Summer hiking, winter sports, an early morning run or a round-the-world trip… Patagonia's Capilene Cool Daily Graphic tee is so comfortable you might just catch yourself wearing it in front of the telly. Quick-drying, stretchy and soft against the skin, the recycled polyester jersey fabric wicks moisture away efficiently and has HeiQ Mint odour control to keep things fresh even after multiple wears. The fabric has a bit of give for freedom of movement, and the set-in sleeves and minimal seams reduce chafing at key spots. For a technical tee, it’s got a nice regular fit that means you can wear it as a normal T-shirt without looking like you’re off down the gym. This is the long-sleeved version, but there’s also a short-sleeved model available.

Patagonia is the brand that other gear companies want to be when they grow up. In 2022, the company's founder, Yvon Chouinard, famously gave the company to the planet. It’s now jointly controlled by a charitable trust and a not-for-profit dedicated to fighting the climate crisis, and all post-operating profits go to environmental causes.
But in some ways that’s the tip of the (melting) iceberg. For nearly half a century, Patagonia has been an experiment in responsible business. From the farms that grow their cotton to the factories that make their goods and everything in-between, they’ve tried incredibly hard to set the gold standard in terms of ethics, transparency and social responsibility. Not only that, but their gear is made to last – to take hard use and repairs, and to maintain its performance through thick and thin.
All of which is even more extraordinary when you consider that Yvon Chouinard started out blacksmithing climbing gear for his mates in his parents' backyard, using a forge and anvil that he bought from a junkyard.
At WildBounds we don’t usually tend to go for the big-name brands, but this was one we simply couldn’t resist. Quite apart from their amazing ethical and environmental credentials, they just make great gear. We’ve used it and loved it for years, and you will too.
