Coffee is a naturally odor-absorbing material and by weaving the grounds into the fibers, odors are trapped as you sweat. Because the grounds are embedded into the fabric, this feature is permanent and will never wash out!

Luvin it.

Absolutely luv this shirt, these clothes. So comfortable, versatile, and well made. No weird shapes appearing due to weird cuts of material. Casual, lounging, bikepacking. And it feels youthful and mature. Perfect sizing.

Sized right, it’s perfect

I had to exchange for a larger size, but once I did… I’m tempted to order a few more. Note I’m between sizes in most brands because of my long torso. I plan to wear this for every occasion.

Most Versatile Button Up you Can Own

I am a long time fan of Coalatree products. I own two pairs of the trialhead pants, the first pair coming from their kickstarter. The Switchback shirt has the ability to go on a hike and then out to dinner in the same day. The pockets are functional with minimal bouncing for the contents. As other reviewers have mentioned, these run slightly smaller than expected so if you are a size M get the L, and so on. I own two of these shirts now due to the sizing issue. The Switchback I have is from the kickstarter campaign is a size M-M so this time I went with the size L. It fits great and I could even probably go up a size. I am 6'2 and weigh 172. Nice work Coalatree!!

Gift

The shirt is either a birthday or Christmas gift as both dates are close. So I haven’t worn it yet but I have tried it on and it fit well. Can hardly wait to get chance to wear it.

My go-to travel shirt

I bought my first Switchback shirt for the trail. However, I soon found it was a super shirt to wear in all sorts of venues. I've worn it to work, out and around town - and most recently on an international trip. It was really comfortable in the airport and on the plane. I loved the side pockets where I stowed my passport, boarding pass and glasses. So convenient!

Great shirt - runs small

This is an extremely comfortable, well-made, and well-designed shirt. I particularly like the side pockets, which are very useful indeed. The shirt runs small: I usually take a large or occasionally a medium in shirts, but had to get an XL for this shirt. I've only had it for a short time, so I cannot report on its durability.
