I have several of these shirts I use for hiking in warm weather. I LOVE the old ones. The fabric used with this new shirt seems more sheer and consequently the shirt has no body or shape to it. Very disappointing.

Love the light borealis green
I have the capilene cool daily shirt in both short and love sleeve and wear for walking dogs, running trails, and lounging around house. They do not retain odor, feel great against the skin (so soft), and are breathable. I love them so much I started buying for my husband. Latest purchase was the borealis green and the color is gorgeous! Please mak... Read Moree the short sleeve (and other products) in this color!!!!
Please make this in a slim. I normally wear large in the mid weight capilene which comes in slim fit and it fits perfect. I bought the large in regular fit on this and it was huge (slim not offered). So I bought the medium and its too short in sleeves and body.
Same great Capilene shirt at a more affordable price
The fit, material, and everything else is the same as the graphic versions of this. I own a few of the graphic ones and it's refreshing to have the plain versions which is more versatile for matching with multiple outfits. Great stuff at a more affordable price.
Now I have three of these and I use them for a whole slew of activities. Skiing , running, biking, camping , and work . And after putting it on I never give it another thought. Very durable .
This layer shirt is super comfortable and light weight. Works well for sun protection too. This version has looser sleeves than in the past, which you may or may not like better. Great purchase!
Super light and breathable, while offering good sun protection. Fit is good, with stretch for high movement activities. The antimocrobial finish works well to prevent the synthetic funk. And with all Patagonia products, I feel better choosing recycled, fair trade production. A really great piece of kit.
Light, wicking and nice odor management. The sun protection is also great. I have used it from running trails under the Colorado sun to ski touring on spring days. Slightly fitted in the chest but fairly relaxed through the body. I love how the neck isnt too tight. There is a bit more room in this compared to the capiliene base layer in the same si...

