So cute.

By:
July 3, 2010

It's a cute shirt without being a tshirt, but still sporty. The only con is that it's small, pretty tight. I'm a pretty solid small (I'd say not a small-medium), but this shirt I would love to see in a medium. It washes well too. I don't dry anything, I put it on a clothes line. It is still snug. Other than ordering bigger next time, I would definitely recommend this!

This is a great shirt. Looks great, does not stink, washes great. Fits true to size. I'm getting another. At this price you have to get one (or two). I wish they would make a longsleeve 1/4 zip T-neck like this

What is the weight for a size large? Someone in the review said

What is the weight for a size large?

Someone in the review said they would not recommend it for a multi day hike? Why not?

Thanks

great shirt for a long day in the mountains

By:
June 8, 2009

I love this shirt - it has a great fit and breathes really well. I'm not entirely sure about "odor-negating", but what performance fabric tops ever are. I've done multiple long run in this top and have had no chafing at the neck or seams. I'm 5'4", 120lbs, and bought a small in the brownish color.

Cute Backcountry short sleeve T-shirt

By: Backcountry.com Employee
April 24, 2012

The combination of light gray and light blue is great. The material is super soft. It is maybe not the one for really hot days as it may not be super fresh. The fit is true to size, it does not stink and colors and shape keep the same after multiple washings.

Can I exchange it if I need to? I'm not sure what will fit

Can I exchange it if I need to? I'm not sure what will fit better. I'm pretty active and I'm 5'1. I'm thinking a small will fit but I'm not sure.

Absolutely. If you get the small in and it's too small, you can order a medium immediately and send the small back. When backcountry receives your small they will credit your account.
If you do end up needing to make a return you might look into clicking the "chat" button that is at the top right of the page and one of the employees can hook you up with a return number, and get your new size ordered immediately. Backcountry has the best customer service around.

Great shirt!

By:
October 14, 2009

I love this shirt! As you can tell from the other reviewers, there's not much to dislike about it. It really is a do-anything shirt. It feels great on and the colors are nice. I bought these (I got three of them) near the end of summer and I could tell right away that I was going to be living in them next summer.

Would you recommend this shirt as a good alternative to the wool

the merino wool is tough to beat! the cocona will stay drier with its wicking. but this cocona is best used for the 'done in a day' and active sports.

Better than TNF.

By:
October 8, 2009

This is my favorite hiking shirt. I have the chai/grass one and the color is a really pretty lime. It fits much better than any of my TNF shirts and works really well. It's cute, functional, and has a flattering fit - and it's affordable.

Sold on Cocona!

By:
March 4, 2010

Ahhh I got my shirt 3 days ago and I have rarely taken it off since. The cocona material is super wicking, so even when I am a bit damp in the pits I feel dry. I am usually a small and the small fits me perfectly. The only reason it doesn't get a 5 from me is the neck hole is a little tight.

a question was asked on the mens cocona shirt, what is Cocona? Cocona

a question was asked on the mens cocona shirt, what is Cocona?

Cocona Materials is a carbon infused polyester. if you can see the inside of the shirt it is darker carbon color, used next to skin.

The carbon is a byproduct from the water filtration industry, and is carbon that comes from coconut shells. coconut shells are very dense, and also a byproduct of the coconut milk and meat industry. this very fine carbon powder is extruded with the polyester, creating surface area equivalent to a football field in a shirt! this surface area allows incredible drytimes. it does not feel like a typical synthetic shirt, but much drier. the carbon also does a good job of NATURALLY absorbing odors.

Decent shirt for a quick workout

By:
July 21, 2009

This is a decent shirt if you are looking for a quick-wicking polyester shirt at a good price (when on sale). I do not really buy into the 'odor-negating' properies, as it seems to perform like a normal poly shirt. It works if you are going for a run around your neighborhood or a workout at the gym. I would not recommend it for a multi-day backpacking/outdoor trip.

nice shirt

By:
January 16, 2010

I like the design, the shape and the performance of this shirt. I have two of them already, the blue and the red (would have bought the coffee color, but my size was not available anymore). I am 170cm and 63kg. I am broad-shouldered and don't like wearing shirts as tight as most women apparently do, therefore I usually go for men'r shirts. But I like short sleeves and not all too long shirts, just like this shirt. Putting all that together, makes this shirt in size L perfect for me. Would probably buy a third one in the third color if they had my size.

Clamminess, I banish you

By: Backcountry.com Employee
April 8, 2009

I took the BC Cocona Shirt out for a few runs and am totally stoked on its performance. I never got clammy, it wicked away moisture like a champ and dried quickly so I never felt sweaty. Feels soft against my skin, no scratchiness here. I am 5'5 and about 130lbs and a M fits me great--not too tapered, not too loose, fits just right. No funky next day smell, either.

Nice shirt. Runs small.

By:
August 22, 2009

The goat on the sleeve is reflective-way cool! I ordered a small. It's too small. But still looks good. Order a size bigger. That's my advice.

Nice shirt, I'd recommend it.

By:
August 7, 2009

I bought this shirt in a medium and a large because I was unsure which would fit better. The medium was just right. The material is comfortable and light weight- great for biking/hiking/camping etc.
When I first put it on the neck seemed a little tight in front, but I got used to it quickly & don't notice it anymore. It wouldn't deter me from buying another.

Comfortable Shirt for Hiking

By:
August 3, 2009

Bought this shirt for my wife and she loves it. The material is nice and wicks just like any poly. The shirt looks sharp when she has it on, but the sizing seems to be a little off. Probably should order a size up. She is a tried and true size medium and it just doesn't quite fit. It is a little too short and fairly tight on her. The quality of the shirt is great; just missed the sizing.

Great shirt

By:
June 28, 2009

I originally bought two for my daughter and ended up buying her one more. They are great shirts. They fit really well. She is an average size of 5'7" and usually wears a medium or large. The large fit her perfectly. The nice part is it is long enough to not expose her stomach while exercising.

Ok, but wool is better

By:
May 30, 2009

It's ok, but like alot of athletic shirts gets a little static. I prefer my merino wool shirt by miles, and the one I got from here didn't cost much more.

Weird Neck

By:
May 15, 2009

Maybe I'm proportioned strangely, but I found that they neck of this shirt seemed to be offset-- it was gapping in the back and choking me in the front. The fabric was also pretty stiff (although I suppose I should expect that from polypro, my wool is spoiling me!) All in all, not worth it for me, I'm returning them. Too bad, cause I was looking forward to the wicking!

This shirt is great, it is really fresh, it breath perfectly. The size is perfect, not big not small, just right. It is very light, love the length of the sleeves and the neck does not bother me, but that is just me ;)

love the fit of this shirt...it's long and has the raglan sleeves so it fits my broad shoulders nicely without having to size up. Even after washing it it hasn't shrunk up into a half shirt like a lot of my other tech tees do.

A bit small

By: Backcountry.com Employee
May 21, 2009

While I like the fabric, I found the shirt to be smaller than I anticipated. I am usually a pretty standard medium on the top but this was snug on me. If you are in between sizes, I suggest you go up.

great for anything!

By: Backcountry.com Employee
June 9, 2009

I just got this shirt in Radish/Cirrus and I really like it. I'm taller and shirts are often too short for me, so I went with a M even though I usually wear a S. (I've actually found that even as a S in most shirts/jackets, I am definitely a M in Backcountry.com shirts/jackets.)The Medium fits perfect. It's not too tight, not too loose and it's the perfect length. The back is a little longer which is always nice when you don't want to give your belay partner a show while rapping off a climb! I've used it biking and climbing and just hanging out around the house.
