By far my favorite dry fit style long sleeve Ive ever had. Ive had all sorts of brands and styles of dry fit hoodies and these are unmatched. Light as air, moisture wicking, comfortable and perfect for long days in the sun on the water.
I have been wearing this a lot since I purchased it; it might be my new favorite layer. It is very comfortable and perfect for a variety of spring-fall temperatures. I bought the size I usually buy for Patagonia slim fit (which is often a size up) in order to have it a bit oversized to easily layer underneath. Love it for hiking, walking the dog, c...

I wore this top in temps of 50 to 80, both hiking and lounging. It gave enough warmth at sitting still at lower temps but didn't get too hot during hikes; sweat dried quickly and it washed well. I'm looking forward to wearing this a long time.
This is the closest I can get to high-performance silk! It feels cool and clean to the touch, allowing my irritable skin to breathe on long river days with exceptional UV protection for the arms and chest. However, I wish it came in more light heathered colors* like the men's version to camouflage stains while I'm guiding.

I like this cool daily hoody.
Only one suggestion: the neckline is too tight, needs more attention when put on and get off, which I never have such experience re other Patagonia products before.
I purchased this hoodie (& matching t-shirt) for hiking on the Inca Trail. I was advised to dress in layers. I needed something that will be lightweight, dry quickly, and not retain odor since we are very limited in what we can pack on this tour. Capilene is not supposed to retain odors and meets the other criteria I desired. I usually wear a s... Read Moreize 10 or medium; I got this in a large for layering and the fit is perfect for me. I am happy with the purchase.
I love how the Capilene Cool Daily material feels, and how it blocks the sun and wicks away sweat. I wish every garment was made of this fabric.
I don't love that this top is loose-fitting even though I sized down, everywhere except the arms and armpits which start to chafe a bit with activity. I guess due to the combination of smaller arm ho... Read Moreles and standard overlocked seams, you know the ones that stick out like a quarter-inch on every cheaply-made garment. To be fair, I have broad shoulders and thicker arms. I probably should've gotten a medium but I prefer compression-style baselayers and I knew this was loose-fitting as well as a bit stretchy. I tried the men's version of this top also, the small feels great to wear as a light layer though it's fairly loose-fitting on me.
Patagonia, please consider using flat-locked seams and a more "athletic" fit for your active wear!
This is the 2nd one for me. I loved the one I got from a friend and loved it so much had to get a 2nd one! So comfy, light and never wrinkles!! Love them so much!
I now have two of these, they are super lightweight so you don't get too hot and great to keep the sun off my shoulders as well as neck when I use the hood. Work great for hiking and on the river.
I love these shirts. It almost feels like you aren't wearing any clothes, and the sun protection is great. A Medium fits me nicely but loosely for proper air flow and cooling. I don't think the allegedly antibacterial stink protection works that well, but I might just be extra smelly... Not a dealbreaker by any means!
I've had the capilene daily cool hoody for a year now so I wanted to share my review after using it in different conditions - glacier mountaineering, backpacking, hiking, scrambling and sport climbing outside. It feels really light on and offers great coverage when hot/sunny out or when there's a lot of reflection from snow. I got an S (5... Read More'6", 120lbs, 34" bust) which fits a bit loose, but I don't want something like this hugging me when it's so hot out anyway.
