Great top for many activities: hiking in a variety of weather (alone, t-shirt, long sleeve shirt, jacket,rain gear, ) indoors, sun ( protection) . This shirt is perfect!
I normally buy cheaper clothes but decided to spring for this item and I'm happy I did. It's not expensive or over priced for how nice it is, but I'm just a scrappy thrift shop scavenger. It's super comfortable, very well constructed and designed and it's perfect for living on the coast and being at the beach almost daily. ...

Nice piece of gear. Ive got a couple Patagonia r/o sun shirts, but this is my new favorite. Its the same light weight fabric of the Capilene cool shirts so its soft, comfortable, and quick drying. I teach sailing so Im out in the sun a lot. This is a great way keep cool and stay protected.
Been loving this thing on the trails, when I need some UV protection on belay, and in the backyard doing yard work. Don't get burnt, keeps mosquitoes away and the moisture wicking helps a ton. I think an improvement would be that it is a tad bit more breathable?
I live in the Santa Monica Mountains and the sun can really get your skin if you aren't careful. When I'm running sunblock tends to get in my eyes and isn't very useful. I sweat a lot. The hood helps with protecting my neck and the thumb holes really give it a great mall ninja feel.
I have several of the older versions of these shirts. I ordered 2 new ones as my old ones are getting gnarly. In the older version I was a large. The new version is cut much more true to size.

This is precisely what I was looking for. Great cover from the sun and feels weightless while wearing. I even feel a little cooler in direct sun when there is a little breeze than when Im not wearing it.
Thanks again for delivering Patagonia.
I bought this for myself when they first came out and it has helped protect my arms from the sun while at beach after surfing, playing golf or walking.

They both were very impressed. ... Read MoreI have a few crews from a few years ago, wish you still made the crews with the thumb hole. Great idea making this with and without the hoody. Cheers.
Hands down Patagonia is my Favorite! Superb Quality...
This Hoodie is Amazing. It exactly does what it says.
I would definitely buy more of these if Patagonia make slight design changes.
1. I am using Patagonias Capilene Cool Daily Hoodie and i feel it is slightly more softer inside. (Maybe i am wrong)
2. I dont like to use button near my neck.... Read More It is little uncomfortable and awkward for me. (This is purely personal preference though)
3. Is it possible to use Capilene material for thumb holes.? (I like the soft material of the liner inside Nine Trails Shorts). Also, Maybe foldable pullover/sleeve for the rest of the palm. (This can give complete sun protection as well as warmth when needed)
4. It will be fantastic to have Darker Grey Color hoodie.
These are my favorite shirts on the planet, if I could wear them exclusively, I would! Lightweight and breathable, I cant wear them on hot days or cold, on the River or hanging around the house.
I really love this sun hoody, I think it's my favorite of the three different types that patagonia offers.

I usually wear it with the hood up over a Patagonia trucker hat and the sun protection is great. I now have 3 of these and plan to wear them pretty much every day outside. I have worn them for hikes, walks, working around the property, in my boat and on my paddle board. Love this shirt and highly recommend it.
This shirt is absolutely perfect for wearing to the beach, surfing, on the boat. Dries quick. Super comfortable. I'm 6'2" and 180 LBs and M fits really well, not too baggy.
This hoodie is perfect for the Spring weather. I bought this hoodie in order to stay protected from the sun. It isn't too warm to wear, even if it is 80 degrees and sunny. The fit is perfect, and I've already ordered another one. Highly recommended for those looking to keep the rays off while staying cool.
I bought this for added sun protection. It does an excellent job and remains cool through out the day. The hood works well to protect my neck and it doesn't get in the way or pull when not in use. I ended up buying another. Good for long casual bike rides, runs, hikes, or kayak trips.
This hoody is great because it provides full sleeve, hooded warmth, and wind protection on chilly mornings on the river and then seamlessly transitions to sun protection and cooling by the afternoon. Also, I am 6'1" and glad I went with the Medium as it fits true to size.
Super comfortable, lightweight, sun protection. I appreciate using this as sun protection instead of chemicals. Stays cool in the heat and hood fits over a ball cap. Great for casual wear as well as when working out/ mountain biking/ hiking. One of my favorite articles of clothing!
I have had at least one of these shirts for the past 6 years. They are excellent. Sizing is pretty true when the garment is dry, but some may think it runs a little big.

