has been unnecessarily changed from the original des... Read Moreign. The seams are still in the same place but the fabric of the shirt is no longer reminiscent of the Capilene fabric that I'm used to. It's more of a soft heathered cotton feel rather than a sweat-wicking synthetic feel. Also, I've been purchasing XXL sizes from Patagonia for as long as I've been a customer ... the XXL version of this shirt is way shorter than anything else I've ever purchased ... even shorter than regular XL.
Maybe someday Patagonia will get back to what they used to do. Maybe supply chain issues are affecting what they can vs. can't manufacture. No hard feelings against the company here but I typically support companies that I can expect consistency from. I'll be looking at other clothing companies for a sweat-wicking synthetic trail shirt because it seems like Patagonia has just gone in a different direction with this one.
The Cool Trail T-shirt has become my favorite shirt to wear. Fits perfectly and is superbly comfortable, especially here in Florida where the heat and humidity are so blooming high.
Patagonia Capilene has become my favorite shirt for hiking. The shirt dries and wicks likes a synthetic, but feels like cotton. They are so soft and comfortable that they feel just like cotton, but they wick moisture well and dry quickly. This is also my favorite shirt for travel because you can wash them in a hotel sink, hang them up to dry, and t... Read Morehey will dry overnight. The shirt has managed to keep me cool in both dry and humid climates. Overall just a great performing comfortable shirt. So far I have only purchased the short sleeve version (x4), but I am tempted to buy a long sleeve version as well.
Love this very comfortable shirt. I would have given 5 stars except for the uncomfortable care labels that were difficult to remove with a seam ripper. I wish they would change to polyester labels.
I wear these shirts in the swamps of Florida - SUPER humid and hot. They are very comfortable, very lightweight, and stay as dry as possible in those conditions. When it's 95% humidity nothing wicks well, but this is still much better than cotton. At least towards the end of the day, it will start drying off whereas cotton stays wet, heavy, an... Read Mored nasty the entire time. The only wish I have would be for Patagonia to make these in lighter colors to reflect the sun and heat. Darker colors in Florida's heat just makes you hotter and more miserable.
Do not buy this shirt. Its completely see-through. Thats not an exaggeration. I would attach a photo to prove it if that was an option. I love Patagonia products, so this one was surprising and disappointing. Again, entirely see-through. It's basically a mesh shirt.
We're truly sorry to hear this! We went ahead and reached out to you via email to offer some help with your return. We also passed your thoughts along to our Design Team. Thank you so much for your feedback.

Perfect shirt for night runs
Slightly heavier than the cool daily shirts, the trail shirt is perfect for running when its not too hot, and great as a base layer
I wore two of these on a two- month road trip, each for a week between washes. Two months of backpacking and sleeping outside with sponge baths and occasional shower. And no stink. No holes. They're very comfortable, soft but durable, and they are as resistant to odor as my merino clothing.
Super comfy, durable and unlike most synthetics these don't get funky smelling. As my many merino products wear out and get moth-eaten, they're being replaced by these.
I love this fabric because it is not hot or cold, dries quickly and looks casual too. Looks like a regular T shirt but works great for outdoor activites. The anti odor properties work pretty well, but not as great as regular cotton tee
I have owned many of these overtime. I prefer certain colors -- such as this Navy Blue. It is fabulous for yard work, welding, exercise, running, fly fishing, as an under layer on cold days and for hanging out.
I wore this shirt for about three months straight while on a NOLS trip. Worn it on probably 50 other days in the backcountry too. It keeps me cool, keeps me comfortable, doesn't chafe, doesn't get too stinky. Wear it at home plenty too. Would recommend.
Overall I like the fit of this shirt and I really appreciate the focus on reducing the environmental impact of making the shirt. The only thing that was different than what I expected is that the shirt is a little less stretchy than I was expecting. Not uncomfortably so. If that is a function of the more sustainable materials used to make it, than ... Read Moreit is certainly worth it. If there was a way to make it a bit stretchier without increasing the environmental impact, I would suggest that.
My 2nd cool trail shirt and not disappointed. The size medium runs a little long for me at 5'6" but fit in the shoulders is great. And I love the blue color, wish more jackets/shirts came in it. Great for casual wear downtown or out hiking.
I just received this shirt in Industrial Green and Im disappointed to see that the color is noticeably lighter than my other ones. I own two other industrial green cool trail shirts and both are a darker, forest green. This new version is more of a grayish green/lighter green. Ive been buying these shirts as my main go to for a few years now and it... Read Mores disappointing to see inconsistencies in the sizing and coloration. Overall, these are great shirts, but keep in mind the colors change and the description of the colors on the website does not change with them.
This one fits tighter and the material is heavier than the capilene daily shirt. I prefer this heavier material for hiking with a backpack but its not as cool and breathable as the capilene daily shirt
My husband has a large head and wide neck. This shirts neck opening was far too small and constricting. He loves Patagonia but these did not work. Had to return.
Hello Jacqueline, we appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry the shirt did not work out. We do have garment measurements on this end and will be happy to provide neck measurements for reference in the future.