Big pro: didn't snag while scrambling or rock climbing on granite (haven't tested with other types of rock - pretty sure nothing will survive limestone) and didn't pill/snag with a 30lb backpack on
Slight con: at the beginning, I used to be able to wear it many days in a row without it smelling. Now, I definitely have to wash after a long day out as it smells too musky.
Regardless, I recommend it to everyone I meet and bought one for my dad, brother and friend!
These are the greatest shirts. Lightweight, easy to wear. They are my summer uniform for mountain adventures. They keep me cool and protected even on scorching hot days with no trees around. The hood is exactly the right size to pull up and ov it my hat. It stays up but still allows air circulation around my neck. My only change would be to make th... Read Moreese shirts (of which I own 5) a little longer. I have a long torso and another inch would improve the fit for me, especially on a bike.
I just returned from a 100 mile, 8-day backpacking trip in the high Sierra wearing this hoody everyday. It held up beautifully: drying overnight or after rain, not stinky until day 4 out of 8 (then stinky even though I rinsed it in snowmelt streams), felt very soft even though my skin was sticky from sweat, and the fabric protected me from sun expo... Read Moresure. Wearing this hoody meant that I didn't need to use sunblock on my upper body, which is a plus when you are trekking for days without a shower. I also felt cool on hot sunny days. It is my new go-to for hiking and backpacking. 5 stars!
I'm 5'6" and 132 pounds. Size small is perfect.
Love the color, fit and fabric. I wear this on the boat, when the sun is everywhere. I forget I have it on, and it keeps the sun off me. I wear it both with and without the hood on, normally over my swimsuit. It is soft, and fits a bit loose, as expected and desired.
I live these hoodies! Light weight, breathable and wicking sun shields easy to slip on for biking, hiking and beach time when you’ve had enough of the sun. I have two, and use them practically everyday in the summer months. More bright colors would be nice….
Since this hoody 'replaced' the sunshade hoody, thought that the design would be factored in, alas although the fit is true to size, material very soft and easy wearing, its the lack of hood and no elastic to hold it on that disappoints a bit. no thumb loops also cause shirt to come up arms when reaching out or stretching. The sunshade al... Read Moreso had thicker material, that still breathed really well in heat and slightly insulated, especially as a base layer. I have about a dozen of them and wear them to work, on the river, climbing, mtn biking, running, on the motorbike, casually, they are so great! Thought this hoody would come close, but its breathable over durable by a very long ways. This suits the casual wearer, but from my experience, not any serious exploring or serious use. Again, it fits well and is comfortable, just not suiting current needs, cheers
This is my new summer favorite, both in the long sleeve and short sleeve. Perfect fit, lightweight fabric and cool in the heat when active. The fabric feels better than silk and keeps you cool. Dries in a minute. More colors, please!
With thumb holes or slightly longer sleeves, this would be the perfect sun hoodie of all sun hoodies. It is cool, comfortable, durable, and the hood stays on in wind, but it does not protect the backs of my hands, so sadly I wont buy a second one. Maybe a future model with thumb loops though!
Thank you for sharing this review, Maria. If you prefer a hoody with thumbholes you might like the [Tropic Comfort Natural UPF Hoody](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-tropic-comfort-natural-sun-hoody/41935.html?dwvar_41935_color=ATQ&cgid=womens-tops-long-sleeve), which does feature back-of-the-hand protection.

