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 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 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.
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.
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. I didn't return it because I figured it might be good to wear for hikes and things like that, since I still love the material of this shirt, it's so cooling ... Read Moreand soft and nice.
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).
These shirts are perfect. Wish there were more colors. Yellow is not my color, and black is too dark, so I got the white, gray and blue. I love these so much for keeping the sun off, and actually keeping cooler, when we are mountain biking, playing tennis and hiking. I love the fit for me and where them just around town. 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 with using it as a sun shirt for running and mountain biking in mind. I ended up returning the XS and purchased a Small so that I had more room for air flow and to fit my elbow pads inside. The Small ... Read Morewas roomier, the length of sleeves fitted my arms a little better than the XS, and fit my elbow pads without having to stretch any of the material.
The Capilene Cool Daily material is one of the best materials for moisture wicking, comfort during high output activities (and even just lounging around), and provides great sun protection. Definitely recommend!
I purchased this after a Spring sunburn while biking under the Colorado sun. After wearing it running, hiking and biking I bought 3 more! It really does cool when you wear it, better once you start sweating. I don't wear sunscreen under and no burns. I bought some for my boys for boating and fishing and they love them too. They are loose fitti... Read Moreng and I really like that as I think the air flow is important for cooling.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Got the Navy Blue and Feather grey, love the colors. I am ~5'4", 125-130 lbs and these fit perfectly. They are nice lose fit (not snug but not baggy). I wanted something I could wear for my bike rides in Boulder CO and these are the best sun cover plus feel breathble. Have been using these for my evening walks as well and will buy again!

This is my first piece that has spf protection, as I live in CA I thought I would need one for super lightweight, and feel amazing on the skin.washed it twice so far and they hold up pretty well. I would purchase more in the future, if the price was a bit cheaper. Otherwise, summer must have piece!!
I wear this to play tennis outdoors for optimal sun protection. The material is great in the sense that I don't overheat--even in 90+ degree weather--and it doesn't snag with my tennis elbow band on top of it. (Velcro can really take a toll on fabric.) My only complaint is that the neck opening could be slightly smaller. I had a fly fishi... Read Moreng top from Patagonia that kept me cool, and protected the base of my neck, but this top does not. Please start making a non-hooded SPF shirt again with better shoulder/neck protection. :-) In the meantime, this is a good alternative as I own 5.
I wanted a long sleeve shirt to protect me when running in warmer weather. I adore this shirt! It is a favorite now. I want to wear it for every run! I debated on getting it becuase of the price, but so worth it. I may buy in every color now.
I use this shirt for running outside when I don't want to put sunscreen on my arms. It works really well! I'm not sure why Patagonia makes the armholes so small in relation to the rest of the shirt - I would have sized down if not for this. Also the shoulder seams are more scratchy than, say, Lululemon long sleeves or other active wear sh... Read Moreirts. I would buy a few of these if they were made in more colours with slightly bigger armholes!
Love this shirt! You can wear during AM morning run, or as under layer for skiing/ snowshoeing. I prefer sizing up for this shirt as I like it to fit loose. This is my go to for all seasons.
Love it. Just beat skin cancer (Merkel cell carcinoma). I feel this is my shield from the sun. The shirt breaths, comfortable and now purchasing for family members
Purchased this shirt as a base layer for going out on the water. Love! Very comfortable, the material breaths, And youre getting sun protection.

I have nothing but love for these shirts. They are my go-to option for summer fieldwork. I would love a few more color options (sans graphic) to add to the 5 I own!
Purchased for lightweight sun protection and cool morning walk/runs. It delivers. I like a roomy fit, so bought a size up. If you want a more fitted look buy your normal size.
As a 6 mth Merkel cell carcinoma skin cancer survivor, I don't go outside without it! I feel more at ease with the protection of your shirt to continue to block the sun's harmful rays. Thank you for an incredible product. I have a few and now are getting them for my family members.
I was hoping this would be a little more fitted (to be more flattering) but I still find myself wearing it constantly. I stay cool and consider it a no-brainer whenever I will be outside in the sun for longer than a few minutes. I hope they make something like this soon that is a little more fitted and flattering - I will buy 10 of them.
I recently went on a backpacking trip with my friends (while social distancing). I wore the blue capilene and didnt notice how hot it was until my friends said they were burning! I also wore the shirt for two days and it didnt have an odor. I have this long sleeve in black, grey, and blue, and Im quite impressed at how cool it keeps me!
I wore this to run today. I have tried tons of long sleeved shirts as I get skin cancer a lot. Its nice bit my complaint is that the neck is wide. Its nearly a boat neck. It leaves a lot of area uncovered. Wish that were better. Id have to slather on sun cream (and stain the shirt) or wear a hot neck band. Ugh.
Great shirt. Fits perfectly. Cool in recent 90 degree heat. Great fabric. Washes easily in cold water and it dries quickly. Comfortable and good range of colors.
I bought this shirt to use for sun protection when running and hiking in Southern CA. It is lightweight, breathable, sweat wicking and provides total sun protection. The fit is slightly loose and not slim . I love it and have it in 3 colors.
Purchased this in white. I wear it while hiking and climbing in 80- 100 degree weather. Works great for sun protection and to keep me cool. I wear this a couple times before washing and it holds up fine to smells. The only thing- the white stains easily and I don't know how to get it clean properly. Currently, I'm washing this through the... Read More normal washer/dryer and the dirt, sweat, and stains seem to stay on this fabric. This is a huge downside, because I have only had this shirt for a couple weeks and it seems very dingy. Would not recommend this in white, but recommend the product for the sun protection benefits.
Thank you for the comments and we are happy to hear the functionality of this shirt is working well. Nonetheless, we know those stains are likely frustrating. Please visit our product care [page](https://www.patagonia.com/product-care.html) for info on stain removal and contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