This is a super, comfortable top for daily wear ... looks great ... light weight, but adds a nice level of warmth in cooler weather; cooling feel when warmer. Its a wonderful all around addition.
I love the feel of the fabric, it's very soft and feels like you're hardly wearing anything. It dries super quick and repels smell. The only complaint I have is there is a tag on the left side of the inside that is annoyingly itchy in an otherwise super comfortable shirt. Maybe cutting it off would help but I'm afraid it might make i... Read Moret itch more or I'll damage the seam its sewn into so I haven't tried yet.
I've taken this shirt on a few backpacking trips. It protects me from the sun, but is cool enough to wear in the heat. It's a quality shirt. I just bought another.
Nice fit, super comfortable, seems very functional. was kind of hoping for same sleeve ends used on the lightweight capilene hoody. wouldnt mind slightly smaller crew-neck circumference.
This long sleeve capilene is perfect for cool to cold weather aerobic activity when worn under an R-1 hoodie where you're cold for the first 10 minutes and then hot for the rest having to unzip & remove gloves & hat. Also is great for very cold weather under insulating layer like an R-1 or fleece and a puffy of some sort. Smell factor ... Read Moreseems good and much better than old time capilene. I don't wash it very much but it dries quickly. I like the regular fit to cover the extra pounds--no more slim fit!
I am usually in between large and extra large at most places. Patagonia large fit me perfectly. This shirt is very comfortable! Its light and fits well.
Purchased this shirt, my second, for protection during time on the water and general outdoor work. Fantastic! The ability to rinse it and let it dry in the sun and get back to work was awesome. Highly recommend. Purchased white to reflect the most sun and remain cool, which it did famously
I live in West Texas, where it gets quite cool, but rarely cold. This shirt is a perfect weight and looks great when I wear it. This is my third long sleeve daily shirt
Purchased this shirt for my JMT trip, and it was great. Lived in this shirt everyday for 18 days, and was able to just rinse it and let it dry in the sun (every couple of days). It never retained the funk of the days hike and after airing it out each night it was fairly fresh in the morning. Highly recommend and I will be buying another.
My go-to summertime shirt. Great for staying cool and protected from the sun at the beach, hike's, warm weather surf trips and ridiculously comfortable... I have one and will likely buy more.
I love this shirt. Like another reviewer here, I have a full sleeve of tattoos and hate having to bathe myself in sunscreen before going outdoors. This shirt helps a lot - and it's super comfortable and breathable.
My only complaint is that the shirt is a little baggy. I'm 6 feet tall and 135lbs, so I'm very slender. I first bought... Read More an XS, hoping that it would fit snugly. But the sleeves and body were too short (and the arms were a little baggy). So I exchanged for a small. The length is now fine, but the sleeves are still pretty baggy. I may take it to a tailor to tighten up the fit.
Works well for those misty morning runs with air temps 50-60. Nice and light. Dries quick and doesn't smell foul after proper workouts. Washes up fresh and doesn't get funny stains like some of my other polyester workout shirts (including the older Patagonia ones I bought back in 2012).
If the goal is to simplify your kit and own fewer pieces, this shirt is a solid building block. I recently wore it for several days straight on a multi-day hiking / backpacking trip through Southern Utah and I was impressed by how well it performed. It breathes really well, and feels almost like wearing nothing at all. It excels in peak heat / peak... Read More sun conditions (i.e. 90 - 100 degree temps from mid-day to late afternoon), but was comfortable in the early morning hours and after sunset when the heat backed off quite a bit. Should note that this version of the capilene seems to breathe better than previous versions. I own the hooded version of this shirt as well, and both of these are go-to pieces for any outdoor related activity in warmer months. I've worn them on early morning runs, all day hikes, mountain biking, long family days at the beach, and even surfing. The only thing I would add is that a friend commented that the new daily capilene shirts look less like technical shirts and are better at transitioning to lounge wear, i.e. dinner or a pub after a long day outside. I wouldn't go quite that far - to me, the previous versions of the nine trails shirt have the most similar look and feel of traditional cotton, and therefore look less like technical shirts. Either way, still very satisfied with the capilene cool daily shirts and would certainly recommend them.
This shirt fits very well and the fabric is very comfortable. It is lightweight, feels cool, and keeps my arms from getting sunburn when working outside all day.
This shirt works really well in both warm and cool temperatures. I wanted something super light and durable that I can take with me as a technical layer on hikes or wear while walking around town during a sunny day. Highly recommended if you're looking for a layer that can adapt to different scenarios.
This shirt has clean lines, an athletic cut, and is very comfortable and well made. It's a simple piece of equipment that makes day to day time in the hot Texas sun more pleasurable.
This is now my go to summer shirt. Not only is it the most comfortable shirt I own it is also SPF 50 so I don't need to worry nearly as much about the sun when in a kayak or on the trail. The shirt stretches and gives where needed and I was pleasantly surprised about how well it breathes.
Love this shirt for kayaking. It's barely there, almost like silk. When the going gets too hot, I squeeze a wet sponge over me. A medium is perfect. I'm 165 lbs. about 5'10"
So close to the feeling of not wearing a shirt at all. Even after a hard run this shirt dries quicker than anything else I own. It moves with me without fail.
I love this thing. I work out in it. I sleep in it. It is crazy soft. Being a redhead, I love the long sleeve sun protection without being too hot. It dries very quickly and has also become a go to top for sleeping. My toughest morning choice is hood or no hood. Only complaint would be please give me more colors!!
Good all-around sun shirt that's not too hot in warm temps + quite durable. Have worn for climbing, surfing, running... I do wish it was more breathable. It can feel pretty sticky/clingy. Makes you miss the old merino blend, knit type shirts. The sizing would be improved by a slim fit. I'm 6'2 185lbs and right between M/L. The M fits... Read More better than the L (massive), but it's too short under a harness and tight around the arms.

I originally bought this after getting super sunburned a couple weeks ago with the intention that I would wear it primarily for watersports and backpacking, but I like it so much that I have been wearing it ... Read Moreall the time. It's very breathable, enough so that I can wear it on sunny 95F days and still be comfortable in long sleeves.
The only thing I wouldn't wear it for is outside work; it's very thin and I doubt it would be particularly durable in rough applications.
I really like the shirt. Since I mainly use it for hiking, UV protection is a big plus. I have washed the shirt several times but color does not fade. The only negative is 2 1/2" long care instruction tag. It's itchy and very annoying. I will cut it off and see how it goes.
Patagonia makes a lot of great stuff and this is one of those items. I wear it for just about everything. Im really hard on clothes whether its work or play and except for some small abrasion marks on the front from moving boulders around in my yard last month this shirt can take a beating.
This shirt is so versatile... Im a climber a runner a mountain biker... a world traveler...I can wear it on a plane... in the heat of Cambodia... climbing in Nepal ... mountain biking in New Zealand... or to dinner with my non profit I started.. its truly my go to shirt.. plus its light super comfortable and its eco friendly!!