Please, I'm begging you: different colors
I love everything about this hoody (the texture, the cut, the sun protection) except the colors and designs. I would buy 10 of these if only they were sold in colors I could live with. Of the ones currently available, I can stomach the blue and the gray. Why no black, charcoal gray, navy blue, dark blue (the staples)? Yes, the graphic hoodies have ... Read Moresome different color options, but I don't like being a walking billboard, and I don't like the graphic designs. Some of them are just really bad designs, and some of them clash horribly in terms of the colors in the design v. the background colors. I check back on the website every month or so to see if there are new colors and if they are any better than the old ones. Please. Please. Please. If you make these in solid colors that are not eyesores, I will buy them.
Hey Dana, thanks for providing us with this feedback. We typically release new colors for our Fall and Spring seasonal releases. They are centered around a color story that our design team works on a couple years in advance, we're sorry to hear that they are not your favorite. It looks like we have already released our colors for Fall for this product, but we encourage you to check back in the Spring.

Love the material and fit
My go-to long sleeve for playing outside in the sun. Perfect for an active life as a mom. Versatile, quick dry and comfortable. Great fit and material.
Love this. So soft on the skin & the fit is flattering. I immediately wanted to order another one. Pricey compared to others on the market but the softness and fabric is far superior!
I have this top on 4 colors as it is my go to layer in the summer to keep the sun off my upper body. I absolutely love that with this top I do not have to worry as much about sunscreen. It doesn't ride up during activity including mountain biking, hiking, backpacking, rafting, kayaking and much more!
First of all, let me say that I love these shirts and have purchased four in different colors. They are silky smooth and a dream to wear. I don't actually need the hood. I used to buy the regular Cool Daily shirts, but I prefer the higher neckline of the hoody.
However, I have two caveats which I think are worth mentioning for people consider... Read Moreing buying one.
1. A solid pale color (like Jellyfish Yellow - no longer offered) is extremely unforgiving and will show every bump (think headlights), and roll of fat. This is not an issue with the heathers and solid colors with patterns.
2. I've also made the sad discovery that I can't wear a small watch with a traditional stem when I'm wearing this shirt. I couldn't figure out how the hem stitching of a sleeve had come undone on one shirt until I noticed the same thing about to happen on another shirt. Same side, same spot, where the watch stem must be snagging the unprotected stitching. So now I'm on the hunt for a new stemless watch, that's how much I love this shirt!
I love this hoodie and have one that I bought 3 years ago. The new ones however fit large and are really long for short people. Please make petite sizes. This is my favorite spf hoodie and I really wish I could get more but the loose and long fit just doesn't work
Thanks for your review, Jovita! We checked in our database to see if there have been any recent design changes to the fit of this shirt and the only thing we were able to find is that we removed the UPF rating. Perhaps you're thinking of a different shirt? We'd be happy to gather some information and help you identify the shirt you have from 3 years ago, in case it is something different.

Perfect. Need sun protection for ears & this works great. Thanks!
Nice top however I made the mistake of not trying it on and was super surprised how tight it was. I can still wear it although not my favorite fit.

Comfy!
A little snug, but thats good for layering, which is what I wanted. I like the bright color that I chose, too.
This is the best sunshirt I have ever had the pleasure of wearing. It is SO lightweight, comfortable and breathable. I wore it in 100 degree weather in Costa Rica and didn't feel like I was roasting.

This hoody was a birthday gift to me, back in November, '22. I absolutely love it; it fits well and is both warm and cool. Great for layering.

Perfect
I love this hoody and wear it as much as possible, in cols windy, hot, sunny, stormy weather. I absolve the color of the gray !!
I was pleasantly surprised by the silky soft and well-fitting garment this is! It looks great -- not too tight or loose, and is very functional. It's a great wardrobe piece to protect from sun, to provide lightweight coverage, and it looks great! I love it and have already ordered another one.
Love it!
Patagonia products never fail! Add to the fact that it aspires to be sustainable and cares for the environment, and I will always be a supporter.
This is the exact layer I was looking to wear in warmer weather. It will fit in a pack when you just need a light layer in the morning but don't want to drag a bulky fleece around when it warms up. I can see myself wearing this all the time, whether I'm running or just hanging out.
Great Summer sun shirt. I had one from UNder Armour, but they discontinued them. These are looser fitting than UA. I wish they are slightly more form fitting. Must have for summer if you love outdoors but dont want your skin to look like wrinkled orange peel when you get older.
I bought this for sun protection while fishing. However, I haven't had a chance to use it for that yet. I love it for casual everyday and I wear it to work. It looks nice and is super soft and comfortable.
This is a great, light weight top that provides super sun protection for the shoulder seasons where long sleeves are a must. As always, Patagonia makes a great product.
Thank you for your review, Nancy. We're very sorry to hear that this shirt is causing sweat and does not wick moisture while wearing. The hoody was designed to be quick-drying and provide comfort in a variety of conditions; our apologies that hasn't been the case for you thus far.

The center front length is slightly longer and it was designed to be breathable and provide UPF protection in hot and sunny conditions.

Cool and soft
My favorite first layer for fly fishing and hiking. Looks good, feels good and performs well.
This is one of my favs from Patagonia. I have two if them, and I use it for hiking, running, and casual wear. Its light and breathable. Fabric is so soft. Will continue to buy these if they dont change the product design.
Hoodie is great light material that is very cozy and moveable. It would be perfect for a hot afternoon day in the sun to keep it off your neck and skin while staying cool!!

