Patagonia Men's Long-Sleeved Early Rise Snap Fishing Shirt
4.6/5
Kinda Large
January 31, 2023
A baby blanket for adults
This really soft shirt is the perfect 2nd layer for cool mornings writing for the hatch to start. It's on the roomy side and has some stretch - perfect for casting a #12 Hendrickson or reaching for an Allagash White. I originally bought this in a L, but after losing weight this year I decided to get another one in M. Haven't decided which... Read More lucky person gets my old one yet.
I bought my early rise snap shirt a couple years ago and it is hands down my favorite fleece/ midlayer y'all have made, and I've owned and really liked quite a few. Functionality is great, dries quickly, warm and pretty wind resistant as far as fleeces go, great pockets. Also get complements whenever I wear it, because it looks good. It l... Read Moreayers great, inner or outer depending on conditions, and I have slept in it many times(very soft, even after lots of washes)
5/5 please make it in more solid colors!(dark green!) I would buy a few. I think because this is in your fly fishing line, It's under marketed, and a lot of people just don't know about it. Here is my unsolicited advice as a lifelong Patagonia fan: Add this to your normal line of fleeces, or something comparable. Make a fly fishing version where the back shoulder panel, and the front chest panels above the pockets have a more softshell/water repellent fabric, but nothing too heavy, it's still a midlayer. that is all, love your gear
This shirt fits like a champ an performs even better. Ultra comfortable, extremely lightweight, and super warm.
Nice to finally have a heavy base layer looks as good as it works.
This shirt is the perfect outer layer for cool dry days working outside. Great moveability and stretch in the arms and across the back allowing for versatility when working in tight spaces. Front pockets are big enough and easy to access for a notepad or granola bar. Fits well and not bulky to wear under a vest. My favorite everyday fall/spring wor... Read Morek shirt.
Bought this for my boyf - he is 5'9" 175#, broad shoulders, slim-athletic build. Fits great. He's worn it several times already salmon fishing and fly fishing. Easy on/off layering piece. Functional chest pockets for small fly box or odds and ends. Toasty warm and he looks smokin' hot in it.
Id been keeping my eye in this, waiting for the ink black to come back in-stock. When it, I ordered it and excitedly waited for it to arrive, thinking it would be the perfect office overshirt. I was disappointed with the color, didn't realize it was going to be two tone, the ink black body with gray shoulder panels. And while I knew it wasn&#x... Read More27;t going to be a slim fit, I found it a bulky. Based on those two issues and the high cost, I returned it as I would not end up wearing it often.

So soft!!
This product is amazing, my wife got me the teal/blue after we saw it in a fly shop. The first time I wore it out a friend immediately got online and bought the same one. Its the perfect weight, the snaps are awesome, and you cant beat the color!
There are snaps that keep the collar down which are a nice feature too!
I dig the fleece shirt. It looks good with jeans and khakis and for how thin it is, it's pretty warm. I had to get mine tailored to fit properly. 6'2" 220lbs, athletic build and Patagonia clothing in XL fits great in the shoulders and chest, but billows in the body. Patagonia needs to start making an athletic or slim fit. I'm as... Read Moresuming most of the customers are relatively active.
Hey Chris, thanks for the review, we appreciate the feedback. We do make some of our items in a slim fit. You can check the fit on any item by going to it's product page, scrolling down and checking underneath the size range options. This shirt happens to have a relaxed fit which could explain the billowing you mentioned.

Great shirt; had to return for a medium
I am 6' and 180 lbs; the large was huge on me so I returned for a medium. It fits really well and I love the shirt. As always, Patagonia makes it easy to exchange if you need to.
Just got my third one of these, so I guess I must like them. Incredibly soft but durable, warm indoors without getting hot, and surprisingly good at blocking the cold down into the 40s. Great fit and finish, roomy pockets, and long enough tail for tucking in or fending off a draft untucked. Couldn't think of a thing I'd add or change.
I feel the shirt is slightly large; however, my wife says it fits perfect. I am definitely keeping after putting it on and feeling the comfort right away. Its enough room to allow me to layer under for those cold mornings out on the river fly fishing. I was hesitant about a snap button shirt but these definitely hold closed firmly yet are easy to d...

