I'm 5' 4". I originally bought one of these in small. It is way too short. I decided to give it another go and got a medium. Much better, fits like a small. If you're normally a small, size up, thank me later.
I live in the south and use this for casual wear and running. It is a little warm for running in 90+ degree temps with southern humidity but I still use it because I sweat a lot and I have yet to find a shirt that is not wool that will not eventually smell like a dumpster as soon as I start getting warm. The wool solves that problem and it's g... Read Morereat. I think the only solution that might work would be make the material thinner but I have one of these shirts that was two or three iterations older and was thinner and it got holes in it quickly. Longevity with this shirt has not been a problem, so far. They do pill with some washing and use but not significantly for me. It may be different if you're carrying a pack. Overall, really like the fit, style, odor control.
I love the Capilene daily cool products, and this one with Merino is awesome. It is true to size, holds its shape, wicks very well, and works very well as a layered base layer.
The merino wool shirt looks and feels great, but I noticed during my hike on my first wear of the product, there was already pilling occurring everywhere the shirt contacts my backpack. This shirt will not last and is terrible with any kind of friction. I thought the activity was catered towards active wear, but might be better for casual wear if y... Read Moreou don't wear bags.
Thanks for the review, Tenny. We're sorry to hear how quickly this shirt has started to pill. Packs have a tendency to cause this, especially with gear that has wool content due to the friction as you mentioned. We've reached out privately to set you up with a warranty evaluation.

Just plain cool.
Perfect or early morning rides where the temp increases.
Hi Matt, thank you for your feedback about the length of this shirt. We're sorry it was too short for you! Of course you are always welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) it if you wish. Please let us know if we can help with any measurements, too!
I use this for traveling because it can be worn across different climates and conditions, layered, and worn several days without really needing a wash. It's a great, versatile garment. I have two of them and rotate them.
This has replaced all other running shirts for me. I prefer the men's cut to the women's for ease of movement (the men's xs hits just at/above my natural hip and doesn't cling, the women's cuts fit longer) and I run in these in all seasons. They are definitely not the most durable - I ripped a hole in my first one tugging i... Read Moret back down after it rode up beneath a light pack while biking - but I think that's an expectable tradeoff for such lightweight merino. Launder gently and know that it may not look beautiful forever but it will continue to feel awesome - that holey first shirt is still in rotation and going strong.
I like the Capilene Cool merino shirt overall. It dries quickly, feels nice against the skin and doesn't really cling to the body when sweaty. The negative is that it does seem to trap heat more than my goto hiking capilene cool daily shirts. Wearing the cap cool merino shirt in 85F/30C hikes for a week with the sun beating down, I noticed the... Read More shirt trapped heat more than the 100% polyester cap cool daily shirt. I could feel heat escaping out up from the neck collar onto my face when the collar opened up while hiking. I don't get this with the cap cool daily shirt. So in terms of better temp regulation, I feel the cap cool merino doesn't do so well in warmer temps above 80F/26C. The shirt seemed pretty durable, having endured quite a bit of thorny bushwacking sections, although it did suffer two holes. The wool mix helps prevent your typical polyester runs from those kind of holes, so that is a benefit as compared to something like the cap cool trail. I don't think the cap cool merino will replace my goto hiking shirt, the cap cool daily, though, because of the heat trapping.
Travel Professional looking to reduce the amount of clothing I take for 2-3 week rotations. Works great, comfortable, and less expensive than other merino shirts I own? Patagonia is my go to on the road, wear it day in day out, buying more just to change up my routines
I have been eyeing this T-shirt for some time now and decided to just buy it, and I'm glad I did.
It is very, very soft and comfortable which is what I expected for it being part Merino Wool. Just love how Patagonia incorporates materials in their clothing that make them so pleasant to wear. I have a Capilene T-shirt from a year ago, but this... Read More Merino wool is so comfortable to wear on any day or occasion. Thanks guys.
Terrific shirt for year round use, light base wear in the winter, use it stand alone in the summer, I like the merino blend over polyester in the summer. Shirt is sharp looking and comfortable
You might be thinking this seems pricey, but it will absolutely become your favorite t-shirt. It fits perfectly, keeps you cool in summer and feels great in winter too. Very lightweight. I have had mine for a year, washed and dried it several times and its the exact same fit as the day I bought it.
I'm a small dude (5'3 and 130lbs) and I used to have to find your xxs size on wornwear since you never make things in my size. FINALLY you are adjusting your sizing for smaller men.

Amazing
Like most, i was mostly skeptical about the claims surrounding Merino wool shirts not picking up odors and such and being great for travel in tropical climates etc. but after having tested these extensively before an upcoming trip overseas, i can report they are amazing and do just that.