A Hit!
I love this hoody so much that I bought another in a different color. It fits perfectly--not baggy, not tight, and it washes beautifully. I wear it mostly for casual wear, but also for fitness classes. A friend liked it so much that I went back to the store and got her one as well!
It's winter and I tire of constricting heavy clothing. This flowy soft layer is warm and works well under another layer. The hood fits nicely under my bike helmet.
The XXL fit me (adult female athletic 5-7) perfectly (better than the size small women version that I returned). It's very lightweight and feels breathable. I will wear it a lot.
I have tried many sun shirts from many brands, and this is my favorite one hands down. It keeps you cool, wicks away the moisture and keeps you protected from the sun. It's my go to for hiking.
These hoody capilene tops are great layered in cold weather or alone in hot, they are my go-to choices for hiking in New Zealand where the weather is so changeable. Also comfortable and easy to wash/dry.
The purchase from Patagonia was for a friend. I have purchased 3 of those hoodies plus a coat for myself at Sports Basement and an additional coat online. Love them all.
Perfect for mountain biking in the summer when the sun is beating down on you. Feels cool on your skin and blocks out the bad sun rays, no sunscreen needed. Its light weight and feel good on your skin.
I have several Capilene Cool Daily shirts (2 long-sleeves, 2 graphic tee, 1 solid tee) so I speak from a lot experience -- these are awesome shirts!

Really is worth all the 5 stars
I love this shirt. It's super comfortable, keeps the sun off, & doesn't stink at the end of 9-hour day in the sun. I'm 5'5, 145 lbs and the medium fits perfect.
I bought two of these hoodies for an upcoming trip where I will want sun protection. The hoodies washed well, hang-dried quickly and are very comfortable; the fabric is exceptionally silky and smooth. I would definitely recommend these to anyone!
This top is very lightweight and good for blocking the sun while being in the outdoors but also cute enough to wear when not exercising. I bought the cream color and really like it
From the picture I thought it was going to be thicker. However, I didn't read the info and just bought it. It's pretty light weight and a great blue color.
This hoodie is phenomenal. I've been wearing it constantly since I got it, it works for such a wide range of temperatures and activities that I default to it for almost anything. Really love the fabric and the fit.
One of my favorite Patagonia tops - very versatile and comfy. I mainly wear it for casual wear and work, however hope to try it out for hiking real soon! Get one (or two)!
I bought this shirt in two colors. I like the fit and feel of the fabric. My husband rarely notices new clothes when I wear them but he said is that a new shirt? I said yes and he said it looks really nice. I was pleasantly surprised.
Love the Cool Daily Hoody for hot day hikes. Saves my waxen skin from certain burns and great for layering (if you size up like me). Will likely add this top in another color to my collection!
I love this layer while hiking and the hood comes in super handy if I can't get out of the sun and need some extra protection. It's comfortable and great for travel too!
This is very comfortable and adds a very lightweight layer of warmth or sun protection. I had to exchange for a larger size as it was too fitted through the middle. Happy with the larger size.
As I spend a lot of time in the sun, I have a few other hooded sun shirts from other brands. I like this one for its versatility. Since the material feels and looks more like a knit, and the style is less "techy" than the others, I can wear this as a travel shirt and not look like I'm about to head out for a hike. :)
Pros:
+Stretch... Read Morey material feels cool in hot weather, and warm in cool weather.
+The borealis green is a calming color and makes me happy.
+Can wear it hiking and traveling, versatile style.
+Most of my other Patagonia tops are XS and this one fits similarly well. I can wear this as a base or mid layer.