Ive worn your gear since the beginning and it gets better and better!!
Im a woman, Ive read the reviews for the womens capilene long sleeved, and was discouraged to buy it. I look over to the mens capilene long sleeve shirt, saw it was loose fitting (what I wanted). Wearing it, its kept me cool, and does not ride up, not too tight, breathable. Id run in direct sunlight wearing this shirt, and I feel cool, my sweat is ... Read Morewicked away. Its a great feeling when running :) would recommend/buy more in different colors!
It is the most comfortable shirt I've ever worn outside in the summer. It wicks my sweat, lets me feel the breeze, and keeps my skin out of the sun. It fits large like most medium shirts, my build seems to be in between small and medium.
If you're buying this product you might as well buy 7 (depending on your laundry schedule). This is my go to shirt for the summer! I usually don't do the long sleeve route, but since this product is so soft and comfortable I don't notice it at all. I have the hooded version as well. I tend to not use the hood very much.

I want to really love this shirt...but...its a couple inches too short. Man, if this was a tad longer Id probably where this shirt 24/7 365 because it is super comfy!
I have 4 of these shirts, which are absolutely my favorite shirts. The one thing I would suggest, to make the shirts perfect, is if they were 1-1/2 longer. Whenever I bend over, my lower back is definitely seeing daylight. Other than that, I think they are great.
I chose this long sleeve over the women’s due to its true crew cut neck and relaxed fit. The women’s is just too low cut for me personally. This shirt is ultra soft and comfy, great for any outdoor activity! I liked it so much I bought two! I just wish there were more color options.
This shirt is made for performing at a high level. I've been wearing this shirt to the gym for awhile now and can't believe how comfortable and cool I feel when I'm breaking a sweat. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the sleeves wear just a bit short on my arms. I don't mind rolling my sleeves up though be... Read Morecause the shirt looks great either way. Highly recommend this product! I'm 6'2, weigh 195lbs and wear a size M.
The recipient of this gift has several of these shirts and loves them. I cannot personally testify to its comfort or durability but I can pass along the endorsement of someone who wears it often.
The cool daily is a silky shirt. Smooth to touch. Runs true to size. Looks great. Can be worn as a layer or on its own. Feels durable. It's dry literally as soon as you pull it from the wash. It's a great shirt. I need more.
I have Cap Daily hoodys and Cap Daily long-sleeve shirts. So, so comfortable day in, day out. They breathe/wick very well, protect from the sun and never smell ripe when worn for an extended period. A favorite to wear just about anytime. I'm 6'/190# and the large is perfect.
this is truly a daily tee...I bought 2 to replace a silk weight version I put through the ringer for 16+ years...highly recommend as a base layer or everyday wear depending on temps and activity.
Extremely lightweight yet provides amazing amount of warmth!
OK for me while Indoor / outdoor comfort for dry weather between 40-55 degrees comfort with no top coat, hoodie etc.
I super love this long sleeve. It works great under a warm hard shell or rain jacket or adds just bit more warmth under a hoody. It is effectively dry after the laundry is done.
TOO LOOSE AND SLEVES ARE NOT CUFFED SO TOO LONG FOR ME. NO FUN TO TURN UP SLEEVES. PLEASE BETTER DESCRIBE SIZING. I WEAR XL IN MOST AND OLDER PATAGONIA SHIRT IS XL AND FITS. SEEMS 1 SIZE TOO LARGE.
Hi Hoy, we're sorry about the fit being an issue with the Capilene Daily Shirt you ordered. We 'd be happy to return or exchange for and item that works better for you. We'll reach out to you with more information on how to get that shirt back to us.
Very comfortable to wear, one of the best skin feel of any shirt I've had. Completely different from basic polyester shirts.
The UPF fabric has helped both myself and my wife. She can get sun rash issues on her arm but wearing these shirts have helped with that.
Sizing wise when I tried it in store the small fit better than a medium (I... Read More7;m 5'10 and 165 lbs), but when I got the small online it was a bit tighter. Not sure if a QC issue or just the store one had stretched out a bit over time.
Could not ask for a better product. I have 2 of the Ms Long sleeved Capilene Shirts and could not pick a better active wear product for Phoenix hiking, biking and for everything.
I use this shirt usually as an undershirt (under a pilot’s uniform) for its SPF while sitting in a cockpit in the bright sun all day. For this purpose it had to not have any logo or design or words on it anywhere (except below the belt). It works great for that, though the sleeves are a bit short for me (my fault though as I am only 6’ tall but hav... Read Moree 36” arms). Recommended for most moderate and upright activities, meaning not for water wear, climbing or yoga (too loose for those). Two gripes: the tag on the inside lower left pokes me (solved with scissors) and it comes with WAY too much packaging, especially considering Patagonia’s admirable environmental consciousness.
If Only My Wardrobe Only Consisted Of These Shirts
I'd probably be the happiest person in the world if I only owned these as my shirts. Perfect for anything - River Trips, Mountain Biking, Hiking, Fishing, Under the jacket for skiing, or even casually at work or out on the town. I'm in love. Thanks Patagonia.
Pros: the shirt is incredibly light, and does an excellent job of blocking the sun as a single layer. It is cool, even in hot sun. I like the lack of distracting logo too.
Cons: the sleeves were too short for me. I’m an average hiker in the backcountry (tall and lean) so I ordered a small. The torso fit well (even a bit billowy In the wind) but t... Read Morehe sleeves could have been at least an inch or two longer.
The biggest problem was aesthetic. I ordered a white shirt (for maximum sun reflection) and it got dirty! Just from the dust of backpacking for 5 days, my crew had a running joke that I had a different shirt for each day of the trip because it kept getting darker and darker. I would definitely order one of the gray-tone colors next time to hide this. It did not wash out either, even after twice in the machine.

