The fabric is so soft and comfortable, it washes beautifully, dries quickly and breaths. If/when we are once again able to travel to those far away places with the beautiful sounding names, this will be a perfect shirt to take.
I love this shirt! My niece had this shirt so I purchased two for myself. The first two I purchased in XL and kept them because they are great to wear loose on the bike trainer and just lounging around. The L is really a better size for me for walking/hiking, so I purchased another t-shirt in a different color and two of the tanks. They are the per...

Usually wear a small so that's what I ordered. Definitely could have used a medium as the small is too narrow across the shoulders. Other than that, really comfortable shirt.
Bought this mostly for jogging, paddling oc1.
Fabric feels great, very lightweight and silky . Super comfortable. Well cut, looks great.
Bought Nordic blue and pineapple yellow and really happy with them. Nice it has some u v coverage.
First, some venting. Why does Patagonia ask for your height but not your weight on reviews? When I read a review, just the person's height rarely helps me on the fit of the clothing. I weigh ~150 lbs. I have a few of these shirt in medium, they look good on me and are comfortable unless I am working up a heavy sweat doing gardening or other ou... Read Moretside work in high heat and humidity. When I sweat heavily I am aware that the armholes and the neck are too tight, they rub and irritate my skin. So at home when I work outside in high heat and humidity I wear the large size one which hangs like a shapeless bag but doesn't rub. That is why I don't buy more Patagonia clothes, mediums' sleeves are too short and shoulders are too tight; large sizes are baggy. A good fit trumps organic, recycled and Fair Trade, unfortunately. I do like the fabric and Patagonia's ethics in regard to workers and the environment.
Thank you so much for taking the time to provide feed back on how your tops fit in different conditions. Thank you also for providing your weight, while we don't ask for it we do encourage everyone to include this info if comfortable as it helps future customers make an educated decision. In the future we're more than happy to provide any garment dimensions to you before you purchase so you can feel confident about your size choice.

Great fit
I found this shirt to be so comfortable, breathable and versatile that I went back and bought two more. Wear alone, or layer with a jacket.
I already own 4 Patagonia Capilene shirts. They are very cool in the summer and warm in the winter. They are very easy to take care of by washing and drying properly. The fit is perfect, too. They are not too tight or loose. I would recommend to other Patagonia customers. Thank you patagonia.com.
These are my favorite shirts. Easy to wash, hang to dry and its ready to wear within a couple of hours. I sized up to a small for a relaxed, comfortable fit.
This shirt fits perfectly and the neck stays in shape. The thin and smooth material make it the perfect choice for wearing while hiking with a backpack. It's light and dries quickly. I will buy more when Patagonia improves their color options. Specifically, I'm rooting for lavender and teal.
I have spent the summer running, mountain biking, and hiking in this top and the only complaint I have is that I didn't buy more. It is amazing. The fit is a relaxed, athletic fit. The fabric is super sleek and it hasn't gotten smelly after getting put to the test all summer. I have the blue and green and they are both really nice colors.... Read More I get compliments on the green every time I wear it. If it's clean, I reach for it.
This shirt is by far my favorite shirt that Patagonia has made. It is really lightweight (without being see-through) as well as a great combination of fitted/loose throughout the body. I bought this in 2 different colors! LOVE this. Would highly recommend.
I like to have a loose fit, that is why I ordered the M instead of the S (I am 5'8", 135 lbs) but I regret a little bit... Not enough to return it because I am pretty happy with it, but I think that a small would have been loose enough. Other than that, that shirt is perfect, I will surely buy some more in the future!
I have struggled to find a good womens running shirt thats not a v-neck or a tank top and this was amazing. Im a pretty small person so its looser fitting but I love it and will get in other colors.
I have a few of these and they are my favorite shirts. They layer well, easy to wash, fast dry, they dont wrinkle and can be worn two or three times before needing to be washed. I am between sizes. An extra small is a bit too tight on my upper arms and shoulders, but the length is great and fits my hips perfectly. And a small fits my upper body wel... Read Morel, but is too baggy overall and is too long. My solution is to have both sizes and I can alternate with the extra small for work, and a small for exercise or for sleeping.
Ive always been a picky clothing buyer. I wanted something the protected me from the sun, kept me cool and had sleeves that didnt hug my armpits. They shirt does it all for every activity, work task and all around comfort.

