I haven't loved a simple shirt like this in a long time. It's comfortable and is a great base layer.

I bought a few of these shirts for a Wilderness travel trip to Scotland but I have been wearing them every day, in the winter, as a base layer inside my 98 year old bungalow in Denver. I find they eliminate the need for 3 heavy layers. They wash up well, hang dry fast and no stink!
Comfortable, warm, great alone, under jackets, sweaters, sweatshirts, etc., or under jackets/shells. The material is also breathable. I have a small build with broad shoulders and long arms, and I wear a Large because I like some roominess. This is a staple - I love it and own several in both long and short sleeves.
I was surprised by how this shirt worked so well as a layer in winter. I wear it under my wool sweater, and it is soft and fitting next to the skin. I like the lighter layers under wool as I get too hot and can start to sweat, but this work worked really well to prevent that. I have had to remove layers with wool sweaters, and it is a pain. I will ... Read Moreuse this combo of this shirt and wool sweaters any day!
I love these shirts. I burn easily so I wear these all summer. They breathe and the grey doesn't really show sweat. They're great for hiking, running, and water sports.
I have 3 of these in different colors. You can wear alone or as a layer- multiple uses. I wear it for yoga, hiking, and casual wear. Easy care and packable.
I have multiple colors and styles of Capilene Cool Daily Shirt -- Long sleeve, short sleeve and tanks. They are so comfortable, look great, versatile for travel, and don't wrinkle when packed. Fit is true to size but on the loose side. Great for layering.
I own quite a few Patagonia Capilene shirts and they are amazing. They go from being an extra layer under a scrub shirt at work in winter to an extra layer hiking. The shirt helps keep you cool in the summer, but adds a warm layer when needed as well.
Excellent long sleeved capilene shirt-warm, but wicks well so never hot. Launders well, but I hang to dry, so uncertain if it does well in dryer. Good variety of colors to choose from.
I bought one of these on sale a few months ago. I bought another one in black because it has become a staple at this point. I love how it's not tight or form fitting. It fits just right. I use it for running, hiking, or casual days. I love that it's not heavy weight. Perfect for layering. I will definitely be buying a few more.
These shirts are great. I would give a 5 rating if you add a little more stretch and better colors. But, they are still fantastic shirts.

These are great for hiking, working out, walking, work, dressing up or down. They dry quickly , can rinse out in sink while on travel and they are dry in the morning. Provide good sun protection. Don't change crew neck in favor of scoop neck, because then there isn't sun protection.

This was my first Capilene product, and it's officially the most comfortable shirt I own. Also, the fast-drying, HeiQ technologies make it quite versatile and utilitarian.

Versatile shirt. Very easy to wash out and wear the next day while hiking. Provides good protection, nice and light. Only issue is that I don't like the x-dye, look at all, since that looks more masculine and the colors aren't feminine or pretty.
I find this shirt runs small, I usually wear size S, but prefer M in these cap cool shirts. They are so comfy, perfect for hiking, camping, even work around the yard. I like the sun protection, and it washes nicely. Our whole family has collected up these shirts.
This shirt is a lightweight, basically see-through, material. I usually wear a petite in other brands, so it is long on my arms and torso. But it is very comfortable, and I plan to wear it for multiple indoor and outdoor occasions. It fits me like a tunic.
I have four long sleeve, four short sleeve and three hoodies and these Capilene Cool Daily shirts are my favorite and pretty much the only shirts I wear on a daily basis.

I really appreciate having a long sleeved shirt that I can wear while playing tennis during the day.

I also wear this shirt at the beach because it drys super fast so I can swim in it!
I love the silky soft feel of these shirts. I have several of these cool daily shirts in short sleeve, long sleeve, sleeveless and long sleeve hoodies. I wear them almost every day
I love that I can wear this shirt biking during the day and to dinner at night! It's great for cool summer mornings and will make a nice base layer when cooler temps arrive.
Tried this out on a hike today, 25 degrees (77 degrees) and cloudy with a little breeze. Above these temperatures I'd opt for the short sleeve but this shirt performed perfectly and I didn't need to think about sunblock on my arms. Looks great in gray. Long sleeves in summer, who knew? (Everyone but me apparently.)
Well designed, lightweight, high quality fabric, multiple uses
Patagonia is a company I purchase from often because their products are high quality, well designed, fit well and have multiple uses. I wanted a lightweight long sleeve shirt in white and Patagonia was my best option.
True to size. Like that it falls mid to lower hip on me. Fabric is excellent for wicking moisture away from the skin. Love the feel of the fabric on my skin and fabric moves well.
I ordered this shirt because I work outside at farmers markets and did not want to spend the day feeling sweaty and clammy while dealing with customers.