Too boxy
I would give this 5 stars except for the fit. The M is the right length but is way too loose/baggy, the S is the right trim but is too short. I would love to see an athletic cut for all the capilene cool tops.

Fantastic shirt
I use this for mountain biking. Long sleeve protects from the sun. The light material keeps me cool all ride long. My Patagonia gear is hands down better than my mountain bike big brand clothes. It's not even close.
I bought the shirt for summer tennis in Florida. It's good for that purpose, keeping the sun off my arms. I wish Patagonia would make the shirt with a collar, so I could get more neck protection. And the sleeves on the large size are long for me (5-9, 170).
We recently traveled to the South (U.S.) in July and as I'm very sensitive to the sun but knew we'd be in extreme heat and humidity, wanted a shirt that was protective (long sleeves) but not hot. These shirts were all that and more! Feels like you are wearing nothing--or maybe something made from spider webs--they are so light and comfort... Read Moreable. Sometimes Patagonia stuff is cut too narrow for my broad shoulders and aging body, but these are not in my correct size (about 135lbs, 5'6", long-waisted, and a medium fit perfectly--even the arms and, like I said, I have broad shoulders. I'm also a 32DDD and there's no pulling in the bust). I've ordered several more and always take them when I travel. Was most recently on the Washington coast--these wash out in the sink and dry overnight (or faster), don't stink, take up NO room in a suitcase or any type of bag, and it's great to have the versatility of a long sleeve that works in heat or cooler weather. Cannot say enough good things!
On hot days, wearing this shirt outside keeps me cooler than wearing no shirt at all. It is surprisingly lightweight. It wicks moisture better than anything I've worn while also preventing your skin from absorbing heat. If you lightly dampen it before putting it on, it feels like an air conditioner every time the wind blows.
Absolutely love all y’alls gear. Fits incredibly, is comfy, and your brand is something I can get behind! Oh not to mention the style you’ll have if you buy Patagonia!
I have several of these because they are an amazing piece of technology. I wear them instead of sunscreen on my arms. They feel cool on my skin in intense heat. They make a great base layer in cold weather too. They wear like iron but are soft as butter. I like the colors, especially the blue.
My first 4 pairs of these shirts and I LOVE LOVE them. They are much better than the Trail version. Very soft, well-made, functional, practical ..... for every activity. My use of them - wear them to work with a solid white crew tee, to the gym, cat walking, running around in town, etc etc. Keep making them and add more colors.
I have two these shirts and where them regularly. They are lightweight, breathable, and great for layering. I will likely buy more of them, but they need to be washed so infrequently because of the material they are made of that I always seem to have a clean one. Also, they are super soft and cozy. :)
I'll be purchasing another as this is perfect for hot sunny days when you need full protection from the sun and would rather avoid having to cover yourself in sunscreen. It also dries quickly and is one of the softest shirts I own.
I have several of these long sleeved shirts. I particularly like this generation of material for its weight and feel. I use these as sun shirts when I am on the water as well as anytime I am exercising. I also particularly like wearing simple white shirts.
This is an awesome shirt for hikes, runs, wandering in cities, or chilling at home. Unfortunately it doesn't come in slim fit like the capilene lightweight cool, but that shirt has other problems: it frays easily. This shirt is the way to go, but if you are slim it will be a little baggy.
This long sleeve base layer has been exactly what I was hoping for. I have been wearing it all summer for hikes in the NH White Mtns and looking forward to using it all year round.
If its not shielding the UV rays, the layer is keeping the bugs from biting, all the while wicking the sweat and keeping me regulated
It has kept its shape (especially... Read More the sleeves when I have hitched them up now and then)