Wonderful fabric and Gypsum Green is pretty. My only complaint is I'm 54 years old and my upper arms are bigger and sagging so I wish sleeve was 1" longer. Still keeping as it still cool and soft.
I love this shirt for hiking, playing tennis, and just hanging out. It fits loose enough to be comfortable for working out but is still fitted enough to be flattering.
The fabric is lightweight, silky, and breathable. It doesn't have the shiny look that so many athletic tees have. I bought these for exercising outdoors in our humid summers and they are perfect for that. The cut is a bit on the boxy side. I normally wear a M and have several in both the M and S sizes. The S fits better through the body, and t... Read Morehe M fits better through the shoulders, so neither is a perfect fit for me.
I bought two and am very happy. They're cool and comfortable, and as others have said, don't smell. They are a bit long, but I don't mind.
I love all of Patagonia clothing. Recently bought this capilene shirt and couldn't be happier. It is cool, fits beautifully and feels so soft. It feels so comfortable. I wear it for sport, hiking and running. Very cooling effect, quick drying too. Best purchase I could have made
Being a person who loves universal pieces in my wardrobe, I find this a perfect fit in my drawer. I can wear this shirt biking, hiking or even on the water to protect my skin from the sun! I was skeptical at first due to the fabric, normally not the type I go for, but after I washed the orange and green shirts, I fell inlove! Great product for the ... Read Morecost so far!
I am 54 and 130 pounds and not thin as a rail. Im average. I sometimes have a hard time wearing Patagonia mediums, which always fit my torso just right, but then go down past my butt!

Read Moreshirt however is not exceedingly long. Its very flattering and very simple. Great to go under anything or to be worn casually on its own. Also I love the blue!
This shirt is incredibly comfortable, fits perfectly (39" bust, and I prefer shirts a little loose) & flattering to feminine figure. I love the sun protection. I wear this shirt when doing yard work and biking. One downside is either I become smelly very quickly (natural deodorant doesn't always work), or the shirt is retaining smells... Read More.
Great fit, comfortable material, and plenty of length. Finally someone is making a women's tech T that isn't a v-neck cap sleeve. Highly recommend for active, outdoor activities.
I hiked the Haute Route in Switzerland in this shirt.
And I mean it, I wore it every day underneath the long sleeve version of this shirt. It was the perfect weight for 60 degree days. I washed it in the sink, and it was dry in a few hours. I love it and will bring it with me on every hiking trip from now on.
This shirt is awesome, its that perfect layer for hot days. It just breathes really well and does not get soaked up with sweet. I wear it too work and during a workout. It is another perfect piece of clothing from Patagonia.
I bought this shirt for our many Oregon hiking trips. I loved it so much I bought a second one to take on a week long backpacking trip in the summer. It so soft and fits great and is lose enough to be flattering!
Recently I purchased a Women's Capilene® Cool Daily Shirt in the color Mellow Melon in a size extra small and I loved it so much and definitely rate it with 5 stars. The fit was ideal and I found myself wearing it so often I purchased a second shirt in Viking Blue in an extra small.
When the Viking Blue shirt arrived, I put it on immediately... Read More and wore the shirt all day long expecting that I would love this shirt too. Unfortunately, I began to notice that the arm pits were cut much smaller in this shirt and they rub uncomfortably and it seems this shirt is cut a bit more narrow, overall.
In the past I have always found the sizing to be consistent with all of my Patagonia purchases and for this reason I wanted to alert you to this flaw in case its not an isolated incident with this single shirt.
I bought this shirt around six months ago primarily to use while running. Its been pretty disappointing so far after one use the shirt retains the smell of sweat from even light use and is very stinky after a long run.