Overall solid shirt. I wore this for 4 days of intense/sweaty activity and I felt dry by the end of each day. Thumb loops fit under my gloves which is a bonus. The hood is huge, fits over a climbing helmet if needed. The button is nice for preventing neckburn from reflected sun off snow/water.
So far so good! Fits well and is really soft and comfortable. Haven't had it very long. But a full day of work on a sunny day and a few hours in the kayak on the lake and haven't got any sort of sun burn so it seems to be working well.
This product is new to me in 2021. Purchased for upcoming warm weather for hiking/photographing/beach walking in warm buggy weather so not yet tried in those conditions. Like the feel/monkey paws/hood.
Keeps me warm during the slight ocean / beach breeze run.
Thumb holes and neck/hood button are nice bonus options. If you spend a lot of time in the sun several shirts like this are important to own.
Wonderful quality as expected by Patagonia. Soft and breathable. My only issue is that it runs a bit large. Im 5 11 225 ordered a LX, as I do with all my shirts from Patagonia. But this one fit a bit different.
I'm a long-time Patagonia customer. I buy these products for the quality. Lately I am seeing that colors of some products are fading in the sun. This hoody is the second of this color, third overall, that I have purchased. When I placed the new one next to the old one I noticed the old one has faded quite a bit.

I am snowboard instructor and on these warm Spring days there is nothing better to work in. I can wear the shirt down to mid 20s and feel still comfortable when Im 70s in sun. I cant wait to flyfish this summer wearing this layer!
This is hands down the most comfortable shirt I have ever owned. I own 4 of them in various colors. Super soft and cooling on the skin. The thumbholes are perfect. The hood fits great.

So comfortable. I look forward to getting to wear it! I need another one!
This is a fantastic piece to add to an outdoor wardrobe. Great for on the river fly fishing or just lounging at the beach. Super comfortable and actually feels like a second skin. Highly recommend.
I specifically bought this piece as a base layer for downhill skiing this spring. Incredible piece. Crazy Comfortable. Moisture wicking. Perfect base layer and will be incredible on the river this summer.
Surgery removed my melanoma, but not my love of the outdoors, and this shirt has allowed me to live the life I want while taking prudent precautions to avoid too much UV exposure.

I saw a couple of people on the Colorado Trail wearing these so I decided to see if they're worth it. Here are a couple of reasons why I love it so much!

The hood is also excellent at keeping hemlock needles and other forest debris from getting down my shirt.

I wear these shirts while fishing in the mountains of North Carolina. Very comfortable, great sun protection. Even on the warmest, most humid days I stay cool and sweat free. The blue Camo looks great with my navy Patagonia baggies. Solid product.
I originally bought this shirt so I wouldn't fry while kayaking. I bought a men's because I have pretty broad shoulders. I fell in love with it so much that I bought another one. These are fantastic summertime shirts, they are super light and they fell like you're wearing water.
I really cannot go anywhere without this sun shirt weather its fishing, hiking, or day at the lake, this shirt is the perfect lightweight sun protection. I love the new blue camo style too!
I just spent 4 days on a River Trip in Utah. Relentless sun and 100+ degree temps. This shirt kept me cool (I swam in it as well) and protected from the sun! I would 1000% recommend to friends and family!
I love this hoody. It is perfect for a days fishing/rafting on the Colorado, and laying around after a day at the lake. I love the thumb holes and button on the neck that gives that extra protection or secures it on a windy afternoon pushing downstream.

I'm an avid outdoorsman with a rabid hatred for sunscreen. But, I understand the importance of blocking the sun. This shirt is remarkably lightweight, breathable and comfortable.

Most of mine do have a few holes (really bad bush whacking) the holes dont get bigger and havent gotten burned through any of them yet!