This is the perfect sun protection shirt for outdoor summer activities. I wear it for biking, hiking and speed walking. After getting skin cancer I am careful to wear long sleeves. This shirt is breathable and cool enough for hot summer temperatures and quite comfortable for exercise and movement. I only wish it was available in more colors!
We appreciate your feedback and we're glad this shirt works so well for you! Our Capilene Cool Daily shirt has an approximate sun protection rating of 35 UPF. You can expect to see more colors released with our Fall 2022 product drop. Thanks for the review, Elizabeth!

Good cooling features for a long-sleeve hiking shirt
Because I am sensitive to the sun, I have to wear long-sleeve tees or shirts on the trail. Not ideal on a hot day, I guess. However, this shirt is pretty light weight, and when I sweat and move fast enough, the evaporation provides a cooling effect. I'm really glad Patagonia makes this shirt with long sleeves!
Being medium dark complected, I ... Read Morewish the shirt came in more medium shades. So far, I have the Feather Grey, Rosehip and Viking Blue. If it came in suitable green and purple shades, I would buy them too!
Use these Long-Sleeved Capilene® Cool Daily Shirt as t-shirts and base layers. They are both cool and warm. They are silky comfortable, light, pack down to nothing. They are easily hand washed and and quickly line dried. Wanted a tunic length and medium is just ok. Too big in the chest and back area. Am a petite woman at 5' 3" 111 pounds,... Read More but prefer men's extra small for the cover your butt length with leggings and slim, but not tight fit. Excellent high quality product. Nicer fabric than other name brand rash guard tops.

Year round comfort. Great base layer in winter, good sun protection in summer, cozy enough to sleep in. These shirts wash beautifully, never wrinkle, are soft and comfy. Please never stop making these.
I have two of these about ten years old, at that time branded "silkweight." I have worn these over the years and refused to throw them out, in spite of stains and being overall worn. I have acquired other baselayers and just didn't realize these were still available until I discovered in the Ventura store this spring. I immediately p... Read Moreurchased three in different colors. The best asset is the versatility. I wore these on a four day, 200 mile, mountain bike trip through Idaho in triple degree temps. I rotated my two each day (preferring the light lavender to the darker green) and these kept me the most comfortable and refreshed of the 13 in our group. They keep the moisture in and protect skin from the sun. Conversely, I wear these at end of the day to run at the beach in early evenings, hiking, and also have worn them road biking with and without my biking jacket. They provide a layer of just the right coverage when anything warmer would be too much. I've also worn them layered for skiing and early morning runs when traveling in colder climates. I also love to snuggle in these in evenings after my ocean swims or at home with a pair of sweats when I want something on my arms. Essentially, they keep me cool and keep me warm. I cannot say enough about these shirts. I am careful not to wear them doing yard work as they are thin and, while mine are fully intact, they easily could snag. I gifted one to my brother years ago when I first discovered them, and he wore his working around the yard and such, and it did snag and tear with his heavier use. I have a closet full of Patagonia, and these are the most versatile of any of their clothing. I'm ready to order two more, one in each the yellow and gray, because these are my go-to activity shirt.
Love the weight and fit of this shirt. Its definitely roomy but I want that when Im being active. I bought the white and its a nice thickness, not see through at all yet light weight.
Very comfy and keeps me nice and warm. Just ordered another one for next winter. Love the length - perfect for my 5 10 height! Enjoy wearing these shirts a lot.
This shirt fits perfect, is incredibly soft and comfortable and keeps you cool when it's hot out even being long sleeved. I definately need it in more colors!!
My husband and I travel lengthy vacations 2 up on a motorcycle. He already had a Capilene shirt that he loved and recommended that I get one for our upcoming trip across the United States.

Protects from sun. Good fit. Love the colors.
Likely, I will order at least another shirt in blueI have 3 already.
Very comfortable to wear
Washes up beautifully.
Highly recommend.
I have several colors, I bought the hoodies , as well in the same material! Soft, washes well, no wrinkles, great product! Waiting on more colors Patagonia!
Cool to touch, soft, I have three of them! Blue, coral & black! I wish for more colors! I have a hoody in the same fabric and I bought one for my daughter and one my son in law! They love theirs, as well!
Patagonia, please bring us more cute colors!
I wore it today, starting from 45 degrees to 75 and I felt perfectly comfortable all day. I was doing lots of lifting, bending and moving and again, felt completely comfortable with the fabric and the fit. Exactly what I was looking for, and looks nice too.
I have four of these tops and love them for hiking. Because of the sleek feel of the fabric its super easy as a base garment to layer under a capilene air hoody (my dream combo) in colder weather.

