In Depth Review
I recently reviewed the Path projects shorts and Killam Pants and was hugely impressed with the amount of pockets and features on their clothing so taking a look at their version of a hoodie was the next logical step.
Material
The Pyrenees Shirt has a lightweight and very breathable fabric called Tencel that makes this incredibly good at wicking sweat away. In a steep climb up a recent mountain I noticed how quickly the wet patches wicked away. The top is a cotton bled so there is a soft feel and a slight stretch.
Fit
The Pyrenees Shirt has a relaxed fit allow it to billow in a breeze. This helps with cooling and moisture management.
Dont Panic The Sleeves Are Meant to Have Holes.
So straight out of the packet I was worried that the seams had split but I realised that the holes on both sleeves were thumb loops to help cover a large part of your hands when you are cold. This is also the first time I’ve seen a top that has a special gap for your smart watch to poke through and be readable even when you are keeping your hands warm. This is a nice touch.
Color Options
There are five color options – 2 Greys, black, green and blue.
Verdict
The Path Projects Pyrenees T19 Hooded Long Sleeve Shirt has a relaxed fit and cotton and tencel blend fabric that is moisture wicking, lightweight and breathable. The Pyrenees Shirt comes with a tailored hood and thumb loops to help keep your hands warm when the wind picks up. There is also a special gap on the left sleeve for your smartwatch.

About Path Projects.
In 2002, a friend challenged me to run the San Francisco half marathon. I’d never tackled more than three miles but needed a challenge so I started training. I quickly realized being in good shape didn’t equal a quick jump to 13 miles.
It took me a year to build up my shins and learn how to run without destroying myself. But in the trial by fire, I found that special place where your body takes over and the mind shuts off. Where you feel like you can run forever and when you’re done, you’re cleansed.
That became my happy addiction.
“Then, in 2007, I burned out on races and pavement and discovered the trail.”
I threw myself into challenging half marathons, trying to run them faster. I squeezed in runs whenever I traveled for work. At this point in my life, I was a father, husband and entrepreneur — running became my stress relief, my escape route.
“A truly functional pair of shorts simply didn’t exist.”
I’d always found running gear I liked but the one thing I couldn’t find was a great pair of shorts. A truly functional pair of shorts simply didn’t exist.
“Now I could design and build technically advanced garments with modern minimalist styling. Seek out the finest materials and never cut a single corner.”
I’d spent 20 years in the apparel and footwear world. I had a pretty clear understanding of fabrics and what was possible so I started designing in my head. Then there was the ugliness factor. For some reason running was stuck in an 80’s time warp with crazy colors and dated styling. Shoes companies were doing apparel just to fill out the product line.
I figured I could turn out a far superior product but I’d get crushed by those multi-billion dollar giants who dominated the market. Then around 2013 the retail world flipped upside down. Cool and authentic new brands decided to skip the traditional brick and mortar and went big time on the web.
That was the last piece of the puzzle: Now I could design and build technically advanced garments with modern minimalist styling. Seek out the finest materials and never cut a single corner. By going straight to other passionate runners, I’d eliminate the mark up and bring them superior running gear at a fantastic price.
In 2015 PATH projects burst out the door, running hard. It took almost two years of searching for the most innovative fabrics, manufacturing partners and testing scenarios but the results were better then I’d ever imagined.
