Good for warm weather sun protection
Patagonia traditionally has awful oversized fits, and I was afraid with the "relaxed fit" this would be huge, but actually fits quite good. Much thinner than a similar one I have from Marmot, which is good for warm weather. Has a nice fit that enables active moment, without looking like a trash bag. Only complaint is that the hood is a ta... Read Mored large and if its windy can catch wind gusts, wish it was a tad bit more form fitting, but it fits over a helmet/hat better this way.
Not a huge fan of the color/design, but its not really a fashion statement
A great fit garment for sun protection. Room for casting with out binding at your shoulder. plenty of sleeve length. a nice summer garment for fishing of hiking.
Love all Patagonia Capilene products. I have about a dozen long sleeve Capilene shirts/hoodies. The size XL relaxed fit is just too big. I should have trusted my instincts and ordered a large. Other than it being too big its and amazing shirt. Keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter.
Bought for BVI sailing as a sun layer - slightly long and loose which is exactly what I wanted - was not looking for a tight fitting garment and this was perfect - hood helpful as well - overall very pleased for this type of use...
Love the shirt for my fishing trips. A great way to keep from getting to much sun. It is very comfortable in warm weather or as a base on cool mornings. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
Good quality. Good fit. As other reviewers stated; I miss the old model with the thumb holes to protect the backs of your hands. I fish in Florida, and do not like sunscreen on my hands.
Worked great for 2 weeks on the water in Hawaii. Comfortable, quick drying, cool when it was 85. Fits loosely and ventilates well with a very slight breeze.
I love this hoodie and own three with 2 more on the way. The material is super soft, comfortable on the skin and quick drying. It offers great protection in the beat-down Florida sun. It is my #1 fishing shirt ever.

Fly fishermen like me love a zip pocket for leaders, flies, sunglass wipes, etc.
This is the 3rd time Ive purchased this item for my partner and I bought one for my nephew
My partner is a huge fan of these shirts. We purchased the first two after visiting Maui and staff on a boat tour were wearing similar styles to protect from the intense sun. We visit the beach each summer and anticipate him wearing these in the water; in the mean time, hes been wearing these nonstop this winter. The only suggestion is - he prefers...

Perfect lightweight hoody for any outdoor activity. Looking forward to the golf course on a sunny day. Durable construction for such a lightweight garment and the fit is perfectly relaxed!
After many days on the river and on the salt I discovered that hoodies can really take the hammer off of sun exposure. I wish that I had this back during the 70s.
How can one garment be perfect when you need a little extra warmth and perfect when you need a cool layer? The feel of the fabric is so darn comfortable you never want to take it off. A real winner.
Perfect for being on the water all day wear tee shirt underneath loose fit good sun block hood helps with the reflection from the water loose fitting makes it easy to work the boat and pull up crab traps,
The shirt arrived like it was wadded up prior to shipping.p (very wrinkled). I threw it in the wash on cold and then into the dryer for 15 minutes on warm. The shirt was still very wrinkled.

I love this shirt for casual beach wear and Pickleball.
Yes, I would definitely recommend this shirt. Just iron or steam prior to wearing the first time.
This could be the perfect fly fishing shirt with two modifications. Please, please add a 3/4 zipper for airflow. Of secondary importance would be the inclusion of a small zippered chest pocket (for tippet storage, etc.). This is one of my favorite Patagonia products (and I have many).
I love it so much I have gifted it to friends and family. It ha... Read Mores a great fit, it is super soft and dries quickly.
I love the Roy Fitz logo's and wear them proudly since I'm in the fishing industry. On this sweater I wish the fish logo was a little bigger in front so you could see it better and a little lower in the back so it wasn't covered by the hood when it lays down.
I wear this casually. It is quite comfortable, exactly what I wanted. Capilene is a favorite fabric for me.
Others have suggested that a 3-part hood design might be better--to remove the center seam. That sounds good to me, although I have not had an issue with the center-seam design.
This is a nice product, we wear them snorkeling quite a bit. However, they changed the design recently and no longer have the button on the hood and, more importantly, no longer have the thumb holes on the sleeves....
Very nice, well made shirt. You can tell the stitching is well done, I don't know anything about stitching, but with these spandex-like stretchy shirts you know how the stitching is the first to go with other brands like Huk or even Columbia PFG. These seem to be double stitched and more able to endure when you stretch out the sleeves or neckl... Read Moreine. Also the amount of fabric is quite generous for the size. I like a more relaxed fit, and don't buy into this "athletic cut" most companies are selling so they can get more yield out of the same bolt of fabric. This is actually an extra large and at 5' 11" inches and 190lbs, I probably could have done a large but the xl is great if I want to throw a tshirt on under it. Very soft too and not scratchy like other "sun shirts". Seems to dry very quickly as well. Very happy with this shirt.

