A few years back I got several Patagonia LS Capilene Cool Merino Graphic shirts. I found these to be great hiking shirts as I really like the warmth and breathability these shirts provide. I find I use them mostly on cool mornings while out hiking. They are warmer and breathe better than the pure Capilene versions of these shirts. I also use them on my evening hikes as the temperature cools down. The Merino has been “no-itch” for me, as well as having good odor control, too. The shirts are expensive. Fortunately, I was able to get them at a discount. You can save $10 by getting the non-graphic version of the shirt. I will say I prefer the look of the graphic shirt better. I have gotten quite a few compliments on the graphic version of the shirt. I would also treat these shirts gently and follow the recommendations for washing properly. I’d highly recommend adding these shirts to your gear stable if you can get them at a good price. Patagonia has two sales a year. I don’t know if REI has them, but if they do, I’d get them during one of their sales. And if your local shop carries Patagonia, they can probably order them for you. The shirt is lightweight and comfortable. www.patagonia.com/product/mens-long-sleeved-capilene-cool-merino-graphic-shirt/44585.html?dwvar_44585_color=HEBKwww.patagonia.com/product/mens-long-sleeved-capilene-cool-merino-shirt/44550.html?dwvar_44550_color=BLKHappy Trails, DR

Their merino is pretty nice, but I really don’t care for most of their graphics. A little too minimalistic for the $10 bump.
Now a large print unicorn under cloudy or starry ski … taking a leak or “whatever” on oil executives would be more like it.

Wait a minute—I just looked at the shirts, and they make you pay $10 extra to advertise for them? That isn’t a graphic. It’s a logo.

I know people who would pay $10 to NOT have a company graphic on the clothing item. I also know some who take the time to use a stitch ripper to remove company logos if they are embroidered into an item.

Never liked logos unless they are very subtle. Now if you really need your fellows to know you are wearing Patagucci then the ten bucks might be worth it to you. lol
I routinely take a black sharpie and darken out bright or colorful logos on clothing and packs.

I'll gladly pay the extra 10 bucks for the Patagucci logo. How else will everyone know what a hip dude I am? ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