Also, the second version does not fray around the edge of the sleeves like the first version has.
These are my go-to shirts. I use them for ski touring in the late spring/summer, fishing, running, hiking, biking, and just wandering around. Can't say enough good things about these shirts. As a ginger in Co., who is less than religious with the sunscreen, these shirts are a game-changer for me. I wear these daily in the summer.

Awesome product, but I wish the gender price difference didn't exist.
It's so unfortunate that, as with many products, the women's version of this is more expensive. I still recommend this product, but I wish I could get a more fitted version for the same price.
Hello Catherine, thanks for your review. The reason why the women's is a bit more pricey than the men's is because it has two features that the men's does not; an adjustable hood and a zippered pocket. The men's does not have these features which makes it a bit cheaper.

I have used this almost every day since I've got it and it works great for keeping you cool while out in the sun. The fabric is perfect for wicking sweat away and keeping the sun off your skin. There is one design flaw though: where the stitching in the arm meets the end of the sleeve at the palm, the stitching is already coming out. Because I...

lightweight, roomy
I bought this for sun protection while fishing and hiking and am very pleased with this shirt. It is very lightweight and comfortable. Roomy enough to wear as an outer layer on cool evenings. It might be nice to have a single front pocket large enough for a small fly box and tippet for wading the flats.
Bought the hoody to use this summer on the water out here in the PNW and it's worked perfectly so far! The sun protection is great to have, it is incredibly quick drying, and the thumb holes are an added bonus when out on the water. If anything, I'd say the fit is just a tiny bit slimmer than other relaxed fit items I own but not enough t... Read Moreo really make a difference.
Absolutely loved this hoodie from the first moment I put it on! This is a must have for those afternoons when Im done with the sun. It feels cool to the skin during the day and perfect for balmy evenings when its still humid. It also wicks away sweat on those long rides on the beach cruiser. It is well made as usual and the logo is discreet.
The Tropic Comfort and very similar Cool Daily hoodies are 2 of the best garments I have for hiking/walking in the sun. Fits great, looks great and very cool and comfortable. The hood could be a little deeper as it doesnt quite entirely cover the sides of your face. I like these so much I have about 10 of them. Smolder blue is the color that will m...

Honestly the best hot weather shirt I have ever used. Great sim protection and the good stays on even in big wind! Would definitely recommend to anyone.
Super comfy and cool even when in the sun! As I get a little older keeping the sun off my skin has become increasingly important! Thanks for a great shirt.
I love these summer weight hoodies, light enough to let the breezes flow through but also great sun protection. With the hood and a ball cap you have a great shade system.
I love this shirt. Very light weight, soft and comfortable to wear even when it's warm outside. I'm going to pick up another for when this one is in the wash.
I really was impressed by the performance of this shirt. Its very cool and light but yet seems durable. Love the hood and thumb holes. Great shirt for long days in the sun. Patagonia please add more light colors.
This is my new hot weather all-arounder! Great fit and very comfortable, excellent sun coverage and the button detail on the neck is perfectly placed.
As someone who stays out of the sun when I can, this is excellent for runs, days fishing or on the water, and around the house or in the garden. I will absolutely purchase more colors of this garmen... Read Moret.
I really like this hoody as it is light weight and cool, while providing 50 spf sun protection. It dies run a bit on the lager size, so you may want to go a size down if you prefer a snug fit, like a rash guard.
I purchased 3 of these shirts in different colors for my son last summer. I don't think he ever took them off. So this summer I purchased 2 for each of my grandsons. They love them for hot and cold weather. My daughter in-law actually wears my grandson's shirt when she is out in the sun. They are a great fit, light, and nice colors.
First observed the Mt. Rainer guides using this hoodie during a full week of training and summit day.
I decided to try it out and it is my favorite go to hoodie. I have worn it on Mt Diablo in extreme cold weather by itself, while others were wearing down coats or several layers.