Super Comfortable
Im a chubby dude, and the XL relaxed fit was the perfect choice for me. 5ft10in and 220lbs. This hoody is super comfortable. Perfect for lounging, fishing at the beach, hiking. Everything. I love it.
5'10" 175 lbs athletic relaxed fit M is perfect. Wore this for 4 consecutive days of riding thorny, exposed trails on the AZT in Arizona and it was absolutely perfect.

Fishing in a hot tropical climate, this shirt did its job! Kept me the sun off me. I'd like a little chest pocket and maybe a snap to snug up the hood would be nice. The fit was good, price was right!
Love the patagonia products (Southern California native) almost as much as I love the ethos of the company, as established by Yvon and confirmed by his family.
This is a must-have base layer. It is light to wear and moves freely across your skin This allows it to pair well with whatever you put on next. For a recent hunting trip in the San Juan mountains, I wore this next to my skin, followed by a short sleeve Capilene, a button-down work shirt, a vest, and a hunting jacket. Perfect for those mid-30s earl... Read Morey mornings that quickly turn into full sun affairs where you break out into a sweat just thinking about climbing that next ridge. It also provides excellent sun protection. It is the comfort provided by the fabric that makes this possible. I love sleeping in the hoody as I never lose the hood in the middle of the night like I do with a ski cap. When I get cold I can always find a cover for my head! Super convenient. I recommend keeping two in your pack as they are an extremely versatile layer that you can wear from the beach to the snow-covered mountain top.
Fall has arrived & this hoodie shirt beneath a flannel layer or sweatshirt works great for the cool mornings & evenings. Flipping up the hood really helps to stay comfy. In the winter I will add a down layer & double hoodie. In the summer, the shirt is light enough to wear & shield from the sun. I also like the fish on the back. 5 f... Read Moret-10in, 145 lbs.

We will be releasing a new UPF-protective hoody called the Tropic Comfort Natural Hoody around the beginning of February, with features you might prefer. In the meantime, you're welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) this shirt.