Too Large
I was surprised by the sizing as I always have worn your shirts in a medium. The quality didn't seem the same which saddens me. I have loved your shirts and hope you will change back to how they used to be.

go to shirt
Nice length, loose fit, my goto shirt for pretty much everything from running to biking, to hanging out at home.
I love Patagonia. I love this shirt. I don't love that you only offer XXL in a few items. Please, make more size options! Would love to see some more colors in this too since the XXLs are almost sold out!!!
This shirt is my go-to in the sun and when temps reach over 70°. The feel is light but silky. The cut of the neckline is perfect (not a fan of v-necks or low cut shirts in the sun.) Moisture-wicking isn't even noticeable; it's just an effortless but cooling process. I have the graphite blue and only wish there were more primary color opti... Read Moreons as I loathe kiddie pastels. Super reliable and the color/sizing/seams remain the same since day one despite the fact that it endures the extreme cycles of my washer/dryer almost daily. Great investment.
I rarely buy anything full price but I wanted a white, "slippery," thin shirt to wear underneath my Micro-D 1/4 zip fleece. This is perfect! Soft as silk, without the annoying, scratchy sleeve seams of the old Capilene Team Crew shirts. Slides under sweaters and fleece more easily than the Mainstay LS shirt. I love that the sleeves are no... Read Moret skin tight. Also, the white color is perfect - not see through at all.
Now if Patagonia would just make this shirt in a mock turtleneck, which would be perfect for wearing under itchy, wool sweaters!
I am a little obsessed with this shirt. It feels great and fits perfectly. The material is so comfortable and it does a great job when Im outside sweating or just sitting in the office. Absolutely worth every penny and I will definitely be saving up to get some more.
Don't like X-Dye. That is a more masculine look. Please offer solid, nicer or brighter colors. I would buy more if colors were better. Nice comfortable relaxed fabric. This is regular fit, and ample, not slim fit.
We are sorry to hear that this didn't work out for you and we thank you for the feedback. Please note, you are always welcome to [send](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) anything back if you are unsatisfied with it.

Need More
Shirt is pretty decent. I own it in short sleeved and now got it in long sleeved as a gift. Unfortunately, what I've noticed with most of Patagonia's clothes is the women's cut have some mysterious slight scoop neck (contrary to popular belief, a lot of women don't like that). So yay! My sports bra creeps out occasionally. That&... Read More#x27;s fine though, I can handle a little scoop in a well made shirt. However, when coming back to buy more (it really is a nice shirt, wicks well, etc) the colors are blue - the one I own -....white....gray....and black. Hmm. Hop over to the mens section and what do you know, color choices appear. Might have to suck it up with that boxy, slightly too long men's shirt, just to wear something not monochromatic. Please offer some more color choices Patagonia, your loyal female customers will buy them.
These are THE BEST shirts! So light weight and breathable. Quick dry. Sun protection. Can be worn multiple days before washing which is great for the environment too.
I absolutely LOVE this shirt, so much after wearing it I purchased more in different colors and have already recommended it to my friends. It’s perfect for every day, yoga, the gym, travel.
I visited my local store to ask about the fabric of the cool daily and they had the men’s in stock which felt like cotton, but is a performance fabric. YAY, just what I wanted, and I was assured the women’s version would have the same fabric. Ordered it, and DANG, when I received it, it was the same slick, silky feeling performance tee I already ha... Read Moreve. Truly bummed, because then I had to return it to the store or pay the extra shipping - which I hate doing - oh AND I had already gone to the store to find it in the first place!! Wish the stores could stock at least samples of what’s online? If you’re looking for performance tee that feels like cotton, this is not your shirt!
The shirts are supposed to be black... but they’re almost brown. I ordered them for a trip so I did take them with me but didn’t wear them. I have a couple old ones and they’re still black. These new ones are not the same quality as far as color. Really disappointing. Here’s a pic of the old one on the top, new on the bottom. And it’s larger.
Hi Pat! We're sorry to hear that the color is slightly off on your new shirts. If you would like to initiate a return, you are welcome to do so [here](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html#searchterm=return).