I wear this surf casting and just wore this everyday at a lake for fishing and just playing in the water. Keeps you cool in the heat, protects you from the sun, and is super light and comfortable.
Overall I love this shirt. My only gripe is that it seems to run a bit large so had to exchange the XL for a L. In general I have found Patagonia stuff to run a bit on the larger size.
Wore this for 2 days hiking out in Arizona in 90F+ degree weather. I found the hoodie to be extremely useful for keeping me cool while on trail, and the long sleeve makes it so you have plenty of sun protection on trails with little to no shade.

I have a few of these and they are absolutely amazing for protecting you from the sun when in the water in the tropic, which is where I live. I would recommend doing away with the buttons though.

I would wear this every single day of my life if I could. It's that comfortable. I ordered an XXL thinking I wanted the extra roominess. Turns out an XL Would have been just perfect. I love this top and plan to order more.
I bought this for my 13 year old sons birthday. He wears it all the time around the house and he says he likes the fit on the body not loose or tight. Helps a lot with heat when hes doing yard work and fishing.
I got this for mainly fishing and it has worked great so far. The fit is great and i love the thumb loops in the sleeves. All of this plus Patagonia's environmental policies makes this sun hoodie my favorite piece of clothing.
True fit, super soft texture. Great for keeping the upper body protected from the sun when wet wading rivers in Michigan looking for trout. Keeps me protected and cooler than if I was just wearing a t-shirt. Super breathable and the thumb holes are a major plus.
This is the third one of these I own... the first two were used when For guiding rafts now landscaping. I own two other hooded sun shirts from two different manufacturers, these are my go to!! Light weight, room to move with great UPF protection.
Love this shirt. Period. Got my first one for black fly and no-see um protection when fishing on the rivers in the Adirondacks.

Get this tropic hoody! I used it for a hiking, fishing, and working.. if your gonna get it do it! Got a lot of cool compliments and looks because of it. Go for it.
I got this hoodie for my boyfriend and he really liked it. The material is super light but not too thin and he says it keeps him warm when it's windy but doesn't make him hot in the sun. He wears to go fishing most often but has worn it casually because of its comfort. Great buy for the price and it fits really well!
Given the relaxed fit of the shirt I was a bit worried due to normally liking a more standard/slim fit. Ordering a Small did the trick - the hoodie is comfy and somewhat formfitting without being too short in the arms.

I like that this doesn't fit tight, it's light, airy and keeps you cool and dry. And of course, if you're a Scot like myself, keeps you from getting fried!
The sleeves at the cuff have a thumb slot that protects my hands from sun damage without the need to wear gloves. The hood is large enough to cover my cheeks and temples from sun damage and fits easily over a ball cap. Overall very comfy.
Woah! I have full sleeve tattoos and my arms usually bake in the sun, this shirt far exceeded my expectations in keeping me cool. Paired with my Baggies this thing is my summer uniform. I dont think sun protection can get any more luxurious than this!
Definitely relaxed fit as I'm between a large and extra large and this is plenty big. Great shirt for being in the sun hiking, boating, or biking. Well worth the money.
This is a great shirt for everyday wear. Sun protection and comfort are outstanding. I wear this shirt for work, sleep, and play. Patagonia hooded sun shirts are the best.
Almost invisible, feels like short sleeve (but long sleeve), unconventional fit that no other garment can live up to. It stands out in spring summer fall, stored in winter. Bought a second one. A bright orange. The color is growing on me.
Over the years Ive become fanatical about Capiline t-shirts. I wear Capiline Cool Daily t-shits literally every day and have for years now. On sunny days outdoors I previously wore the long-sleeve tee treated with permethrin for protection from both sun and bugs and the fabric is so functional and comfortable it is like a second skin. Until this ne... Read Morew hoody version came along I believed it would be impossible to improve the product any further. I couldnt have been any more wrong. The Comfort Hoody II has elevated the Capiline fabric far beyond my expectation. The hood and extended sleeves with thumb holes add even more protection exactly where its needed for a long day in the sun or on the water. I like this product so much I dont know what I will do if its ever discontinued because at this point I couldnt live without it. If you hike, camp, or fish get a few of these beauties. You will never regret it.
In East Texas, it gets hot and humid early....I wear these hoodys in the morning for my workouts and for working around in the yard.

