I bought this shirt for my boyfriend (purchased his regular tshirt size) and he said it was the best shirt hes ever felt! He loves the material.

I already have two womens versions in size small. Theyre perfect hiking shirts; lightweight, silky and cool. I bought a mens for a color. The fit is okay, not as nice as the womens but roomier, as would be expected. Im 55 and 123 lbs. Please make more colors for women.
I love these Capilene Shirts -- got a long sleeved one to work out at home in the cooler weather -- it's terrific and doesn't smell after exercising.
I just got the boardshort logo and the fitz Roy logo shirts and I love them. Perfect to put under my fleece in winter and keep me cool in summer by itself.
Have had the shirt for a couple months now, bought it at the beginning of summer along with some other sun shirts from other brands. This one is my favorite out of them all. Super lightweight, dries quickly, breathes well, and keeps me from getting sun burned. I wear it indoors as a casual shirt because it is so comfortable. Will be purchasing more... Read More!
My only con (and why it's not a 5 star review) is I notice I get smelly way faster in this shirt as opposed to any other shirt I've ever owned. I'm usually not a smelly person and can even get away with wearing a shirt 2-3 times w/ deodorant before the shirt smells, but I can usually only make it half a day before this shirt is emanating smells. I have no idea what causes this. It could possibly be the material, the odor control tech, or the sunscreen treatment. It is not stopping me from purchasing more, but definitely a negative aspect!
Fabric is super soft and breathes well. I can wear these long sleeves shirts on the hottest of days and still feel comfortable. Will be buying more for sure.
Really nice quality on this long sleeve T-shirt. I am 64 215 and this shirt fits like it was tailored. Material is very comfy and quick drying. Perfect also to protect from the sun
I've never used Capilene before so I bought one of these shirts to try it out. It feels great against the skin and keeps me cool. The material is thin and can be form fitting, in case you're not into that. The garment construction is top notch. Very happy with the purchase. Will definitely buy more before summer next year.
These shirts are the best shirts ever! I wear them hiking, paddle boarding and sailing. They always keep the sun off me and keeps me dry and cool. I ordered the mens because I like my shirts to fit a little bigger but not be to long. I have already ordered two of these and already planning to buy more. favorite shirts in my closet right now!
I was looking for a loose fitting long sleeve tee with sun protection. This is perfect. I liked the men's graphics better so I compared the sizes and the men's run about one size larger than the women's. So just size down one to get your women's size.

I'm a farmer and these shirts are a God send. I bought mine larger to be a bit loose so I can roll up my sleeves if needed.

I ordered two styles of this shirt, even though Im a woman, because I like the longer length. They are very breathable, even in warmer weather, and are really nice to go hiking in.
I love this long sleeved shirt for wearing right after an afternoon trail run. The mountain breeze can be just a bit chilly with a sweaty shirt on after a long run. Switching out that sweaty shirt for this loose fitting, lightweight layer while you sip a post run beer is the perfect solution.
The tee shirt is superior in every respect. Does not retain oder, repels sweat and dries quickly, maintains its shape after washing, and acts as a sun block. The sleeves can be hike up and will not slip down. Great selection of colors and it is really soft to the touch.
The shirt ended up being lighter and more breathable then I thought it would be when I originally bought it. I ended up using it under my scrubs along with my original intention as a hike/camp shirt to protect from the sun. Would buy again.
I bought this long-sleeve capilene (in white) to have some protection from the sun without overheating internally before upcoming outdoor summer activities.

Super cool, both in temperature control and looks.
I am 5'6, slim, and in good shape and when I bought the shirt I purchased a small. However, it was too clingy for a hot weather product. I switched to a medium and it transformed into a perfect size for me.
Super light weight but keeps a nice shape. Perfect for relaxing or my favorite outdoor activities (running, mountain biking). I also get good use of this shirt as it layers well for home office days or weekends on my snowboard. It's my go to shirt year round.
I bought five of these for my husband as he goes through chemotherapy, which supposedly makes him sun sensitive (we dont know if thats true as he just wears these shirts and has had zero sun issues!!).

Only minor holes for wearing while doing extensive carpentry, my fault. I wouldn't change a thing!
These are the best all-around shirts for outdoor activities. Lightweight, cool, fast-drying, packable, no-chafing, durable, odor-resistant and great for layering.
The long sleeve version is particularly good when you need a little more sun, abrasion or bug protection.
Im 59 155, pretty slender, shmedium... I have a few of these in small... they were a shirt in the sleeves and at the waist, ordered mediums this year... they fit nice and loose. If you want them tight order a size down if you want them a little looser order a size up.
I was looking for a product that would give me the protection (UVA/UVB) that you get from a rash guard but be light enough to be comfortable on a hot day. This product is perfect and I love the fit.