Cons:
-Hood feels a bit tight and constricting when I put it on over my ponytail. I have another hoody that has a ponytail hole, and the hood fits better and doesn't blow off as easily.
The color (green) is gorgeous (more vibrant than online), but its tight through the shoulders if you have muscle/want to be able to move well. I have been a M in Patagonia for many years, but find some shirts increasingly cut narrow in the shoulders and need to size up. Liked it enough to pay shipping twice and get the L.
This is my 2nd Capilene Cool hoody from Patagonia and it is so comfortable and easy to move in. The hoody is great to keep the sun off my neck and have used it to keep swarming bugs off my head.
I would like a little more room in the bust area for some of us larger gals but a larger size is too large. I love the shirts and happy with the fit.
If you're looking to minimize the amount of sunblock you have to wear while you're hiking this is the top for you! No need to reapply and you skip having to put all those chemicals on your skin.
I love this top. Great for all sports if you sweat dries off quickly get a chill the hoodie is a plus. Strongly recommend this product. Love the colors
Love this new shirt in my line up! It is super comfy, light weight, and cute. I have the green color. I got it for some extra sun protection after a move to central CA this summer. I wear it to work (teaching), to the beach, and just around town.
This is my second capilene cool daily hoody because I wear them so often that I need two. The soft, light, buttery fabric is very comfortable and does not cause me to overheat. I wear this layer often when climbing and mountain biking. I prefer to not use sunscreen, so this hoody offers excellent skin protection. I love putting the hoody up over my... Read More helmet to protect my neck from the sun. A medium fits perfectly and I am 5'9" and 165 lbs; tall and curvy and the medium is perfect.
I ordered a Large because reviews said it ran small. I had to return the Large and get a Medium which was the right size for me 5'8" 135lbs. The quality of the fabric is nicer than any sun shirt I've had before. Very happy with this purchase.
I have 4 capilene cool daily shirts. One sleeveless, one short sleeve and two of the hoodies. I love them all! Though the hood is not tight it s good under a hiking hat if you need to keep you neck protected from the sun. I also love them for layering.
I have two of these. Love the colors and the graphics. Mostly I love how cool they keep me. If you're between sizes. I'd size up. Great for walking, hiking, biking, and cutting my grass!
Super happy with the wicking properties of this comfortable piece. Perfect for cool Vermont mornings top layer, lending itself to small baggage when off. Recommend!
I got this in S not XS like the short sleeve similar shirt. Glad I did. It could be a tiny bit longer and I would like that more. But its a nice shirt I go to often in many types of weather. I like it alone or over a tank for working out.
I love that it is light and cooling! It looks great on the trail and as a quick piece for a casual day. It does run true to size (mine being an XL) and if you are big chested (40DD), it fits nicely without it being tight. :)
Similar to "women's" shirts by all outdoor retailers, this one falls into the category of baggy and not long enough. I'm not sure if outdoor companies still think women are 5'3-5'5 or what, but I find "womens" clothes to be too short and wide-this shirt is no different. While it is perfect in the arm length (... Read Morethank you!) if I raise my arms, this shirt is rising up. And its wide which makes the fit feel just a bit off. My husband has the same shirt just in mens and it fits perfectly. As women are getting taller, can outdoor retailers please offer more options for women? Tall/Long for instance like you do for petite?
Other than that one issue, this was perfect for a longer hike in humid/buggy weather. It kept me dry and dried quickly when we returned to the AC.

