PATAGONIA MEN'S CAPILENE® COOL DAILY SHIRT GREAT WAVES | TECHNICAL T-SHIRT

THE TECHNICAL T-SHIRT THAT GOES FROM WATER TO TRAIL: PATAGONIA CAPILENE® COOL DAILY SHIRT GREAT WAVES

There are t-shirts you wear. And then there are t-shirts you actually use. The Patagonia Men's Capilene® Cool Daily Shirt Great Waves falls into the latter category: a 128-gram technical t-shirt that manages heat, wicks moisture, neutralizes odors, and handles everything from a surf session to a mountain trail, a long trip, or the most demanding daily use without complaint. With the Great Waves print, which combines the Patagonia brand with Hokusai's iconic wave and the legacy of its first store, Great Pacific Iron Works, in Ventura, California, this shirt carries the ocean in its fabric and its soul.

WHY THE CAPILENE® COOL DAILY IS PATAGONIA'S MOST VERSATILE TECHNICAL T-SHIRT

Since 1984, when Yvon Chouinard conceived the Capilene® fabric in response to the real needs of alpinists and surfers of the time, this line has evolved to become the go-to technical t-shirt for those who don't accept compromises between performance and comfort.

The Cool Daily version is specifically designed for active hot conditions: its stretchy polyester knit fabric creates an optimal body microclimate, wicking sweat instantly and keeping you dry even when the effort or the sun intensifies. It doesn't matter if you are waiting for a set from the lineup, hitting a summer trail, or just moving through the city on a hot day: the Capilene® Cool Daily works without you noticing it.

TECHNICAL FEATURES

• Fabric: 125 g/m² 50% recycled polyester knit — lightweight, silky to the touch, and stretchy for total freedom of movement
• Ultra-fast drying: Finish that actively wicks moisture; the fabric goes from soaked to dry in minutes, in or out of the water
• HeiQ® Mint odor control: Plant-based treatment that neutralizes odor-causing microorganisms and regenerates with every wash — you can wear the shirt for several days in a row without a problem

• Weight: 128 g

EXPERT ADVICE

"The Capilene® Cool Daily has been our go-to shirt for years for everything that happens near the water: pre- and post-surf, long beach days, backpacking surf trips, or coastal hiking. The HeiQ® Mint odor control isn't just marketing: after several days of intense use, the shirt remains fresh. And the fabric dries so fast that if you go for a swim, you can put it back on in minutes. The Great Waves print is a nod to surf history and the big-wave culture that represents us perfectly. A shirt that says something, in addition to performing."

PATAGONIA GUARANTEE — "WE'RE IN BUSINESS TO SAVE OUR HOME PLANET"

Patagonia is not just a technical clothing brand. Founded in 1973 by climber, surfer, and activist Yvon Chouinard, it is today one of the most sustainability-committed companies in the world. Winner of the UN Champions of the Earth award in the Entrepreneurial Vision category, it has donated at least 1% of its annual sales to the preservation and restoration of the natural environment since 1986. In 2022, its founder transferred ownership of the company to a trust and a non-profit organization, with the goal of ensuring all profits are used to fight climate change.

The Capilene® Cool Daily Shirt Great Waves reflects this philosophy: 50% recycled polyester fabric with bluesign® certification, made in a Fair Trade™ Certified factory in Sri Lanka. Patagonia's Worn Wear program also allows you to repair or renew your garment when needed, closing the loop on fast fashion. When you buy Patagonia, you're not just outfitting your adventure; you're financing the planet's.

HOW TO USE AND CARE FOR IT

Recommended uses: surfing (pre and post session), beach, summer hiking, trail running in heat, kayaking, paddle surfing, backpacking trips, rock climbing, daily use on hot days. Its fabric works just as well dry as it does after a dip in the sea.

Usage tip: thanks to HeiQ® Mint odor control, you can space out washes without losing freshness. The fewer washes, the longer the shirt lasts and fewer polyester microfibers reach the ocean — a benefit that Patagonia takes into account in the design of all its technical products.

Care:

• Machine wash with warm water (30 °C)
• Do not use bleach or fabric softener (fabric softener clogs the fibers and reduces moisture-wicking capacity)
• Tumble dry low
• Iron at low temperature if necessary
• Do not dry clean