Ordered this shirt for the UPF factor, not knowing what to expect. Needed a lightweight, long sleeved top to be able to wear in the sun and this one is the best of all the brands we tried. Extremely lightweight, silky-soft performance material, and comfortable.
While I am unable to use it for fly fishing currently that is why I purchased the tropic hoodie. I have found it very comfortable as a casual wear and have used it to play tennis. Very versatile and comfortable. I have 4 different colors.

I use it for bike rides, work and around the house. Its awesome at work when Im out in the direct sun all day! I will definitely grab a few more of these over time and I highly recommend it.

I am female and usually get a womens medium. I ordered the mens small because of all the color choices ! I take it backpacking and hiking . Great protector from the sun.
I like that this doesn't fit tight, it's light, airy and keeps you cool and dry. And of course, if you're a Scot like myself, keeps you from getting fried!
Honestly, the best summer hoodie of all time. Wear it in the day. Dont get sunburnt, and is breathable and keeps you cool during the day. Come night time, if it's cool, throw it back on and it helps keep you warm. Honestly cant ask for a better product. 11/10. would get it in more colors when i have the chance.
Don't really have any negatives, the hoody is super comfortable and I think looks pretty stylish. Definitely does its job protecting me from the sun. Fits like a glove (5'6" - 135lbs - bought an XS.

Survived a day on the stream AND my roommate's red wine spill
I rarely leave reviews, but I am honestly so impressed by this hoodie. It's super comfy. The day after I got it, I wore it fishing for a few hours on my local stream. The weather was ~78 degrees and sunny. It kept me from getting burned, and even though I sweat a bit in it, it didn't smell at all.
That night, one of my roommates spilled ... Read Morea very full glass of red wine all over me. Initially, I was worried - anticipating my new favorite hoodie having a giant wine stain on it forever... Before I even washed it though, I could hardly see any wine stain (it smelled like wine, but didn't seem to soak up the color).
I took it off and hand washed it in the sink with warm water and light detergent. Hung it up to dry overnight and it's good as new. In fact, I wore it all day today.
I might not take it off until someone spills wine on me again...
Awesome everyday shirt -- cool enough to wear in warm weather and keeps you protected from the sun. My wife & I both own these -- wear them hiking, biking, paddle boarding, around the house & yard.
I think I own every color of these, back to the first version. However, I've noticed on the newer ones they've put a very large Patagonia indicator on the back.
The precise reason I bought the first version, on a limb, was that fish was small enough on the back I didn't feel I was wearing an advertisement.
The second version (the ... Read Moreone this review is tied to) started off even better on this aspect, only having the name Patagonia on the front chest. The material is assuredly different from v1 to this one, but loved them both.
I hopped on the site to see if any new offerings had come regarding this and was pumped when I saw new options. However, I was quickly disappointed when I saw the newer v2's had an enormous display on the back.
I really appreciate the quality that Patagonia offers (I'm a big believer in you get what you pay for - they back that up without a doubt). The only thing: if there's a large advertisement on the clothing itself, I pass every time. If you'd like me to be a billboard, great: pay me.
All in all, I love the new color tones, just not the added aesthetic.
Great as a sunscreen and also as a comfort layer against light wind and cool temps. Also I wear in the water a lot and it dries quickly. For me as a tall female, the men's small is ideal as it has proportionally longer sleeves with a skinnier body than the women's M or L.
Great all around long sleeve shirt, sun protection is just an added bonus. Very comfortable, thumb holes and hoodie, with button v neck are all nice details that are totally functional.
I used this shed hunting in the spring, scouting in the summer and hunting in the fall. Super breathable, dries quickly, keeps the bugs off, and is super quiet. Highly recommend for any backpack hunter.
I have two Patagonia Sun Hoodies and love them both. The first generation hoody fits a bit large which I like a lot, for it stays under your harness and allows air to circulate well.

Read Morer took it off during the 42-mile Teton Traverse, and I lived in it during a two-week trip to the Bugaboos. I would very highly recommend this layer.