So soft and light
I love this shirt. The fabric feels is so soft and light, it’s amazing next to skin. I have it in two colors. The gray is lovely and perfect for sun protection on a hot day.

I bought 3 of these shirts in the spring of 2019 and loved them. This fall, I ordered the black and the white shirts. The fabric is defective--it has permanent creases that won't come out. Please go back to the fabric you used in the spring of 2019!
Hi Mary, thanks for taking the time to write us a review! We're really sorry to hear about the disappointment with the creases that aren't coming out. We haven't made any revisions to the shirt so it's the same material as used in Spring 19'. Nevertheless, your satisfaction is always guaranteed so you're welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html).
Just wore this for the New York Marathon on a cool day with sun and wind and it was perfect. Ordered it after getting one free in my race packet and wearing it in the Grit Series half marathon in cool to hot conditions. It feels silky, looks good enough to wear anywhere and works, my new favorite long sleeved shirt.
I have bought 6 of these shirts. Long and short sleeved. Excellent fit. Size medium. I’m 5’5 “. 140lbs. Wear for a workout and casual wear. Love the colors.
Long sleeved Daily tees have been my go to tops for morning jogging or anything in between.The weight is really great when it is chilly but not cold.

Cool even in 89 degrees + humidity
Got this for a kayaking trip in Florida. I sunburn easily but the UPF 50 kept me in good kit and even though the shirt has long sleeves, I didn’t overheat. Going to use this running as well - super soft and comfortable.
I love my long-sleeved Capilene Cool Daily shirt so much I bought two more! Perfect for layering. So light you can barely tell you are wearing it! Great camping and hiking companion.
this is a great shirt. I use it to go jogging outside when the sun's out. very light and cool and doesn't stick to sweaty body. also priced less than other competitor UPF-rated products. I think it would be great for hiking, too
I got this shirt because I love wearing long sleeve shirts even when it's a little toasty outside. Of course, it is not as cool as a shorter-sleeved shirt, but the capeline cool definitely does a great job of not clinging or making you feel like you're going to overheat. All in all, love it.
This shirt lives up to all the positive reviews! Would love one in every color. I live in the tropics of South Florida and nothing feels as good as this shirt in our sweltering and humid summers!
I cover my arms because of my religion. The Captilene Cool daily is a great summer solution, especially when I’m wearing a sheer over layer or a shorter sleeve top, I don’t get too hot.
This shirt is awesome! The fabric is lightweight and comfortable. The sleeves allow for full range of motion without bunching up. The sleeves are also just the right length (I find that some of Patagonia clothes have super long sleeves). I wear it while running, hiking or over my bathing suit at the beach. It's perfect for anything. I'm d... Read Moreefinitely going to order another one (or two).
Wore this on a breezy August day on a boat off the coast of Maine. Didn't feel sticky when it was hot and gave me some sun and cold protection otherwise. Really like it. Will have to get a couple more in other colors.
I love this shirt so much I have two. I run very hot, and it keeps me cool hiking in 90 degree weather. I have arm tattoos that I'm trying to keep out of the sun, and generally am trying to protect my skin from the sun more, so I literally wear this shirt every camp and hike trip. I love it so much!
Excellent quality but I ordered a Large (because I have a jacket that's a Large) and, surprisingly, that was too big -- really baggy with too-long sleeves. And I didn't love the Viking Blue color. I returned this item and ordered another Capilene option in Medium.
Light-weight, quick-drying. Excellent for sun protection. I have used it for tennis, gym workouts, cycling, and at the beach and pool. Works well on trips since you can rinse it out, let it dry, and wear it again the next day. Great fit — neither too tight nor too loose. As with many other Patagonia products, the sleeves are long enough for my long... Read More arms. I am 5’9” 160-165 lbs. and the Large is perfect.
I like everything about this shirt except for the sizing and purpose. It is a running shirt and I have only worn it once since it is too restricting when I run.