beautiful pockets....so warm, i really like the snaps on the shirt closure----i really hope the plastic snaps last forever, please----this is such a soft, warm, good looking shirt.....Fly fishing this year will test this shirt.....I feel like it will work well with a t-shirt during the summer, and stand by itself in fall and winter, under a coat...... Read More
Comfy, warm (but not too warm), great for shoulder season wear, or a cold home office. Nice pockets, aggressive snaps (this is good)Looks nice enough to wear out and about after the intended use. I'm about as average an XL fit as you can get, and my only beef is that it feels short top to bottom, compared to my Sun Stretch Shirts. The sleeves ... Read Morealso are a little short. Other than that, it's great. Hopefully the fleece holds up well when it comes to pilling. Time will tell.
Perfect fit for slim/athletic build. It looks great for a day at the office or out on the town. Great for fishing or hiking on a cool day. I liked it so much much I bought second one in blue.
I wear it outside these days as soon as the sun goes down in SoCal. It's very light and very very soft. I barely feel it. And I love all those pockets. Such a smart shirt. I wish they'd make more colors.
I love this shirt, whether Im working a field upland hunting or standing in a stream.
This comfy fleece keeps me cozy, its a great layering piece for any outdoor activity needing a little added warmth.
Perfect for cool days but not heavy enough for cold weather especially if windy. I am outdoors regularly especially fall and early winter for hunting. Would be perfect for all occasions if it had wind proof liner or a little heavier material.
I typically wear a large in Patagonia fleece/jackets, but sized down to medium at the advice of other reviews. The fit of a medium fits perfect. I purchased a second shirt, and was hoping to get a large, but large had sold out by then. If you want an oversized fit or relaxed fit take your normal size, if you want a more standard fit size down. Big ... Read Morefan. Ill buy a 3rd and get a large when I get a chance.
It's still like new, I've worn it out to nice dinners and of course fishing along our rivers. This medium fits me perfect 5'10" at 145 lbs. The cool pockets are useful and any jacket fits over it fine.
Really great shirt. It does run large so consider ordering a size smaller if you dont want room an extra hoodie underneath. The shirt looks great and is extremely soft which is perfect for a mid layer on the mountain or to walk around town.
After reading all the previous reviews I went ahead and purchased this shirt and I really do love it, however some of the things others mentioned are very true.
1) Very odd fit.. sleeves and chest are a medium and the rest of the shirt billows into a large. I spent $20 at the tailor and it fits amazing now.
2) If you're not careful with the ba... Read Moreck snaps I could see them ripping out easily, not sure why the backing is not reinforced like the cuffs and front snaps.
3) Really comfy, warm shirt. Now that it's tailored and fits I may need to buy another color!
I have worn this shirt under my paddle jacket on rainy river days, as a layer on fall hikes and over my vintage t-shirt at work.

Second one I have owned. Appreciate the warmth of the fleece used. Works well as a layer under my rain jacket, or as a light outer garment on cool mornings, or days.

After one wash, this shirt is ready to go. I have always enjoyed Patagonia clothing primarily due to its durability despite wind, rain, and rock. This shirt will by no means be any different.

The zippered pocket is really nice to stow away a passport or airline ticket without having to mess with a backpack strap and the button flap. Great idea there. The plastic snap closures for the front and pockets are just as bomber as stuff that I have purchased 20 years ago. Another great product from a great company.
I am about 5'9" & 210lbs and a medium fits me with a t-shirt underneath, but anything heavier would require a large. Fits a bit bigger for a Patagonia.
I bought this shirt for the chest POCKETS.
I wish Patagonia would make bigger chest pockets on all their mens shirts pullovers, jackets you name it. the chest pockets need to be at least 7 inches deep to hold smart phones and other gear. just look at military shirts from militarys all over the world. they have big chest pockets to make them more fu...

Lightweight warmth with button down style
My wife bought me this shirt because I forgot to pack my El Cap fleece quarter zip, while on a bicycle tour on the central California Coast. So glad she did! It kept me warm in the foggy evenings, with enough room underneath for a long sleeved sun-stretch shirt (XS), and a nano-puff vest (S). I wore it for a week, every evening and through the nigh... Read Moret. The material kept shedding for a few days and then it stopped. One more quality Patagonia product!
I went with a large instead of my usual XL & Im glad I did. The large fits perfectly. The buttons feel a little bit iffy, hopefully they hold up without any problems. I would definitely buy this again.
Absolutely my favorite layer for cool weather. Fits great, looks great and is super comfortable. This is simply a must have and is great for many activities.
Only feedback is I wish the elbows were double-layered. Other than that, this is an amazing, durable and comfortable shirt!
I bought one of these at a small retail shop and loved the fit, snap buttons and other features of this shirt that made me seek out another color of this versatile light layer.
This snap fleece shirt is nearly perfect. It dresses any post-surf session up, keeps you warm after a day on the river, and has enough room to layer underneath. The only drawback is the nylon cuffs which rub and arent as soft as the fleece.
30April2021: My other Patagonia fleece button ups were purchased in 2011 and had been thread bare for years. So happy Patagonia finally saw fit to make something comparable.

Love the shirt. The first one I got the snaps fell out. Returned it no problems. Great customer service. I think the should make the snap backings a little bigger to avoid this issue.
I own several Patagonia shackets, jackets, and fleeces of various flavors - all are size Mediums and fit great - except this one. This shirt is noticeably bigger.

Hey there, thanks for the review on our Long-Sleeved Early Rise Snap Fishing Shirt!

