Protect the ocean so it can protect us

Our future is tied to the ocean. Its shared seas connect us through food, culture and sport. The home of amazing, abundant life, it’s also a powerful climate solution. Yet the practice of bottom trawling threatens to destroy this precious resource—bulldozing our ocean floor, undermining small-scale fisheries and deepening the climate crisis. Let's end this destructive practice, starting with an immediate ban in marine protected areas and inshore zones.

Ms Capilene® Cool Trail Shirt

4.3/5
Kinda Large
June 7, 2023

Best bit of kit in my bag

Silky smooth and super comfortable, this kept me cool and dry whilst hiking, even with a decent sized ruck sack on my back. Almost instantly dried when taking a break so kept me warm too. Most comfortable base layer I own.

June 2, 2023

Delighted with my men’s capilene

Delighted with my men’s capilene t-shirt and the excellent service!

May 22, 2023

A little too narrow over the shoulders

I am a slim person with rather wide shoulders. L has too much body for me. M fits my body perfectly, but would need a little more width over the shoulders to be perfect.

May 22, 2023

Awesome T shirt

Great T shirt and fits perfectly. Already have like three of them. It’s a go to piece of clothing.

The perfect all round sport shirts

It's a really light weight quick dry sport shirt

May 10, 2023

Excellent all-purpose exercise shirt

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.

May 9, 2023

Extended sizes for the win!

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.

May 7, 2023

Great shirts

I love these shirts. This and the cool daily shirt are the only ones that I ever wear.

March 30, 2023

Comfortable

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.

March 19, 2023

Awesome shirts, run small

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.

March 3, 2023

Breathes well

Love everything about this shirt. Breathes really well. Dries quickly.

February 9, 2023

It's a T-shirt

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?

February 9, 2023

Nice fit, nice feel, well-made

Like it. Great for running, doubles as casual shirt while traveling.

Top t-shirt

Another of my best t-shirts for sports, the mountains and adventure travel. Super comfortable and light.

Great T-Shirt

This T-Shirt is just great!

October 13, 2022

Nice casual 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.

Different Material than other Cap Cool Shirts

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.

September 10, 2022

Durable

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.

September 4, 2022

Light weight

Comfy light weight shirt. Good for work and surfing. I used it as a rash guard and it dries out really quick.

I sweat in anything but not as much in this and it’s comfy,a few better colours would be good

New fabric clings like a plastic bag

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.

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.

August 17, 2022

Light Tshirt

One of the best tshirts I have, light, super well made

August 14, 2022

Comfortable

Lightweight shirt for casual outdoor walks

August 12, 2022

Favorite t-shirt for running

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.

August 12, 2022

As always great quality product

Very lightweight. Quick dry and good feel.

August 12, 2022

Best all purpose

Surely the best for sleeping, wake up run or hit the trail. Easy to wash and dry on the go and re-wear.

August 11, 2022

Great All-Season MTB Shirt

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...

Capilene cool trail shirt

This shirt is perfect in hot weather.

July 31, 2022

Not for people who sweat

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.

Response from Patagonia

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.

July 31, 2022

Great material

Shirt fits really well, for working out it’s quite fitted over the sleeves and chest so not great for chest based exercises

July 31, 2022

Capilene Cool Trail Shirt

Feels like Cotton with a relaxed fit, it keeps the sun off and wicks sweat. A perfect warm weather tee. Very happy with it and very likely to buy another in time.

July 27, 2022

Fabulous Attire

These shirts are ideal for a variety of activities.

Great item

Great item

Good fit and lightweight

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.

July 16, 2022

Best damn T ever...

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.

Love it

Keeps me fresh, I use it for everyday riding

Best Tech Tee Ever

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

July 6, 2022

Unnecessarily changed the design

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.

July 5, 2022

Perfect for cycling

I picked up a couple of these for a cycle tour of France. I wanted a casual tee that I could cycle in all day many times over. These tees fit the bill.

Surprised in a way, as the material felt heavier than other running shirts, but work well and kept me cool in the heat

Great shirt

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.

Performance wear that feels like cotton

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.

LABELS!

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.

May 25, 2022

Great shirts

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...

Darker colors in Florida's heat just makes you hotter and more miserable.

Great shirt, I prefer the Cool Daily line as they are softer and thinner. But this is still a great option

May 20, 2022

All I Need

Super lite. Sleek feel

May 19, 2022

Completely See-Through

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.

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

May 6, 2022

Merino alternative

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.

May 6, 2022

Great shirt!

Amazing quality, fit and feel - I wear this shirt for everything. Definitely can't beat the quality!

April 27, 2022

Perfect

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.

Best Tech Tee Ever

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

Light and easy

Light. Feels good on skin. Folds easily and tightly. Dries quickly. Highly recommend

January 15, 2022

Simple, functional.

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.

Response from Patagonia
October 15, 2021

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.

Hey William! Thank you so much for taking the time to review this shirt.

Cool travel t-shirt

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.

July 28, 2021

Purchased two

Shirt feels cool as promised. Material is high quality, style impeccable. Truly glad could find an ethical and ecological option to purchase. Bought one for myself and after that another one for my dad.

July 26, 2021

Nearly Perfect

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.

Cool trail shirt!

Love it, my go to for working outside.

Static Cling Machine

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. No matter I do, it comes out of the dryer all wrinkled, clingy and unwearable. I tried using anti-static spray, but that didnt help much and made the shirt smell bad. I finally just had t...

