Men's Long-Sleeved Capilene Cool Merino Blend Shirt
RWS-certified merino wool training layer that regulates temperature and kills odor naturally, so you wash it less. The wool does the work a synthetic shirt outsources to chemical treatments.
Good to know: A blend: 35% recycled polyester is spun in with the merino for durability, so treat it as a wool-forward pick with plastic in it.

Why we picked it
A training shirt in RWS-certified merino blended with 35 percent recycled polyester, so call it wool-forward, stated up front. The wool is why you wash it less: it kills odor on its own, regulates temperature through a long run, and dries fast for the fiber. Fewer washes means less shedding and less laundry, which compounds quietly.
What it’s made of
65% RWS merino wool, 35% recycled polyester. Chosen for what it’s made of, not what it’s wrapped in.
- Wool
- Natural, renewable, temperature-regulating fibre.
- Compostable
- Plant-based and certified to break down, not pile up.