These shirts are amazing. Light. Comfortable. A nice fit. In fact, I would wear them every day if they came in more colors. Seriously, the only thing that could be improved is the range of color choices. If that were to happen, Id buy 10 more.
soft as "buttah" as they would say here in ME. Cap Cool fabric is so soft and comfortable. 50UPF is a big part of the reason I bought it, versatility is another.
I travel to Cambodia with my non profit Aqua Share building fresh water wells... Ive worn Patagonia shirts since the beginning but this shirt is the best.. comfortable... sun protection and eco friendly... I own 6 of these.. best of the best!
These shirts are super comfy. They keep you cool and protected in the hot sun. They are lightweight and they don't cling to your skin. I have 4 of them and wear them on hot July and August days as a fishing guide on Cape Cod.

The fit of this shirt is loose but not baggy. The material is great. Can wear it to the beach, outside playing with the kids, on a bike ride or to just relax.
Great shirt nut material snagged on something in two spots, maybe washer/dryer, and I had to exchange. Other than that, I actually bought several more since. :)

This shirt is perfect for any outdoor activity. The long sleeve provides the UV protection that I need, it's perfect for cool and warm days. Because it breathes so well I use it on warmer days that I don't want to wear too much sunscreen. I have a navy and a gray both in medium, gray fits slightly smaller.
I really enjoy this shirt and hope to get more in different prints. The fabric is soft, light and breathable. Helps me stay cool and dry on hot days and works well as a breathable layer while skiing.
I am quite pale and I love this shirt! Bought two and they have been wonderful additions to my life. This shirt is insanely comfortable both in and out of the water. Helps to keep you cool even if its hot outside. I would highly recommend you going with this shirt if you are going to be in the sun for any periods longer than 20 minutes.

Patagonia, thank you for keeping my body less oily because I dont need to lather on. Its already provided in the shirt.
This amazing material does everything a technical shirt could do, at an elite level: it wicks faster than being naked and it is so light, you might think you are. It's like a second skin that cools you faster than your own. Patagonia should market it as coming from the silk of a thousand butterfly wings, because I'm pretty sure it does.

I have eczema and I run really, really hot. My skin gets really bad inflammation when my body runs hotter than usual, say work out. I've tried all kinds of base layers for mid-high output activities. Merino wool is still too itchy and gets my body too hot. Cotton is better, but it's terrible for travel. sythentic is the only material that... Read More works for me, but even some synthetic materials are too thick and/or doesn't breathe well. Also, most synthetic shirts look wayyyy too techy for casual wear.
Capilene lightweight saved my life. It cools down my skin really fast. It breathes so well, and I haven't felt that sticky sweat at all. It dries pretty quick (more on this later). Most importantly, they fit and look amazing and not techy. There's no synthetic shine to it. The graphics are casual enough that I don't feel like an obnoxious hiker.
There are three different versions of capilene lightweight. daily, lightweight, and trail.
They all dry faster than cotton and much, much faster than wool. However, lightweight dries the fastest. Daily dries pretty quick, but unless it's machine washed (I hand wash when i travel), it typically does not dry overnight. I haven't tried hand washing trail yet, but considering that it's thicker and puffier than others, I wouldn't think it dries faster than daily or lightweight. I will stick with lightweight and daily for travels. I said it doesnt dry over night, but usually wearing it around the town is enough to dry out within couple hours.
these Capilene shirts are my go attire for working at the Ski Shop. Feel is comfortable especially when moving around getting up and down and going to different ares of the store where temperatures can change within a few feet - I often pair it with the Patagonia Sweater Vest which looks and feels great and provides great freedom for movement!
Bought it for a trip to Hawaii. A great extra layer on the cold plane, great skin protection when you don’t want to use sun block, and great to roll up it a ball and take for day trips.
Love this new style. Fit, fabric is perfect for work, play or elevating the heart rate. Colors and heathering compliment other layers/shirts. Among my new favorites so I purchased short sleeve versions as well. Regular fit is perfect.