Great shirt for warmer summer hike
Great base layer for cool starting, warm and sunny hike. Very comfortable all day long.
Bought this with the idea of using for kayaking and hiking and end up evolving to my go to light long sleeve shirt, I even use it at work. I usually wear a medium in Patagonia but decide to size down size since the site said its relax fit and that did the trick.
Great hiking/woods walking shirt. Wore mushroom hunting with temps ranging 65-80 degrees with sun, clouds, smoke changing conditions. Comfortable throughout. Also seemed to be resistant to mosquito penetration. Loved the hood for that purpose, under and over a ball cap. Do wish it had thumb holes as arms a little long and would have helped with the... Read More mosquitos.
Medium with relaxed fit is sized just right for the longer torso.
The best thing about this capiline cool daily hoody is the fit. I am 6 feet, 180 pounds, not much gut, but due to a long torso and short legs medium sizes barely cover my belly button. This medium (relaxed fit) is a bit longer than usual and just the right length. It hangs down to just above the important stuff!
The material and the color are awesome. Its great for hot days out in full sun. My only complaint is that the sleeves on this relaxed fit version are longer that the regular fit. I usually have to roll them up.
Purchased this shirt as I wanted to get some more Patagonia gear in my closet, typically I wear XXL PFG Columbia shirts (best fitting and comfort) and North Face shorts (best true to size active wear). I have other Patagonia shirts but I've found sizing to be off and fits similar to North Face tops which is tighter vs Colmbia tops giving more ... Read Morerelaxed and comfortable fit and consistent sizing. So this top I went up to a 3XL for sizing.
This top is comfortable, heavier than you typical moisture wicking top but I feel it will do me better on chilly early Fall morning hikes and be more durable longevity wise. It does a good job keeping you cool in full direct summer sun, but isn't as airy feeling which can be good and bad. If you're just sitting in the sun baking, it's a bit warmer. If you're on a boat or in windy conditions it cuts the wind pretty good.
I do wish it had thumb holes, the absence of these make it less protective on the hands which if I'm out fishing on the ocean is a nice to have. Also if I'm hiking, it's nice to have less loose clothing when it starts getting wet.
In all its a good shirt and comfortable. Just be mindful that it has no thumb holes and material is a bit heavier than your typical tech style shirt.
Perfect layer for hot summer days working on the river. Comfortable, light quick dry fabric with a great fit and feel. So good I bought multiple. This is by far my favorite summer shirt.
This is one of very few long sleeve shirts that I can wear during hot summer months. Light weight and super breathable. Perfect as a sun shirt during hot outdoor activities and can double as a lightweight summer evening layering shirt to keep the mosquitoes away!
This is a touch heavier than the Daily Graphic T (which is my favorite clothing piece- love it!). The hoody looks to have an extra inner layer to it and is not quite as breathable as the T. Very close, but not the same. Almost- but not quite perfect.
Good, but prefer the 2021 Technical Sunshade Hoodie
I am glad I have bought the Capilene Hoody, but I prefer the Men's Technical Sunshade Hoody from 2021. I was looking for another Technical Sunshade Hoody. It is not offered. I have been told it is being re-designed for Spring 2023. I am looking forward to that. There are four key features of the 2021 Technical Sunshade Hoody that are not inclu... Read Moreded in the Capilene Hoody. They are (1) a chest pocket, (2) thumb loops at the sleeves, (3) a button to secure the front of the hoody near the front of the neck, and, (4) 50 spf instead of 30 spf. I miss all of these four features. I have had skin cancer. I need the sun protection. I still enjoy mountain hiking, walking on the beach and being outside. Sunshade hoodies are important to me and I wear them often. Although I wear the Capilene on a regular rotation, I look forward to a new design of the Spring 2023 Technical Sunshade Hoody. I'll buy them if they restore the missing features.
I recently wore the Capilene Hoody during a hot and buggy day fishing the Madison River near Ennis, MT. It kept the bugs off, protected my arms, neck, and ears from sunburn, and I was warm but not hot while casting for trout. The 3 big ones got away, but I kept my cool.
This is now my primary backpacking shirt. It gives me all the SPF coverage I need with the comfort of super soft feel. The hood works well with my baseball style hat.
Bring back the Tropic Comfort II Hoody! I miss the thumb loops and the 3-panel hoody that's big enough to fit over a baseball cap when also wearing one. The lack of these two features caused me to ultimately not buy this "streamlined" version.
I love this lightweight and compressible hoodie. I like how the hood flits your head snugly and also folds into the shirt when not in use. It is both cool and warm, and great for a backpack when conditions may change.
Love the design/color. I like a loose fit so ordered XL. L would have worked, too. If I was redesigning this I would add a short zipper at the neck for additional ventilation.
This hoody runs small for me I use it for work when guiding rowing driftboat fishing. I bought a size large in the past and was good with large hood and thumb loops. This graphic hoody seems to be cut down in overall size even though I ordered a size up it has a smaller hood and shorter sleeves and no thumb loops for the extra hand coverage on days... Read More I forget to bring my gloves. Glad to be wearing recycled and lower impact but Im missing the practical features of the older generation of Patagonia sun hoody.
I wore this hoodie for a recent ocean fishing trip. I spent nearly 6 hours in full sun and did not burn. Even better, the material is light and breathable, and although I spent the day in the sun, I was never too hot. I highly recommend this product!
I love these. I own several and I will buy more. They are so comfortable and look great. I wear these when I hike, on the water, in the sun, during yard work or out and about. These are so lightweight they can be tucked away in your bag for when it gets too sunny or just a touch chilly. These are so comfortable my girlfriend steals them and wears t... Read Morehem. Overall these are amazing.
I was surprised by how light the material was. When I saw hoodie, I expected a night medium weight hoodie. I was unfamiliar with the Capilene material, and did not realize how light it was. I love the color and style. Maybe it would be possible to let future purchasers know about how light the material is, compared to other materials.
Hi Louis, thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. We're so happy to hear that you're enjoying the Capilene Cool Daily Graphic Hoody.