Runs short
I got two of these shirts as I was tired of sweating through old band t-shirts in hot yoga classes. I went with a size small because product description said regular fit as opposed to slim fit.

I have 4 of these shirts, and they are by far my go-to for hiking/ climbing or working out. I purchased size M for when I am training MMA to have a tighter fit, so it does not get caught in my opponents' arms. Overall I am delighted with this shirt.
Rhesse
I had an XXL size but lost weight and it became too large so I ordered an XL. It seems like the fit has changed and now the XL feels a bit tight in the shoulders and not really long enough when I lift my arms above my head. Overall the fit just is not perfect. Maybe it will stretch out a bit in the shoulder area after repeated wears. Also had exten... Read Moresive pilling on the back after just one wear. I can only imagine that will get a lot worse. I looked at my XXL from 5 years ago and it still doesn't have a single pill on the fabric at all. I think overall the quality continues to go down on Patagonia stuff.
Hi Lowell, we're so sorry to hear about your experience with the Men's Capilene® Cool Trail Shirt. Pilling can be more noticeable on this item. To prevent pilling, we recommend washing that item either by hand in cool to cold water, or separately in your washing machine on the gentle cycle. It's best to lay it flat to dry rather than place it in the dryer where the fabric can easily get abraded.
To remove pilling that has already occurred, a sweater shaver or sweater stone is an excellent tool and can help the garment look brand new again.
Of course, if you are not pleased with the performance of your Capilene® Cool Trail Shirt, you are absolutely welcome to send it in for a warranty returns evaluation under our Ironclad Guarantee, https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html.

Really a great shirt
This is a fine quality, super comfortable t shirt. . . Good fit goes great under light sweaters and warmer flannels.
The shirt is comfortable to wear and although it is early I have yet to see any evidence of shrinkage. I typically buy extra large for that reason but the website size guidance indicated a large for my height and so far so good.
I have older s/s capiline tops and this new version is a better fit and functional. I really like this new model. You ran out of stock too soon. You need more lighter colors.
Purchased this shirt to do the Rim to Rim Grand Canyon hike in AZ fully expecting temperatures to reach 105 at the bottom of the canyon.

Read Morems. The shirt was worn for 5 straight days and didnt hold an odor, perhaps just a slight one. I also appreciate the torso is slightly long at the back so the shirt doesnt expose your lower back when reaching or bending. It also packs up tightly in your pack. Recommend fully.
Bought these for hiking, as they are Trail shirts. Love the fit, the feel and the colors. But they quickly (3 days each) are pulling on back and around shoulders. Dont seem like a trail shirt. Will probably return.
We're sorry to hear about the lack of durability on this shirt. While all knit fabrics are subject to pilling, it sounds like this is an extreme case and it may be due to the straps and material of the backpack. Your purchase is covered by our [Ironclad Guarantee](https://help.patagonia.com/s/article/Ironclad-Guarantee), so please reach out to our Customer Service team. We'll be happy to help return it under warranty!
I am buying up light weight wicking shirts as I am going on an extended trip to India when restrictions are lifted. These shirts are able to handle 90 degree summer days here in Colorado with no problem. Now that they dont make silkweight capillene anymore this is a functional replacement.

Hey William! Thank you so much for taking the time to review this shirt. Due to the jersey like nature of these shirts they are prone to pilling if met with friction such as in a wash with abrasive materials. We recommend you wash these on a delicate cool cycle and hang to dry. All of our gear is covered by our Ironclad Guarantee and you're always welcome to return it if you see fit.

Perfect fit for me
After reading the reviews I went with an XL which fits me perfect. I'm 6'2" and about 215. They length and general size are perfect. Not too baggy and not too tight. Just right. Looking forward to running in it.
This recent batch of Cool Trail shirts is a miss. Same cut as previous purchases but the material is see-through. The black t was the worst. Going back.
I wear the T for playing pickle ball, also for walking. I've come to really like these hot weather T's because they are light, look great and absorb perspiration exceeding well without corresponding bad odor. I have at least such T's and would buy more.
Having been a fan of Patagonia Capilene base layers, I bought one of these, and really enjoyed the feel, and the fit. I'm a Clydsdale, so XL was the right fit. You can wear these for work, play, and really good for nights in the sleeping bag, as they don't bind the way cotton t-shirts do for me. If they last as long as my old base layers,... Read More these will be a bargain.
I got this for trail running and hiking but was so impressed with the quality and fit that I dont want to get it dirty yet, so right now I wear it casually
A great t-shirt that is great in warmer climates. I use it for hiking & running, so the looser fit allows the t-shirt to breathe. It's a regular fit, so sizing matches up with the P-6 tee.
I really love the fit. Its not too narrow at the waist, and it doesnt get too smelly, like a lot of performance fabrics. Only down side is that its pretty shear.
Been purchasing Patagonia gear for years and can't recall ever having a bad experience. Like the look and fit of this shirt but it is a static cling machine.

