Detailed Review

The Royal Robbins Camino Pucker S/S is similar in cut and style as the Desert Pucker S/S. The main difference between the two is a 5% higher TENCEL™ Modal fiber content and a softer, drapier weave to the fabric.

If I had to pick a favorite of the two Puckers, the Camino is the clear cut winner.

The fabric of the Royal Robbins Camino Pucker S/S doesn’t have the seersucker texture to it, and I have found that it washes and wears with very little fuss. I loved the softness of the Desert Pucker, but I did find that the shirt was prone to wrinkles (especially the collar) and needs a bit more TLC to make it look effortless. The Camino Pucker, however, looks great with minimal effort – just a machine wash and dry. Everything drapes and holds it’s shape without looking like you should take a steamer or iron to it.

I go to the gym to swim before work, which means that I will pack my clothes in my gym bag the night prior. I love clothing items that I can roll or fold up and then pull them out the next day wrinkle-free. I haven’t traveled with the Royal Robbins Camino Pucker S/S, but I bet it would be a great option as a shirt that can be a bit dressed up but hold up to active adventures.

The cut of the Royal Robbins Camino Pucker S/S is relaxed and boxy. It is slightly cropped as well. For sizing, I ended up sizing down because I prefer a more fitted look. Even with sizing down, the shirt allowed me to move freely.

Closing Thoughts

The Royal Robbins Camino Pucker S/S is an adventure ready button down shirt that’s easy to wear. The shirt, while relaxed and boxy, can easily translate into daily inside wear, but also handle any outside activity without any fuss.

The Royal Robbins Camino Pucker S/S is available for both men and women. Men’s sizing ranges from X to XXL and women’s sizing ranges from XS to XL. The Camino Puckers are available in a wide variety of fun retro patterns.

Erin Trail’s hobby is collecting hobbies. She’s a 5th Generation Coloradan and grew up exploring the outdoors on family camping trips and hikes. Her first backpacking trip was at eight years old to Grizzly Reservoir – she proudly carried all of her own gear those 3 miles from the main parking lot to the Reservoir.

Erin is an adult-onset athlete who started as a Masters Swimmer and then developed into a triathlete. She has completed 5 Ironman races and nearly 20 x 70.3 distance Ironman races, including the World Championship in Lahti, Finland, in 2023. In 2025, she raced for Team USA in Pontevedra, Spain for the World Triathlon Cross Tri World Championship. She placed 9th in her age group and was the 1st American woman in her age group.

Somewhere along her triathlon journey, she picked up deep love of cycling. Cycling encouraged her to see landscapes in a new way, learn new skills and to develop self reliance; now she often goes and does Type 2 rides just to see if she can do it. She’s got all the bikes: gravel, mountain, fat bike, time trial and road.

She is even known to combine her love of camping and cycling and go off on solo 24 hour overnight bikepacking trips in the mountains of Colorado. In addition to bikes, she teaches yoga, lifts weights, skis, SUPs and has recently purchased a campervan.

Erin is a former Montana park ranger with a degree in environmental engineering. She loves getting into technical details while putting her gear (and herself) through the paces. She shares her home in Colorado with her husband, Will, and her 3 cats (Zipper, Brewtus, and Simcoe).

Fall and winter 2025 will bring Erin to the “Adventure Side”, with many camping, vanlife, bikepacking, and mountain bike rides. Once the snow flies, she can be find resort skiing, fat biking, and triathlon training (inside and outside).

In 2026 Erin took the National Championship in her Age Group for the USA Triathlon Cross Tri. She’s also racing the a National Championship Road Sprint and Olympic Distance race in Milwaukee and a few other off road triathlons and bike races. In 2027, she will represent Team USA at the World Championship Cross Triathlon in Edmonton, Canada. She’ll also save lots of room for adventure time with her friends and husband.

When not adventuring, she can be found on a sunny patio somewhere, drinking beers with her husband.