Read Moreght. I have another Patagonia running shirt in size Small that fits perfectly but not this one. Now I have nothing. Very disappointing.
I bought this shirt specifically for a rim to rim hike in the Grand Canyon in August.

I wore that shirt down the North Kaibab trail, thru the Box, jumped in Bright Angel creek, then the next day got up and hiked out of t... Read Morehe canyon on Bright Angel.

It was a bit stiff after but it did not smell. I never had to put sunscreen on my arms or upper body. I was cool and unburnt. Thank you for making this perfect shirt.
I ordered medium and it was slightly baggy for my 36A chest, which may be just the fit some are looking for. I could feel the seams in the shoulders just a bit more than I wanted to. I liked the material, although I wasn't in love with the color/pattern. No major complaints. In the end I decided it just wasn't worth the money for how freq... Read Moreuently I expected to use it.

Pretty nice!
Silky, lightweight, good cut/fit (skims body but not too tight).
I absolutely love my Patagonia shirts for hiking and outdoor activities. They cover from insects and sun while allowing good airflow to keep cool. I just wish Patagonia would offer more women’s clothing in XXL.
This shirt is very soft and comfortable. It is great to be able to wear a shirt that provides sun protection instead of having to slather on sunscreen. It also packs great for travel. I really like the shirt and the price is right.
I got this shirt for hiking and fishing in Colorado this summer and it did not disappoint. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is it is a tad large for me. I am 5’0” 95lbs and got the xs.
I LOVE the Long-Sleeved Capilene® Cool Daily Shirt and the short-sleeved ones as well. That's all I'm wearing this summer, rotating from one to another day to day.

I bought this shirt because I work outside in the heat and sun a lot and have been trying to limit my sun exposure without compromising my ability to cool off. This shirt worked out great. I live in Missouri where it is very humid, so don't expect it to keep you completely cool if you are in a similar climate. Still, I thought it was better th... Read Morean just wearing a short sleeve t shirt (especially with the added benefit of UV protection).

It’s true to size. I ware a small to medium shirt, I wanted this shirt to be warn over my base shirt, for a little extra warmth! The shirt is soft and comfortable! I do love it!! the only thing that would put it over the top is if it had thumb holes so it would not be able to pull up on your arm if you were riding a motorcycle or mountain bike!
I'm still looking for the original camisole shelf bra Patagonia used to sell...I loved it and this one is definitely not it. While it's comfortable, the straps move toward one's neck and there is just not enough support for anyone who requires a D cup. I would recommend for one who is small breasted, but not for others.

Love this shirt!
This is my first capilene cool daily shirt and I love it. So soft & light AND has sun protection. Definitely going to buy another color!
Ordered too big. But love the material. Also bought a light green. XL. Perfect fit. And love the material. Will probably not buy any different shirts. I love yours.
First of all, thank you so much for the timeliness of this request. You truly have given me ample opportunity to wear these shirts before asking for a review. I have purchased 8 of them. I love, love, love them. I ride horses and am still wearing them, in the hot summer, for sun protection and comfort. I have no criticisms. Only pure enjoyment in w... Read Moreearing them. Love the colors, too. Thank you.
Love the weight and feel of this shirt. It is lightweight enough to wear in warmer weather to give sun protection but also is good as a layer when there's a little chill in the air. I bought this shirt for a recent trip to Alaska and wore it on many mornings and during hikes.
Love the protection from the hot Caribbean sun! The shirts kept me at a comfortable temperature and prevented sunburn. From being on the water, at the beach , or hiking in the jungle the shirts worked great! Even the black one was comfortable in the hot humid weather.

I’d like to see it in Navy Blue!
I recently went on a 2 week trip to Colorado, and hiked most days. This shirt really got a workout! And didn’t stink after a few days of use. It was cool enough to wear during the warmer afternoons, while keeping the sun off my arms. The sleeves are actually long enough for my ape arms.

The Long-Sleeved Capilene Cool Daily Shirt is the best UPF 50 shirt I have ever worn. It's lightweight and soft. It also wicks away sweat, dries quickly, and the sun protection is effective.

I took my shirt on a 6 week bike trip. I only took 3 shirts but this sun shirt ended up being worn almost everyday. Excellent sun protection and even when it was 105 I was still amazingly cool. Love this shirt and am going to buy one for my husband!
Based on the reviews, I bought 2 of these long sleeve tees for a hiking trip to Switzerland recently, and could not be happier. I loved the fit, feel, sun protection, and odor control for high sweat hiking. Will definitely be purchasing more colors.
I love these shirts so much I now have 3. They are lightweight but seem very well made. I think they run true to size, but ordered a large to have a nice loose fit.