BEST active-wear top I've ever owned!
I cannot recommend this shirt enough. The most AMAZING fabric/material...so smooth and breathable and lightweight. Nike dri-fit could NEVER!!

I&#... Read Morex27;m usually between a size small and medium with tops since I have a larger chest (32DD) and slightly broad shoulders, but I'm so glad I went with the small! It isn't too tight-fitting, which is what I love, but it still flatters my shape nicely. I will definitely be buying this in more colors, and also buying the men's version for my husband!
This shirt fits great, feels comfy, is best for warm climate physical activity. It's made of a very lightweight, slick material... best for cardio in warm weather. Fit is true to size. Quality is 100%. Will wear this often!
I have had this shirt on since it came in the mail 2 days ago. I cannot believe how much it doesn't stink!! I'm going on an international trip where I'll be working hard in a very hot climate. Every one of the other "performance" or anti odor tees I own have failed me. I break a sweat & it's over.

For the fit, it's a basic women's cut shirt that has long enough sleeves for my flabby arms. I'm 5'8" 180lbs and the large fit amazing.
Now I'm off to buy every color!
I went up one size in this shirt because I don't like my shirts to be too snug and I wanted the extra room and length so I could tuck it into high rise pants if I wanted to wear it to work. I got the blue and gray and I wear the gray one constantly to work. The smooth fabric slides under coats or cardigans and the fabric is soft, doesn't ...

I think I will get the white one as well. Of note, I find that many of Patagonia's "regular fit" items tend to run on the long and narrow side, but this item is true to size.
I have been living in this shirt since I got it. It’s great to layer, and I’ve been using it for hanging out, hiking, sleeping in, even the office. I plan on buying several more for sure. It’s super soft and comfy, holds its shape and fits just right. I’m 5’7, 140 and I like my shirts to be a little roomy. The L is perfect for me, plenty of room wi... Read Morethout being baggy.
Yes I’m obsessed with these shirts. I live in Florida and try to avoid the sun as much as possible, I’m outside walking my dog and walking to the gym and these shirts are so cool and comfortable and fit great.

Two Thumbs Up for the CC Daily Shirt!
I bought two in a size L and they fit perfectly (I wear a bra in a 38B). One of the first tees to fit my broad shoulders, usually I have to buy men’s shirts so the shoulder seams fit correctly, but not for these! The torso has a nice relaxed fit but not billowy. The shirts will be perfect for the 3Day walk in San Diego in November. I like wearing t... Read Morehem under sweatshirts and sweaters, keeping my cool so I don’t overheat. Finally, I love the silky texture, will be getting a couple more in the long sleeve version for the winter soon.
Probably the best item of “gear” I own. I wore this shirt every day (and night...) of my PCT thru hike and by the end it still somehow looked and felt new. Seriously, my friends had to have an intervention and make me buy a town shirt. Super light so I stayed cool even when it was extremely hot, very comfortable, dries quickly, and stood up well to... Read More being worn and sweat in all day every day. Would recommend to everyone.
I bought 5 of the Capilene Cool tee shirts! They are smooth and lightweight. Drapes really well for a flattering fit. I’m 5’3, 115 lbs. Purchased size M for a relaxed fit. Love love love them!
Hiking, biking or playing Pickleball this shirt works for it all. 5’7” 140 I ordered L because I run warm plus didn’t want anything constricting my movement. Very breathable
A great dependable piece that can also extend to the office and into the evening. Wears well, washes well and because of its simple design and material, looks great as well!
I bought these shirts for a biking and hiking trip to Utah in August. These shirts breathe, dry quickly, and DO NOT stink!!! I wore them for several days in a row and they never stunk and I sweated a lot! I got them wet and hand washed them when needed and they dry very quickly.