Guessed right

Sizing at Patagonia is a matter of educated guessing. This shirt is not slim fit and it was roomy, but it is the right size. I also bought shirts that were slim fit and they also fit correctly, but were tighter. I have bought clothing before that was exactly the same as something I had purchased before and the sizing was completely different. Very ... Read Morefrustrating and annoying. I have been a Patagonia customer for decades, but I am much more careful now .

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.

July 20, 2021

Cool & dry, as advertised

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.

July 20, 2021

Good size/quality shirt

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...

cool trail shirt

wicks well but probably better for cooler weather. Its a bit thick for warm/hot temps

Great for the trail runs

Very nice fit and somewhat transparent. Mango color.

Best shirt ever

Love this shirt, so comfortable!

July 14, 2021

Comfortable, Well-Made Shirt

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.

Comfort and Style of a T-shirt with Tech. Performance

Super comfortable in a wide range of temperatures. This is an article of clothing I don't think about after I put it on.

July 13, 2021

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.

July 11, 2021

Great fit, but not made for all activities!

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.

July 10, 2021

Solid shirt.

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.

So soft and light. I haven't washed it yet. I hope it does not break in the washine machine.

Pilling like crazy!

After only a few washes, the fabric is already showing significant pilling.

July 9, 2021

Hi Quyntin, we're bummed to hear this! Unfortunately though, pilling is something that can be common with knit garments. Luckily, there's many products that can leave that shirt good-as-new such as a sweater shaver. 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

June 25, 2021

GREAT FABRIC

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!

Great All-Around Workout Shirt

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. It's tough too--I took a nasty bike spill recently onto a rocky trail; the fall road-rashed my back and elbow really significantly, b... Read Moreut the shirt just had a couple small tears. I patched them with tech tape and they're good to go. I think the vast majority of other shirts would have been demolished beyond repair--I loved this shirt even more when I saw how little it had been impacted!

June 23, 2021

Very comfy

Feels and looks like cotton, and acts somewhat like it. Doesn’t dry as quick as real polyester material but nevertheless it’s a soft and fresh shirt to wear.

New fabric is not good

Just ordered two of these shirts to add to the few I bought back in 2019. I will for sure be returning these new shirts, the new updated fabric that Patagonia switched too makes it feel like you are wearing a very expensive trash bag. The older model of these shirts were great, super soft and breathable and quick drying. These new shirts feel like ...

The Perfect Tee

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.

Perfect on hot humid days

Your best and lightest material for running and hiking on a hot humid Summer day.

April 20, 2021

Great fabric

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.

April 20, 2021

High function!

Great fabric, very high quality. Can wear to work or any active pursuit and as a casual t-shirt.

April 19, 2021

Excellent top

Very comfortable top, a more athletic fit. Could very easily wear this tee with jeans as a casual outfit as the fabric appears like cotton, however it dries quickly and doesn’t chafe. Great all round tee, ideal for running, hiking, backpacking where you need a few versatile tees you would be well set up with a couple of these, will buy again

April 16, 2021

Versatile! so nice

Love this shirt! I bought the stripey shirt green/blue (or black) and it's fantastic...breathable and wicking which is great for climbing but simultaneously lofty enough where a breeze won't make me shiver... I wear these in tropical conditions (humid upper 80's usually) and though I feel a little hot on the approach (the daily cool ... Read Moreor daily cool graphic performs better there, but that prob means this shirt will do well in the colder Virginia Fall? ) they're awesome for movement... this is a shirt i put on and kind of forget is on....was wary to pay the price but i'd say it's worth it due to the performance and the fact that it feels robust/longlasting. I would love more earthy tone colors or stripey variations

April 13, 2021

Doesn't Disappoint

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!

April 12, 2021

Awesome material

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.

Awesome, clean fitting shirt.

April 7, 2021

Work Shirt

Very soft fabric and plenty of stretch for performing activities. It shows sweat marks extremely quick.

April 5, 2021

Very Comfortable

I used this on a very hot and dry hash run wherein we moved from pavement to trails to creeks. It breathes and wicks well and offers great protection from the sun. I have no complaints and would definitely recommend. Although the large fit me fine (42' chest), I may go with a medium next for a more fitted look.

Pilling Like Crazy

Not the quality I expect from Patagonia. I own and love several Capilene layers, but this shirt is the first I genuinely dislike. After wearing it five times and washing it just twice on gentle setting with a line dry, this shirt is already pilling. On top of that, its not cool at all. While sitting at my laptop or driving my car, my armpits will b... Read Moree sweating in this shirt.

Daily staple

Wear this along with capilene cool daily tee basically everyday.

This T is as breezy as they come. They run perfectly true to size and are great for sports or just chilling at home. Very lively and rich colors.

Fantastic Shirt

I hate riding in flashy MTB jerseys. They are usually poorly made and don't keep you as cool as they claim. The Cap Cool Trail Shirt is not this.

It sits on my body like my favorit... Read Moree casual shirt without being too baggy. On trail, it wicks moisture perfectly while allowing for that much needed breeze to cool me down. One of the best purchases I have made in a long time. If I had one gripe, I would say I wish there were a few more subtle colors and maybe a subtle graphic. I have it in both the grey and the green/black stripes and will continue to purchase more as they become available.

Great wicking and no odour (so far!)

I bought two of these tshirt's as I was looking for a garment made of sustainable material that wouldn't retain post run sweat odours (I have found this to be an issue with mainstream brands i.e. Nike etc.), so far so good. After a run I rinse out and hang to dry (it comes with a little coat hanger style hook in the neck line) and then wa... Read Moresh on low (20 degree).