I love this shirt. I bought one color and then purchased three more. It is perfect for casual wear as a first layer and for outdoor activities. I love the fit and feel. Great shirt!
I have the Capilene Cool shirt in all six colors. I live in a warm climate where I use it for everyday wear. It works for tennis since it cools but avoids sunburn. Wear for horseback riding, hiking and working in dog rescue. I have worn Patagonia for years but this is a great product at a reasonable price.
I bought two of these because I have two friends who love theirs and wear them frequently. Im probably between a small and a medium and might have been happy with a small. So far I love how carefree they are and how comfortable they feel. Since its still winter, Ive been wearing them under turtlenecks and they feel as good as my silk scoopneck long...

Patagonia Capilene Cool shirts are my go to shirts for hiking so I wear them a lot. They are thin enough that can be warn in warm weather.

As I've reviewed with other colors, I own dozens of these in all colors, and I wear them every day of the year here in the PNW. I like them baggy, but M would be my true size.
I rotate wearing my six Patagonia shirts summer and winter--in winter under sweaters and in summer as a top that protects my arms from sunburn. They are fabulous. They wash without showing wear (my white one shows a bit of wear on the cuffs after raspberry picking!) and they hang dry quickly.... so perfect for travel.
I like the idea of this shirt but am not happy with the sizing. Based on traditional women's sizing - with the expectation of everything fitting snuggly - I would wear a large (5'4", 150 lbs), but I always size up to an XL in shirts because I don't like them to be tight. I know this shirt is regular fit and therefore looser, but... Read More the XL is enormous. It easily feels like an XXL (if not bigger) and looks ridiculous on me. Unfortunately the color on sale sold out quickly so I wasn't able to exchange it for the correct size. Perhaps I'll give these another go the next time they're on sale, but not loving them enough to try them for full price.
The color selection of these shirts is atrocious. Why is Patagonia ignoring so many women's requests for a decent choice of colors? These shirts sell out every year, so there's really no reason to not sell them in nicer more attractive colors.
Hey Jill! Thanks for taking the time to write this review. We are always looking for way to improve and appreciate your feedback!

Great for everything!
I love my new Capilene Cool Daily Shirt. I really wear it for everything: cross country skiing, hiking, sailing and warming the couch. Mine is yellow-so cheerful! And it matches the tabs on my retro vest.
I LOVE this shirt for backpacking sun protection. Its perfect all day for slightly cool mornings and hot days. It breathes so well and doesnt get stinky. Please make them in more light colors, like light blue, lavender, light pink, etc.
I own this is black, white and a bluish color for a few year's ago. I have been trying to buy more in every color, but nothing you have offered has worked for me. You should make in every color.

I can wear it to bed, to workout in and then under a blazer for work. That's why I need plain. You just don't offer it in enough colors currently. Please expand plain colors, no logo, no x-dye, no heathered, no scoop neck, just the way the black is, but navy, a pretty pink, fushia, red, purple, andes blue, etc. would be wonderful!
I love patagonia's capilene shirts. This long-sleeve is great to layer under a sweater (yay sweater weather!) or wearing it alone while paddling or hiking. It is super quick-drying, thin but durable. I am 5'3, 150lbs with muscle arms, bigger belly and a medium chest and I wear a size Large (it is a little loose on me, which I prefer).
Best shirt for all activities. Its so soft and doesnt snag on skin. Perfect for cool early mornings and those hot mid day treks to protect skin from harsh sun. I own this shirt in t shirt and tank as well. I am between a medium and large. I size up and layer underneath in warmer weather for versatile wear. THE BEST!
I have this shirt in 4 colors. I wear it everyday when I go out running or on hikes. It is lightweight and dries quickly. It gives great sun protection so I don't need to put sunscreen all over my arms. The fit is classic and roomy.
This is my second shirt like this. I have worn it alone or as a layering piece. The shirt breathes so as you heat up from activity it wicks. When you cool down it isn't clammy or won't stick to you. I wash it in cold water and dry in low heat, it comes out great. I have worn it paddle boarding to protect from the sun and it dries quickly.... Read More
Kept me cool throughout a hike in the desert canyons and cool through hot softball games. I usually feel like my skin is burning, but not with this shirt .

I had an old (like 1988) Caprilene shirt that was not fitting me as comfortably 30 years on. I wanted a more relaxed fit for my older but still active life lifestyle. This one may outlast me! And I still kept my old one.
I have broad shoulders and most shirts are usually tight on my arms, but this fit is fantastic. Super pleased with the cut and material. Wore it cycling the other day and was really impressed with the wicking capability. I think I owned one of these back in 2002, but not since, and I'm really pleased. It's a solid price point too.
Ive been buying these for almost a decade and they are amazing. I like that the extra seams were removed in this version. I wish the white has not sold out but black is nice too.
This is a great base layer, shirt or even for business under a jacket or cardigan. The fabric feels like silk and the fit is great; slightly tapered, but not fitted
I like this because it fits loosely, not as tight as another brand I had tried. It is good for someone who does a lot of walking because of its SPF protection.
I looooove this shirt, I just wish it came in more colors! Were in the middle of a military move between Virginia and Arizona and the temps have been everywhere from below freezing to the 90s and this shirt is always comfy, flattering and a good choice!
I normally buy medium sized shirts. Because of the other helpful reviews, I bought a small and am glad I did because it fits well.