I live in a desert climate with lots of sun and 90 to 100 deg summer temps. This shirt is super lightweight, full sleeve sun protection that moves moisture really well.

Read Mores slim fit. So far (2 months) the durability is not an issue, but they are so lightweight I worry how they would stand up to bushwhacking where brush or branches were grabbing the material or abrasion during climbing/scrambling.
Best shirt I've ever owned for outdoor recreational activities. Just got back from 6 day backpacking in the sierras. Lightweight, cool and SPF 50. Wore it while hiking and also slept in it on cool nights. Rinsed it and it dried super fast. I want another one!
White upf50 longsleeve that is lighter than the discontinued REI ones? Yes please. This works on hot trips like summer climbing at Lovers Leap and Joshua Tree and great as a next-to-skin base layer on cold trips like Mt Lassen and Whitney.
I have a 3 suggestions to make it better that are all related to cut/fit:

- the sl... Read Moreeeves come up a little short
- the neck opening is unusually large
I have been using it on hot sunny days fishing. Not to hot, wicks moisture. I would definitely buy this again. It beats having to worry about reapplying sunscreen to your back and shoulders all day.
Great shirt!! Extreamly comfortable and perfect for days in the sun. It does shrink a little after washing and drying a few times. That could be my fault. Maybe it shouldnt be dried. Still a great shirt!!
My original “flyweight” shirts, as they were once called, have lasted for twenty years and are still in regular use. The new shirts seem to be made as well as the old ones, with some improvement by adding a bit of stretch. These are terrific garments, worn alone in summer or as a silk-like base layer in winter.
I really love this shirt! I bought three different colors so I can wear them whenever I am in the sun and need a light shirt. It is so comfortable and soft that it feels good to wear all day. The sweat wicks away fast and it is good to go in the water with. It is light and thin and just wonderfully made! Thank you!
Love the lightness and style of this shirt as well as the fit but the claim of the material not getting stinky does not hold up! Prefer cotton or wool depending on the use.
Using this shirt for UV protection in the west Texas heat, and it has performed well. Light, fairly stylish for performance wear, and comfortable enough to wear around the house as well. Has a fairly slim fit, so order up if you're on the larger side of the equation.
We are sorry to hear that these shrunk after washing multiple times. As long as you are following the washing instructions, our products should maintain their shape and size. We'd recommend you [send](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html#searchterm=return) those back to us and [contact](https://www.patagonia.com/customer-service.html#searchterm=contact) us to ensure you are washing them properly.

Well worth the money
Extremely comfortable - light - durable - attractive - keeps me cool in the South Florida sun , heat and humidity. Thank you Patagonia.
This shirt is good, and has the potential to be great. The material is very comfortable. The "Feather Grey" color has a subtle, flattering texture. I wish the torso and sleeves were longer. I also wish the neck opening was not so loose. Hopefully they will change those things in the next version.
Its been a cool May so far so I haven'ttested on 100 degrees yet, however it performed great on a short hike today in full sun and 80 degrees. A little over 3 miles on South Mountain and total of about two hours exposed and i was comfortable the whole time. The kicker was my wife gave me a hug when i got home and she exclaimed “You dont’t stin... Read Morek?!” Hahaha, anyway I am 6ft 190 pounds but I got the XL beacuse i like a relaxed fit for my hiking shirts. A large would have been perfect for a normal fit and it has a good deal of stretch or give. I will be buying some more.