Finally a shirt I can wear that fits me perfect. I’ve always been an in between sizes guy and this shirt fits perfect not too big, not too small. A little expensive but worth it to have the fit. Not sure why only the cool daily are this size tho. The others like tropic are bigger in same size than that’s of the daily.
Can’t beat the comfort and fit of the long sleeved Capilene shirt. Ultimate in lightweight breathability perfect for any activity from mountain biking, fishing or just lounging around the house.
Comfy and cozy but keep it covered, away from velcro
Definitely super light and warm, but keep it away from velcro - it'll shred this to pieces. Great down to ~20* F when worn under a down sweater. Fits true to size and soft against your skin. Beware the velcro
Saying I like this shirt is a understatement,.... I love this shirt. I ended up buying a second one because they work so well. I use it on a daily basis doing environmental feild work. I've used this shirt for everything mountain biking, hiking, ski touring, and much more. It's a great light shirt that works wonders as a light base.
This is a truly great ultra light base layer. Capilene has been known as the best wicking and possibly most technical fabric type in outdoor events, and this piece holds up to that reputation. I frequently use this rock climbing and snowboarding in mild conditions.
Used these (M for bf, W for me) for a recent trip to French Polynesia. Neither of us ended up burnt. We didn’t feel hot and sticky wearing these long sleeve shorts in 80+ degree weather. The only thing that kept it from perfect was the stretch in the sleeves once wet. I would repurchase and recommend to everyone.
I have ordered many tshirts from your company in regards to patagonia. Every item has been of excellant quality and the order arrived just as you said it would. Thanks Let me know if there are any sales on tshirts as I try to keep my eyes on you.
Bought for my husband. He loves it. He is a fan of Capilene in general for spin class etc. but he is just wearing this as every day layer. Great color. Excellent purchase.
I am a long time wearer of Patagonia but the sizing recommendations are confusing. They seem to have changed over time (and I have some items 30+ years old) but following the advice of your on-line chat & sizing chart gave me a item a little big.

I work in California in television news and am outside all day every day. I also ride my bike to work, and live out of my car. So i need sun protection, to look professional, to not need to wash stuff often, to not smell bad. This shirt does it all. I bought a second one with this last sale. .
Ever since I first put this shirt on I have loved it. It is comfortable for everyday wear and is also great when I'm active. I am 5"10" and bought the large which is a bit roomy but great for my intended use of it.
The picture notes a 6', 175 model and the shirt fits perfect, maybe slightly full. I am 6' and 185 and it was way too small. Definitely buy a size up.
This is the first piece I've bought from Patagonia and I can't wait to wear it. I've tried it one and the fit is excellent. The material is lightweight and extremely comfortable. Great purchase, arrived quickly, so far so good!
when you order from Patagonia, you know what you're getting, quality and commitment. We love all of our Patagonia, the fit is perfect, the look on is complimentary and you all get a lot of "likes". So to all that make Patagonia what it is, thank you
Fantastic shirt. The long sleeve seems to run slightly larger than my short sleeve ones, but the shirt is great for cooler runs. I will certainly be buying more.
I love the feel of the capilene as a baselayer. It always keeps me warm with minimal material. If I could wear them all year long I would, but unfortunately I live and TX and it's too hot for that.
This shirt is great as a stand alone or even used on top of my mid weight baselayer to add a little extra warmth. I haven’t had the opportunity to wear the shirt on a hot day but it appears that it will breath very well and help keep me cool
This material is so comfortable! My boyfriend loves it for any outside activity (run, hike,fish, yard work) and just lounging around. He has a few different colors because he likes them so much. Skin cancer runs in the family so the UV protection is great and the material doesn’t overheat in the summer like most long sleeves do.
Great first layer for warm or cool days. Works great next to skin super comfortable. Toss a jacket over it to warm up a little if needed but great by itself. The torso length may be a little short for a taller build. I’m 6’1” and 160lbs with long arms and the Medium fits just right.
This shirt is so well made, incredibly soft, and a beautiful deep color. I am giving this as a gift so it is too soon to comment on durability but I have Never been disappointed in the over 10 years I have been buying fir my active adult sons and for myself. Thank You Patagonia!!
Perfect for weekend hikes, book reading at the coast, or paddling our V2 outrigger. A lightweight, comfortable long sleeve coverup for UV protection. We both wear 'em!
I've bought six of these now in assorted long and short sleeves and they are amazing. The fit is FINALLY appropriate for athletics builds - wide enough shoulders without nightshirt length hems. For years anything wide enough up top meant nine miles long in the hem. Tack on the super cool colors/prints and the SPF protection, I couldnt ask for ... Read Moremore but even more colors/prints.
I’ve worn capilene for years now...and I have to say this is by far my favorite of all the years. The hand is super nice and almost cotton feeling. Great for trail running, hiking, climbing, paddle boarding, surfing, and free diving in warm water. I also like how cool it keeps me while moving along in the heat & sun.
I purchased two of these for hiking and backpacking. The material is very light, cool to touch, and drys quickly. I love them so much that I wear these even when I’m not out on the trails. The fit is very relaxed and overall it’s just a great shirt.
I love the long sleeve capilene t-shirts. My office sits at 10,800 ft and the long sleeve T's help protect me from the intense sun around these parts. The fish pattern on the back is cool too!
I bought two for myself and one for my brother. These are the most comfortable shirts I’ve ever worn. They are light and breezy, which is a HUGE perk living in Florida! Highly recommend these to anyone!
I purchased a short and long sleeve Capilene tee for trips I had planned throughout the summer. The first trip was to Thailand in May; the temps were mid-90s and over 90% humidity. The L/S Capilene tee kept me comfortably cool and repelled sweat, moisture, and odor better than anything I've worn before. Over 6 days, I alternated between the lo... Read Moreng and short sleeve tees without washing and both were still pretty fresh.
The tees exceeded expectations again on the next trip to Havasupai. Kept me cool in 80s temps and the built in SPF prevented sun burn and exhaustion on our 22 mile hike. The tees got wet on the multiple river crossing but they are quick to dry and again repelled odor after multiple days of wear.
I highly recommend the Capilene line to everyone!
I bought these two shirts as gifts and they absolutely loved them. I personally own one and will buy more. They are perfect for any adventure. The fit is great and material feels wonderful. True to size.
Bought two long-sleeved, capiline cool tech shirts for the first time and I can say I am not disappointed. Like every they do over at Patagonia, this product is above reproach.
I wore this long sleeve T at the beach as well as hiking and canoeing. I'm very impressed by how lightweight the material is and how quickly it dries while also providing sun protection. I sweat a lot so I can't say that I would wear this for longer than a day in hot sweaty conditions; but it's an improvement over soft cotton (or the...