Love It! I have been looking for a comfortable shirt that is soft and keeps me cool. This is the perfect shirt. The size is perfect and it looks great! I bought one of each color and I get lots of compliments on the shirt. Thank you!
LOVE the shirt, but why not put care instructions on tag? The symbols are not as helpful (online I found instructions to line dry or tumble with no/low heat - this is NOT well expressed in symbols). The tag is large enough, and includes info that’s not as critical. It should be easy to address this.
This has become a go to shirt for warm weather. Is very soft, comfortable, for every day and athletic adventures. It looks nice too, for every day or when you need to clean up a little.
I bought a second capilene daily t-shirt because I liked the first one so much. I wore them in Provence in 100+ temperatures, and they were wonderful. I’ll be looking fo more colors next year,
This is my second long sleeve 50 upf tee from Patagonia. Not hot and super comfy. I'm 5'4 115# and the small size is just right. Loose enough for hiking.
Great shirt, soft on the skin, nice wicking too. On my recent bike tour, this is the best shirt for summer riding. Quick drying after a sink-wash. Just enough stretch, no sagging. Looks great too.
I LOVE this shirt. I used it almost every day travelling through the Balkans and it never stunk. I also use it kayaking, SUP-ing and canoeing and it always dries out quickly. It also looks really nice!
This is just the best shirt- good coverage for biking without feeling restrictive in the neck. Despite being incredibly lightweight and silky, the shirt falls in a very flattering way, always nice after a couple post-ride beers. It doesn't retain smells until after a couple uses, and it comes in pretty colors, what more do you want? I am a ver... Read Morey standard Patagonia Medium and that size fits beautifully.
I wanted a t-shirt that doesn't absorb sweat like cotton, and that goes with anything (shorts, skirts, pants) and that's exactly what I got! The grey is a nice tone.
Comfortable and cool, but what is with the HUGE tag? I had to very carefully cut it out to be able to run in it. Seems like a slight design flaw; y'all gotta focus on the details as well.
So light weight and comfortable. Easily dressed up or worn for a workout or hike. I typically wear a small or medium so I got a M since I knew I'd be wearing this hiking and it's perfect - very breathable & a perfect base layer for this spring weather.
The sizing has changed since my last purchase. A medium is too big. I gave everything to my sister who normally wears a large. Also the cut of the garment as very masculine and unflattering.
Hi Bernadette! We are sorry to hear that you weren't happy with the fit of the Capilene Cool Daily Shirt. As always if you are not fully satisfied with your gear you are welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) it at any point.

Perfect fit
The cool daily t-shirt is exactly what I wanted: lightweight, crew neck, comfortable fit. I can wear it everywhere & anyway.
bought originally for myself. then ones for each of my four daughters. then three more for me. they are the best tees ever, and look nice enough to wear anywhere
I have a few short sleeve and a long sleeve version of this shirt. It is extremely lightweight and comfortable. and versatile. The fit is perfect for layering or not. This is the ideal shirt for running, hiking, or just kicking around. I have been wearing Patagonia base layers for nearly 25 years and this is one of my all-time favorites!
This si a great light weight hiking shirt for warm weather. I am sooooo happy that Patagonia has designed this shirt to be a more generous cut.

I loved it so much I bought three short-sleeve versions and one long-sleeve and I may just get more. I cannot recommend highly enough!
I bought both the short and long sleeve version of this shirt and they are both fantastic. Comfortable, cool, and lightweight.

Love the soft fabric and definitely kept me cool running in 30 deg celsius weather.
I agree it's not slim fit but instead a regular one. I'm 1.68m with a boxy built and bought the Medium. Fits my shoulders perfectly although the hips/length were slightly longer but that's fine.
My measurements are 36” bust - 27” waist - ‘38 hips. It fits well. Size small was slightly loose, definitely a “regular fit”, not “slim fit”. I wore this shirt running and loved it. It didn’t get sweat stains and is very soft.