Light cool shirt
Very comfortable & fits well. The fabric is light and good in warm weather.
Great shirt for being in the sun, keeps you protected and cool. I could wear when I visit cold weather as an undershirt, will give me a nice base layer.
I purchased this to wear hiking on hot days. I loved it so much I bought another! I purchased the blue, it is a beautiful color and the material feels soft against the skin. I'm very happy with my purchase!
I love these shirts! They do cling a bit, but are cut well. I love that the fabric is not prone to pilling. There is another similar style to this short but with different material. This version is WAY better. I own this in several colors of each cuttank, short sleeve and the long sleeve.
I'm still trying to decide whether to keep this or not. I took it on a 6 hour day hike last weekmost of it above treelineand I did get a little sunburned on my shoulders.

Great Warm Weather Shirt
I have traveled to some VERY hot, 90+ places. Discovered Cap Cool in a town in the Dolomites. It was and is absolutely great. Thus long sleeve version fills the same ap in temps while being cool. It's also has an SPF of 50 I think which is great and even better at altitude, for example Lake Titicaca at 11,500 feet and higher!
I bought a cool capilene short sleeve shirt while on a trip in the Italian Dolomites. LOVED IT. The weather was 90-100F. When I saw a long sleeve version such as this I grabbed it.
I bought it in several colors because I loved last year's version that had the same name except for "cool". These are about 1 size bigger so I went down a size. The sleeves are a little shorter but it works. On very cold days I may wear it as an undergarment . I sleep in one every night of the year. Can't imagine being without t... Read Morehem.
Love this light shirt. I want to wear it all the time. Amazing for everyday light weight wear and even on 80 degree days in sun, not too hot! I wear kayaking, walking the dog, you name it. Love that I dont have to wear sunscreen under it.
Ive bought several different sun shirts from Patagonia, and this is the lightest and softest of them all. Im 58, 155lbs, and between a M and L in Patagonia clothes. I tend to size up for length and went with with a large. It is slightly baggy in the torso, but the length and weight of the fabric are great.

This is an awesome shirt. It keeps me cool in the Florida heat, whether wearing it for protection when I walk or swim. Washes well, maintains color and shape. No negatives!
I'm typically a small in Patagonia (5'3" 112 lbs), but this was overall way too large (sleeves went to the base of my fingers). Loose and unflattering, sadly. (Can't comment on performance.) I'll try the XS.
Thanks for these details regarding sizing and fit,Tracey! Please let us know if you'd like any [help](https://help.patagonia.com/s/) to return this shirt. Feel free to submit a new review of the XS if you'd like to add anything about fabric and performance.

Great shirt but...
I was hoping this shirt would have the same fit as the Capilene graphic shirt, but it doesn't exactly. This shirt is baggier than the graphic one. The fit in the arms is bigger.

The shirt is very comfortable even when hiking in temperatures in the 80s. Able to wear multiple days in a row on an extended backpacking trip without any noticeable odor (which usually happens with other shirts).

Again, please add some new ... Read Morecolors in this style. I will def buy!!! Today, I'm online to buy the same three colors again.
I am 5'3", 103lbs, thin frame with long arms and climbing shoulders. I originally purchased an XS which fits true to size.

I purchased this after a Spring sunburn while biking under the Colorado sun. After wearing it running, hiking and biking I bought 3 more!

The fit is generous but tailored rather than boxy making it more flattering. Sufficient arm And torso length; sits just right, below the waist so no gap when leaning forward or bending over.
I purchased this shirt with the intent to use it for some extra sun protection during the summer and am very happy with it. Its light enough to wear in 90+ degree weather without overheating and easy to bring along on any trip.
I love this shirt so much I bought a second for me and a gift for my daughter. Bought it for the sun protection, which works well. Ive worn it boating and hiking and have stayed comfortable and cool. Fit is not too tight but not too big. Sleeves are a bit long on me but they stay rolled up.
At 5'1" and 112, I probably could go with an x-small, but I was so pleased with the fabric and comfort that I didn't want to return the small. I wear this shirt a lot. Cools and protects in the heat. Love it.
This is the perfect shirt for boating/surfing when youve been in the sun all day and just want some relief. You stay cool, are protected from the sun, and the fit is great. I sized up to a M for a looser fit. Pairs great with baggies for a water friendly outfit.