As I wear a wide brimmed beach hat for paddling I was looking for a long sleeved, SPF protective shirt to be a simple complement. Patagonia's capilene long sleeved solution is perfect. It is cool on the hottest days and great UV protection as well. I use a lot of capilene for work outs. So much better than cotton.
Top quality products that not only protect my body and skin in harsh international travels conditions for extreme surf locations but are lightweight and compact.

I often have a performance shirt and this is the first Patagonia I have purchased. I am quite impressed at the quality of the shirt and the softness. It’s noticeably softer and more comfortable than others.
By far and away the coolest shirt I’ve worn. Feels like I’ve nothing on. The best technical/or everyday shirt.
Super for fishing, hiking, any activity !
Bought two of these (one short sleeve, the other long) for recent Hawaii trip to wear to beach and snorkeling. After two weeks use, found them to be comfortable protection in and out of the water and recommend them highly. Ideal water material as it really doesn't absorb and get out of shape. And cool in the sun.
I have both the 'trail' version of this shirt, and the 'daily' version. Of the two, I prefer this 'daily' one. I am not sure exactly what the difference is, but whenever I go out for a run I seem to always grab the daily one. Whatever the difference is, I like the way this shirt keeps me cool while I am running. (BTW, ... Read Morethe trail one seems scratchier against the skin and I had to cut off the inside tag because it was annoying me.) I have this daily one in both short and long sleeve and seem to use them all the time. At roughly $40 bucks, it seems expensive for just a shirt, but if you use it a lot and it always feels right when you put it on, then its worth it.
Fabric and looks are great, arm length could be better
Looks super sharp (have the green trail running one) and fabric is nice and comfy at high output, but the sleeve length isn't long enough for me and as a result, i find myself pushing them up a bit to keep them from flapping around at my wrist. Adjust that a bit and it's great!
I like some customers get confused and disappointed when you find a shirt and size that fits well and then it's changed.

Very nice shirts but recommend down sizing if you want a better fit. They label this as a regular fit but would label it has a loose and relax fit.

Fantastic! Doesn’t overheat and really works to prevent sunburn!
Great shirts. Extremely comfortable and perfect for fishing and/or lounging on the beach. Im 6’3” 215 lbs and a large fit me well. It’s snug but that’s how I like my shirts.
I use these shirts for my landscaping company and also to fly fish and any other outdoor activities. These shirts have saved me when I have been subjected to the sun for long periods of time . Awesome!
Soft, and silky smooth with a cooling touch that stays dry.
The graphic is a nice touch. It doesn't fade or peel after repeated washings.
I really like wearing these shirts but the Capilene will begin to develop and hold the smell of body odor within a few months.
The Long-Sleeved Capilene® Cool Daily Graphic Shirt is amazingly comfortable and I wear it constantly for temps between 50-75 degrees. It's very soft, makes a great undershirt or wears well on its own and looks great. Highly recommend.
