Empaca Crew T-Shirt – Men’s

Meet the Empaca Crew T-Shirt – Men’s by Cotopaxi—a soft, breathable performance tee that looks like your favorite everyday T-shirt but hides serious technical chops. It’s built for hikes, road trips, farmers’ markets, and everything in between.

Key Features: Classic crew neck; set-in sleeves; regular fit; and a streamlined design that works under packs, jackets, or on its own. Cotopaxi calls the Empaca Crew their go-to T-shirt for just about any casual or active outing.

Fabric & Feel: The Empaca Crew T-Shirt – Men’s by Cotopaxi is made from a thoughtful blend of roughly 74% recycled polyester, 18% Lenzing™ TENCEL™, and 8% spandex at about 190 gsm, creating one of Cotopaxi’s favorite fabric combinations. The result is soft, breathable, moisture-wicking, and comfortably stretchy, with enough structure to look polished.

Why It’s Good: Recycled polyester lowers reliance on virgin plastics, while TENCEL™ fibers come from responsibly sourced wood pulp in a more resource-efficient process. A bit of spandex improves mobility and garment longevity, so the tee springs back after wear instead of bagging out. Cotopaxi’s B Corp status and commitment to the Cotopaxi Foundation add another layer of impact, directing revenue to anti-poverty programs and long-term community support.

Fit & Care: Regular fit that’s not too tight and not too boxy. Choose your normal T-shirt size; size up if you want a relaxed, slouchy look. Machine wash cold, turn inside out, and tumble dry low or hang to dry. Avoid bleach and heavy fabric softeners to preserve wicking and stretch performance.

Style Notes: Pair the Cotopaxi Empaca Crew T-Shirt – Men’s with trail shorts and hiking shoes for weekend adventures, or with jeans and casual sneakers for everyday wear—you’ll get the easy feel of a classic crew with the hidden performance of a technical layer.