Needs 3-panel Hood like Tropic Comfort II hoodie, otherwise great material
Patagonia appears to have discontinued the Tropic Comfort II Hoody (which I love dearly) so I decided to purchase this thinking the design team wanted to streamline the sun-hoody lineup. The material is thin, breathable, and cool in high temps; definitely the best/coolest of any sunshirt competitor. The relaxed fit is nice and breezy, I find that c... Read Moreooler in miserable Florida summers than tight fitting "wicking" shirts because evaporative cooling doesn't work as well in humidity as it does in the desert. My biggest gripe is the hood and it really has me bummed out. The Tropic Comfort II Hoody has a large 3-panel hood that fits easily over a hat, while this Capilene Hoody just has smaller hood with a single seam running down the middle. The smaller hood doesn't easily pull over a hat and the body is actively pulled-upward when you do flip it up. They also did away with thumb-holes on this model which isn't a big deal for me. The medium fits great at 5'11 180lbs.
We are so sorry to hear of this design flaw in our Men's Capilene Cool Daily Graphic Hoody. We went ahead and reached out to you via email to offer some help with your return. We also passed your thoughts along to our Design Team. Thank you so much for your extremely helpful feedback.

Bought 2 of these and the havent disappointed! Im spend a ton of time outdoors in the sun and these are cool, fashionable and protect me wherever I am.Patagonia never disappoints! Keep up the great work
I'm in Arizona at about 3,700 feet high and hike in temps ranging from the high 20s to high 70s.

I was comfortable throughout the hike, including on the hills. I don't believe it is SPF rated, but I like it because it keeps the sun off my arms without adding warmth. I love it. Very glad I bought it after my wife said "You're buying aNOTHER one??"
I love this shirt. I ordered more. It has an amazing feel and is incredibly breathable. The fit is spot on. Its fantastic for anything active and now a go-to for those days when I just want to be lazy and comfortable. I cant recommend it enough.
This is a lighter than air garment but very helpful in cooler and misty conditions like walking trails, beaches, or biking. When you need something on top but not a heavy covering, this is perfect.
I have about ten of these from over several years, all in medium, that I ware daily. This time I ordered medium again, but this shirt seem like it is a large. Still fits fine, Ill keep it.
Love the look and how it feels wearing this long sleeve around town, before and after surfing and just going out to dinner. Stylish Patagonia at its best! Nonstop compliments from friends.
It's been warming up lately and love to put these on for bike rides, walks, surf fishing and lounging around beaches. After wading out in the surf to cast, it got all wet but I was amazed how fast it dried! I'm planning to wear this in the mountains casting flys for German brown! Yahoo!
I love my Patagonia hoody for sun protection. The fabric feels good against my skin and the fit is perfect. It doesn't take up much space and is easy to wash in the sink so it's great for traveling.