This material is great, super light and cool, has great breathability.

Hey Michael, thanks for the review. This shirt has a slim fit which could be why it feels smaller than other mediums you have tried. You can check on the fit by looking underneath the size range options on the product page.

Nice fabric
I bought this year for cooler day hikes and just general wear but yet to wear it more than a few times. So far the wool blend feels really nice! The fit is definitely on the slimmer side so I'd order a size up unless you like a trimmer fit (I'm ~150lbs and I exchanged for a L even though I'm normally a M or even a S in some cases!).
True classics; regulate heat no matter the weather
Patagonia Cap Cool Merino Graphic MTB shirts are the best. Light weight but regulate heat, summer or winter, they are my go-to favorites as a true modern classic.
Also, due to Patagonia's mission-led philosophy and new ownership, I now buy exclusively from you for my MTB and fly fishing needs.
A thin merino wool t-shirt that works across a range of temperatures and activities. And it looks great from cool evenings out to hot mountain bike rides.
I have only had this shirt for a month but I have worn it a few time and found it very comfortable and well constructed. The graphic print on mine is nice, without being a full on logo. I do follow the care instructions since I know wool products can shrink. Overall, just a good comfortable t- shirt that I'll be able to wear in casual situatio...

This is my new favorite base layer. Love the blend of merino and capilene. Keeps me cool/warm depending on conditions, keeps away the stink, and keeps me looking good with its form-fitting cut. Purchased a second shirt I liked it so much. Love the Fitz Roy pattern.
I work out door in the Texas heat this is my everyday undershirt dries very quickly and does not smell. I have yet to put it in the dryer since it dries so quickly
Super lightweight merino blend tee for whatever you would use it for. I'm so happy with these from a functional standpoint.

Comfortable and Dry
Great top for hiking. Wicks well, high quality and a nice deep blue color with accents colors on the front.
love the shirt
all the attached tags on the inside of the shirt are a pain in the butt - I'm always afraid I'm gonna hurt the garment when I cut them off
This shirt is impeccably designed. The materials, workmanship and ability to keep one dry in hot weather is fantastic. Smart clothing. If for some reason one doesn't like it, there is a great warranty!!
I've had this shirt for a couple weeks now and so far it has been flawless.

I expected it to feel similar to other wool blend shirts I have from other companies which I find have about a 80 degree limit befor... Read Moree they start to feel like they are just too warm. This isn't the case with this shirt. I wore it mountain biking in 85 degreed heat in direct sun riding hard and didn't regret wearing it all. It's so breathable! Also the fit is great and I don't notice any itchiness whatsoever. So far it is the perfect wool shirt. I'm definitely thinking about getting a long sleeve one as the weather starts to change.
This shirt is really translucent and thin. It honestly feels like you aren't wearing anything. That said it is soft and very stretchy and super comfy so I am going to give it a go. My initial reaction though is that the Capaline cool t-shirts are nicer and especially so for sun protection and water stuff, as well as, cheaper. I would also reco... Read Moremmend sizing up.
For multi-day use this shirt is greatly superior to Capeline, because you can wear it for many days in a row and it does not smell (unless you ask my wife).

Read More the touch and light weight. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I think a byproduct of it being such a fine fabric is that it is somewhat delicate to my mind and it'd be nice if it was a little more sturdy. On the other hand, I don't know if a sturdier fabric would perform as well in warm weather exercise, nor would it necessarily be as soft. I may be asking to much. Bottom line, I love the shirt and recommend it.
My husband loves the merino cool line. He is typically med in Patagonia shirts but I will have to explore the large size for him. This piece is just a bit short for him (although he will still wear it) and could use just a touch more room across the chest.
This is one of my favorite subdued shirts due to the color and underratedness of the design. I accidentally shrunk it by running it in the dryer too warm, but that was my mistake and it still fits.
These have become my favorite daily wear t-shirts. The blend of wool and recycled polyester is incredibly soft and breathable. The odor control allows me to wear them several times between washes, which has made these my new go-to shirts for travel.
Im 59.5 145 pounds and got both a small and a medium. The small is form fitting and the medium hangs just a bit looser. I love them both and still have no idea if Im a small or medium. The small is great as a base layer, the medium more casual as a tee on its own. And they pack down to nothing! Love them!
This is my first cool merino shirt after using silk weight capilene for well over 15 years. I must say I expected this to be bulkier than it is. I appreciate the weight and finish of this product and I have worn it twice as a layering piece and am really satisfied with the performance thus far. If this piece will last as long as capilene (which las... Read Morets 12-15 years) then it will be the evolution to renewable without sacrificing performance and longevity.
I love the shirt for its comfortable and light weight material. The only issue was when I washed it, it shrunk a little and doesnt fit right anymore. Had it not shrunk, it would have been one of my favorites.
Hi Zeke! Thank you for reaching out to us about this. We're really sorry to hear that the shirt shrunk in the wash. We typically recommend washing in cool water on a gentle cycle, and laying flat to dry as this will reduce the chances of shrinkage. That said, you can definitely [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) the shirt to us.