Light weight feel
Nice looking T. Clean look and seems well made. Easy to move in but not baggy. Feels light on the skin. Fabric is thin but that helps it breath. I need to buy a couple more. I like the forest colors.
This is my second of these T's. So far they've done duty as a primary T for hiking in Bali, Vermont and Montana, and as an under-jersey shirt mountain biking in Vermont. They are light, relatively cool and yet wear well, with no degradation of the first one after a couple of dozen wear-wash cycles. All thumbs up for these.
This shirt fits just right (not too tight or loose). 5'10" and 175; 40R. Weight is good even in high humidity. Just wish more mediums were in stock right now. Could also wear this casually with shorts...
I love this shirt. I wear it as often as I can. The wool is super comfortable, the shirt is durable, and it fits every situation from cragging to hanging out at the office. Highly recommend.
I would give these shirts 5 stars except for the fact that there is some discrepancy in sizing. I have purchased capaline cool T shirts multiple times. They are my go to summer active and lounge T.

Excellent T-shirt
T-shirt is lightweight, fits well, and is well made. Only downside is frightful price, especially when shipping charges are factored in.
As with all Patagonia the fit and feel are spot on for me. However I used these over a week of 5-7 mile day hikes and had quite a bit of pilling. All located where lumbar pad and wait belt contacted the shirt. So now they are relegated to just hiking and backpacking shirts.
This is the lighter weight Cap t-shirt that came out after the everyday cap shirt. Very breathable and comfortable when active, great for hot humid conditions. In my pov its too thin for everyday wear unless you live in a topic humid heat zone. Good piece of kit.. now if Patty could just improve their zippers I digress.
I bought 2 Capilene cool trail shirts and one Capinele cool trail bike henley and they are incredibly comfortable. However, after only 3 or 4 wash they fade and look like a 5-year-old shirt that I wore every day. If they were more durable they would definitely be worth the money but sadly they are quickly worn out.
Hi Charles, thanks for the feedback and we are sorry to hear that these worn rather quickly. Please note, we guarantee everything we make and welcome you to [send](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) anything back that hasn't performed to your expectations.
Hi Quyntin, we're bummed to hear this! Unfortunately though, pilling is something that can be common with knit garments.

Nonetheless, we guarantee all our product and welcome you to [send](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) this back.

Perfect multi day shirt
Love these shirts . Got one as a gift and bought another one after my first use, which was hiking in the Grand Canyon. Dry quick, and keep me cool which is perfect for someone like me whos body temp runs hot. Not only great for hiking and climbing but great casual wear as well. Worth buying
Really awesome shirt! Amazing fabric! High quality and very comfortable. Wish there were some more color options. I have 2 now and very pleased with them both!
Super impressed with this shirt--soft and comfortable, breathes well, dries quickly. I use for mountain biking and trail running mostly, but it's just a good-looking t-shirt aside from its tech functions.

I love this shirt...fabric, fit, price. This would be a great shirt to hike/backpack in but it's also a great everyday tee. For now I'll continue to wear as casual wear but as time goes by, I'm sure it will become part of my hiking gear.
Love the fabric, Fit seems to run one size small. The shirt seems a little tight and short for my body. I would return it, but shipping is expensive where I live. If it fit better, I would buy 10 of them.

I would love more earthy tone colors or stripey variations
I love the capilene cool trail shirt so much I actually bought 2 of 'em! While I have a couple of the capilene daily shirts, I prefer the cool trail shirt as, I believe, it has more uses. The thing I love most about this guy is that it is super casual and can be worn like a t-shirt. The Capilene Cool Trail Shirt really is a cool trail shirt!
Used it a few times riding mtb in the desert and its awesome. Stays cool and dry without being to thin. I wish that it was just a little longer on the back for riding to keep you covered on the back a little more.
Wear this along with capilene cool daily tee basically everyday.

Capilene Trail v3 improved on v2

I love the fit as a stocky guy. Im usually between a medium and Large so that is why I put that it runs kinda small.
I can wear this shirt for a week with light use and it wont smell. Probably 3 days with have use. And 2 days for backpacking. It dries quickly and is super light. I love it.

I use two for this shirts in my running line up and are my favorite. Will be purchasing more. Log 40-50 miles per week. I wear them casually with jeans as they've held up well.
This shirt has been a life saver for me this summer. Great for warm to hot days. I liked mine so much that I now have this shirt in 4 colors. 10/10 Recommend.
Most Patagonia M shirts fit me with plenty of room, The M was far too small but the L is a great fit, that said I love the shirt and I have ordered more.
