Patagonia says

We designed Capilene® Cool Trail, our softest performance knit, to keep you cool and dry when you’re active, while providing day-long, next-to-skin comfort. Quick to wick moisture and quick to dry, Capilene Cool Trail feels like cotton yet performs with the wicking efficiency of polyester for running, biking, travel or all of the above in the same day. Made of 4.4-oz 100% recycled polyester (50% recycled for heathered fabrics) spun jersey it has a soft hand, a light weight and HeiQ® Fresh durable odor control so you stay welcome among friends at the end of the day. Details include underarm gussets for complete mobility and chafe-free comfort, a supple jersey-knit crewneck that wicks moisture and glides smoothly over skin, an internal locker loop for easy hanging, a tagless design that won’t itch your skin and a clean, snag-free woven label on the front hem. Fair Trade Certified™ sewn, which means the people who made it earned a premium for their labor.

Our Verdict

Patagonia’s Capilene Cool Trail Shirt is an active version of the classic Capilene Cool with added features to keep you comfortable when active and warm. Still a super comfortable technical tee that is breathable, high wicking and quick drying. The soft, silky feel of the fabric makes it comfortable even when you have been pushing yourself and sweating for a while.

The inclusion of underarm gussets increases breathability and comfort when you’re hot and sweaty so it does a great job of reducing the risk of chaffing, especially when running or hiking.

The T Shirt is Fair Trade certified sewn and made from 50-100% recycled content in keeping with Patagonia’s industry leading ethical standards.