My husband had 2 of these from last year and raved about them. On a bike ride it flowing in wind I was jealous, so excited to get one on sale. I got large as I have boobs and like the loose fit.

This works really well as a first layer in cold weather, and as the only layer in hot sunny weather so I can skip the sunblock. I like a looser fit, so a large helps keep my hands warmer in winter. I must have this in at least 5 colors by now!
Awesome shirt . Its my 2nd one . My daughter bought me one last year and I bought one this year . Its perfect for sun protection , lightweight, great bug protection, perfect for summer hiking, paddling, yoga, biking . Can you tell I wear it all the time!!
Great fabric, but the fit is not great. It has a tube shape that ends up being baggy around the waist and torso white being tight in the shoulders and bust.

Best Lightweight Sun Hoodie Ever
I LOVE this sun hoodie! It is light enough to wear on hot days. I wear it with a trucker hat and the hood up for long or short hikes so I barely need sunscreen. I wore this everyday on a 10 day hiking trip I was cooking for and when I arrived one of the guides had the same one, same color. He is outside all day everyday and he wore this sun hoodie ... Read Moreexclusively on that trip. I almost never pay full price for my gear and I am so happy I did with this piece!
I wear this shirt kayaking and hiking. It is very light weight, keeps the sun off me and keeps me cool in temperatures up to 90 degrees. The style is a little looser which I feel is much more comfortable than the form fitting styles that are popular now. I do wish they offered this in more colors.
The fit and feel is amazing.. cooling on humid warm days and nice weight for insulation under a fleece. They offer sun and some bug protection too. I now own several styles and colors!!!
I have this in a size small and a medium. Both work for different uses. I use this mostly as a sun shirt but really its an essential piece that is perfect for anything. It can be an extra layer for a touch more warmth or to protect you from sun. It is super lightweight. I just wish there were more color options!
This is my second capilene cool daily hoody. I bought another one after I wore it nearly every day of a recent trip to the Grand Canyon. It's comfortable, wicks water, offers sun protection, and is easy to wear. An easy favorite for me.
I love the material and the way it fits. It keeps you cool in the summer and adds warmth in the winter/fall. This is truly a four season item. I love this so much, I now have 5 in different colors. Wish there were more colors to choose from.
Exactly what I hoped for! Got this for an Eastern Sierras summer hiking/biking/RV camping trip.

mosquitoes be damned
My son works the backcountry and this shirt is his uniform so I got one. Light weight and breathable and covers you up so the mosquitoes and blazing sun doesn't ruin your day.
Happy with this shirt. Great for hiking and biking, stayed cool and felt protected from the sun. Only complaint is Patagonia got rid of the thumb holes..!
Material is soft and has works well fly fishing ( dries quickly) but I find myself casually wearing this around. Comfortable. The neck/ opening is small but not bothersome.
I really like the hoody. It seems to be warm when needed but also cooling. I havent tested it but I believe it has UV protection. I like the fit which is long in the sleeves and torso. The only problem with this material is that you have to be careful of snags and pulls, so it might not be the best for gardening and other work.
I have 4 of these hoodies, they're the best lightweight top for early mornings on the bike, on a hike, or just kickin it on a Sunday.
I use this top for sun protection and have tested it for long mornings in direct sun with no sunscreen other than on my face, hands, and legs. I haven't burned and Im very fair skinned.
I do wish they a... Read Morell came with thumb holes, I could use that on my bike.
I'm a big fan of this shirt. I wear it fly fishing, both as a stand-alone shirt and under waders. It fits well, wears well and is breathable enough that I forget I'm wearing a long sleeve. Does a great job keeping the sun off and I love the hood. It's true the hood is a little bit of a tighter fit than you might find on others, but I... Read More find that tighter fit helps it stay in place when winds get a little blustery. Love mine and will be ordering more.
Love my rosehip cool shirt! Like the hood to keep my neck from getting burnt. Shirt is breathable on warm days! Great product. Im 5ft 11in and 165 pounds and got the L because I wanted it roomy.
Really bummed. No button at neck, pockets, or thumb holes. Have purchased this one before so didn't even think twice before ordering a new one and wish I would have realized its been downgraded to the max. Would have just got the mens if I knew. Really disappointed
Great! Print seems to be a slightly different fabric
I love these hoodies. I wear them all the time. They fit true to size---I'm 5'4", 140 and a medium fits well. I have 2 of the plain colors, and just recently ordered the Monkey Flower: Light Current Blue, and I find that it's a slightly thicker / warmer fabric. I'll wear it more in the fall, but it's a little warm for ... Read Moresummer. Maybe the prints are a heavier fabric?

One of my all time favorites in a different color.
I literally depend on the cool daily hoody. One of my all time favorite Patagonia garments, and I've been wearing Patagonia since 1982. Enjoying a different color/pattern this time!
I love the color and the overall fit. Its maybe a little tighter than Id like since sunshirts are best when worn a bit baggy. But thats not too bad. But the bigger issue is that the neck is tight. With the hood up, I feel a little like Im choking. Probably only an issue if you have long hair you dont want tucked inside your sweaty hood though. When... Read More my braid is over my shoulder and the small hood is up, it strangles me a bit. I wish theyd make the neck opening and the hood just a little bigger! Maybe itll stretch with wear? Otherwise love the shirt!

Perfect for protection from the high desert sun
This hoody is the best protection from the intense NM sun and keeps me cool while hiking or gardening. It will go with me on my next trip to the tropics. I value that Capilene is recycled polyester and the hoody is Fair Trade sewn.