Capilene... Always the ticket!
Years ago I purchased Patagonia from an outdoor retailer in Pittsburgh. It is a wonderful shirt, and one of the only ones that keep me warm. This new one has some Merino wool in it and actually does a superior job in the winter months. Not itchy, very smooth material, and does not pill or attract stray hairs. This is the perfect shirt for me and I ... Read Morecan wear it with confidence.
I have a LOT of Patagonia gear and clothing. This is THE best thing Ive ever bought. It is so soft and comfy and I love the super simple branding on it. I hope it holds up, as it is really lightweight material. I want to buy another one for when this one wears out! Haha!
More than just a t-shirt. A bit pricey, but worth it for outdoor activities like hiking, esp in colder weather. It's layerable, true to size and well made. You can't beat wool for comfort and heat retention even when damp/wet.
The shirt fits great, is super comfortable, and looks fantastic! I bought four at once and Im glad I did, since Ive already been wearing them so much. The only not-quite-so-positive thing is that the fabric is much thinner than I was anticipating. If this is the only layer you plan on wearing, just be aware that the right lighting conditions may re... Read Moreveal a bit more than you expect. That said, it isnt too bad and doesnt bother me enough to worry about an over shirt or anything. Love these shirts and would definitely recommend!
6' 165 lbs. Lanky guy that often struggles with medium shirts that are too big and small shirts that are too small.
Medium fits me perfectly. Just wore it for the first time on a backpacking trip and absolutely loved it.
Only thing I would like to see improved is that the neck is a little small, especially when I was hiking with a backpack on. Otherwise I love the shirt and I'm sure will be with me on many outdoor adventures.
Fit, color, comfort were all good. Problem was though that the shirt was too thin and thus you could see my nips. Always a deal breaker for me. Better luck next time PataG!
I've been a patagonia diehard for years, and lately, I've felt like a little bit of the luster has faded. Enter this shirt, and it brought me right back. Felt great. Fit was spot on. the merino blend is light and airy, but doesn't feel like it will lose its shape. Nice to see the merino in the athletic line.
I own and operate a sea kayaking operation in coastal Alaska and this t-shirt is a great, everyday go to while guiding. Soft, warm, everything you'd expect from Patagonia & wool. My other wool t's from other companies get holes in a matter of weeks, but this one seems pretty tough. Go on, get the shirt.
This shirt was great initially. Wool blend with nice color, cut, and weight. Pretty much perfect. Unfortunately even with care taken (washed cool, never dried) it has shrunk within a couple months to the point where it is no longer wearable.

These are really great shirts. I've worn quite a few merino pieces over the years and never really reach for them in hot weather.

I mainly use this shirt when I know I need something breathable. Its very light. Used a few days on a camp/mtn bike trip and the shirt never retained any smells after numerous bike rides.

Love it. Love it. Love it. I want to replace all my cotton T-shirts with these. Note my arms are long, and the sleeves could be a bit longer, but I think that's my issue because I'm tall but don't wear a large 'cause I'm very thin.

This shirt is perfect to wear on its own or as the bottom layer with jacket or wool shirt over. It is light, comfortable and fits perfectly. I highly recommend this shirt for hiking or casual wear
I'm wearing this primarily when I bike, but it would be fine in casual scenarios as well. It's comfortable, fits well, and (as merino tends to do) does not to smell after a hard ride. Patagonia does a great job balancing the merino/polyester blend to make a great shirt.
This is shirt is so lightweight and soft. I barely notice Im wearing anything. I can move freely, it cut wise it covers well in all ranges of motion. It is a bit thin and could be slightly see through.
I have loved the old Merino 1 products from back in 2015/16. This fabric is the same fabric blend 65/35 merino / poly but feels even better. I have worn it backcountry skiing, mtn biking and as a casual wear shirt. Awesome performance in all activities.
This t-shirt is super light, great for workouts or aerobic activities like backcountry touring on warm days. I wore it for a long tour on a reasonably warm day (got up to 38 degrees F), so was sweating quite a bit on the uphill, but this shirt keep me cool and didn't stink AT ALL afterwards.