Bought as a gift for my 21 year old son and he loves it! Happy mom when you can buy a gift for your adult kid and they like it. Of course anything Patagonia he loves due to their environmentally practices.
I ordered the hoody as a size medium looking at the “size chart” and noticed when I got the hoodie that it was too small and Should of ordered a large size.

Bought this for my son for at the Denver Patagonia because we didn't pack the right clothing for our vacation. He liked it a lot. When we got home my older adult sons liked it so much I ordered two additional ones for them. This was a big hit with all of them 16-27 years.
I've now 3 of these and 3 of the crew style. They are fantastic as a first layer or only layer for sun protection. the thumb holes at the cuff make all the difference. It's kinda large but I like that.
This has replaced all my other fishing shirts. The only change I’d make is to ad a tiny tab for attaching hemostats. But it’s a tiny gripe and you can obviously just clamp them to the shirt. Guided i the shirt for over 40 days this summer.
Oh and this tropic comfort hoody! So soft and comforting! I wear this thing all the time and in every condition. Great for hot days outside if you don’t like sunscreen! Great for cold days and layering up.
This is my third Patagonia hoody, and second Comfort II and they are the closest to the original Patagonia hoody, the ole grey one which I found most comfortable... the size is accurate and fit nice and loose but fitted just the same ...

Great shirt but unfortunatly had some minor issues
I love the shirt. It fits true to size. Sometimes Patagonia stuff runs small on me and I have to size up. I bought both and XXL and the XL just to make sure and the XL fit perfectly. I was honestly a little surprised but it fits like the XL shirts that I am used to.
Only downside was that the button came off after washing it once and the seem popp... Read Moreed on one of the sleeves. I had only worn it once or twice and wasn't doing anything too vigorous so I probably just got one that wasn't sewn great. Otherwise, love the shirt.
I use these in the shoulder seasons as a nice layer. It's soft and stretchy and doesn't bunch up. The hood is light enough to feel as though it's not there and in your sight line while providing a little shelter.
The Patagonia site does not make clear that the shirt I ordered has a big Patagonia logo on the back.
I already own four of these shirts so didn’t check, and it got thrown straight in the wash. It’s no longer new and returnable I assume.

I have a couple crewneck baselayers (think they're daily tees) in longsleeve, and this is just basically those plus a hood, monkey thumbs and a button at the collar.

I own a few of these now but can never have enough
The Tropic Comfort Hoody II is just that, super comfortable! I love that I no longer need to worry about sunscreen when out and about in the mountains as I can be fully covered by this garment without getting overheated!
Have worn hoodies for years. Very partial to the old designs. This is a great addition to the line. Very light and packable.Cool in sun and with t-shirt underneath works well as it grows cool. Do not really miss the front pocket after a week or so of wear. This design in this cloth is a keeper.
I have an older tropic comfort and bought a couple new ones because the old one is one of my favorite pieces to climb, paddle, and fish with in the summer. The new fabric is lighter and more breathable, and the fit seems just a bit less boxy while retaining its loose and airy nature. Patagonia knocked it out of the park with this one.
Super lightweight fabric doesn't hold heat well yet still is nice in the evening when it starts to get cool. Does a great job at covering as much as possible to shield from sun for a day on the water or at the beach.
I was looking for a light-weight breathable long sleeve hoodie and this delivered! I love the fit, I love the feel, and I love the look of it. Not all shirts fit me great so I was nervous ordering it without trying on but this thing is everything I was looking for. It’s a really well made product.
Performs quite well. Lightweight, comfortable, stretchy, hardly know it's on. However, the light colors seem to attract dirt like a 2 yr old. Cleans up OK so far, but I can't wear it without getting the stain remover out every time. Darker colors are needed if you aren't on a guided trip.
As a fishing outfitter, I spend many days in the sun. Not only does this hoodie protect you from the sun, but it keep you cool as well. It is also nice enough to wear out to a casual dinner. I absolutely love mine!
I bought the Ms Tropic Comfort Hoody II and have been loving it! It is great for sunny days to keep my from having to apply sunscreen. I like how thin the fabric is because it helps me stay cool on a hot and sunny day.