Perfect shirt ruined by faulty snaps
Had the last two versions of the snap shirts. The old synchilla snap shirt with metal snaps is still going strong ( best Patagonia product ever). I loved everything about this one but I should have heeded the warnings about the snaps. Only had it three months and wore it maybe 6 times. Tried to baby the snaps since I heard they could pull out but i... Read Moret didnt matter. They are one by one just pulling out if their holes. I dont even think they are sewn in to start with. Terrible design that ruins an otherwise perfect shirt! Back to the old snap shirt I guess. Why can they just remake the old version from 15 years ago? It was way superior to the last two fleece shirts they came out with. I bought them all.
I was excited see to Patagonia bring back what I thought was a remake of my very favorite Patagonia product of all time. The synchilla micro fleece snap shirt. I still have the forest green one I purchased almost 17 years ago and it's an all time favorite. (BRING IT BACK PLEASE) I tried the last version they came out with several years ago and... Read More it just wasn't the same quality of fleece nor did it fit right (very boxy and had buttons not snaps). Still have it but it stays in the closet and I wear the vintage one. I'm an avid fly fisherman and when I saw this shirt I jumped on it. I love everything about the shirt, the fit is spot on, the fleece is similar to the old synchilla (maybe identical) and the reinforced collar, pocket flaps and cuffs are awesome. I actually liked this better than my old one however there is one major flaw which ruins this shirt. The snaps are terrible and they pull right out of the holes in the fleece. I read this on other reviews but decided to take a chance and sadly its true. Since I had read this I was extra careful to never pull the shirt open by the material but by carefully grabbing the snaps with two hands. No dice. One by one they are still pulling out. You can pop them in again but they will pull out every time after that. If they would only just USE METAL SNAPS it would have been a perfect shirt. I don't even think the snaps are sewn in but they just seem to pop in when you stretch the hole a bit. Poor design. I have had the shirt probably three months and worn it a half dozen times and it has not been abused. I can't understand why Patagonia ruined a perfectly good product.
Had my eye on this shirt for a while. It has a great look that works for both casual and semi-dressed up settings. I am fairly thin (5' 11", 140lb) so I purchased both a S and XS. The XS fit almost perfect, while the S was a bit too baggy for me. There's likely enough room to wear a light long sleeve layer in the XS for me.
It'... Read Mores amazing how warm the shirt is for how light it wears. It regulates temperature very well. I can wear it indoors and not feel overly hot, and step outside into 50ish degree weather and still feel comfortable.
I love it so much I'll likely get a second one in another color. Can't go wrong!
I bought this piece for fly fishing. Nice pocket size and just the right weight worn over a T shirt for a cool evening on the river in late May or June. It also works well as a light mid layer under a rain jacket. My only complaint; I would prefer the shirt be a bit longer in the torso area. Not a deal breaker though. Good quality Patagonia product... Read More.
This might be one of my favorite pieces of clothing I have ever owned! This shirt is super warm and comfortable. It is great for a cold morning on the river or running errands around town during the winter. I need to order one in each color!
Really Happy with this shirt.
I am physically active and for the most part wear my clothing snug.
This shirt is (for me) just a bit loose in the mid/side. I am 510 155lbs. It did not stop me from purchasing all three colors.
I am able to wear these shirts 8 months out of the year comfortably.
Very soft and very quick to dry.
Solid quality ~
Been wearing the brand 20-25 years, love the stuff because the quality and construction is usually bar none; I usually get 15-20 years out of a synthetic based garment, with severe duty... But these snaps suck, some of which are are not backed in the soft stretchy fleece and pull through the fleece, and others simply break because they are plastic.... Read More Maybe this garment is an out-liar in my brand experience, I hope so. I lost my first snap this past week, then another a few days later, and now I am writing this....I still love the shirt but the snaps suck and buttons arent the solve either. Back the new style snaps (maybe metal?) like the lapping front is done, that would be a good solve. I had visions of portaging in the opening? BWCAW with it but the black fly would carry me off through the growing gaps. Oh, snap!...its not even a year old...

awesome shirt but go easy on the buttons
If you take off your shirts like a reasonable person, this piece is awesome. I'm 5'11 160lbs and usually fall between medium and large in PTG shirts and jackets. As far as PTG shirts go, this one has the length of a long, but the sleeve length and girth of medium. Room for a light layer underneath, but still easy to put a shell or another... Read More layer of insulation over it. I've worn it with just a t-shirt underneath, but it'll get clammy if the weather is warm enough to justify that combo. The orientation of the zip pocket is perfect for a phone, but depending on what size boxes you're using in the vertical pockets, they may interfere with wader straps. By no means a deal breaker for me. It's a little bit bulky in a pack or suitcase, but only because so many other kinds of insulation pack up so small these days.
Onto the other thing....
If you enjoy snap shirts because you can pull them off quickly with one hand a la Frank Drebin in Naked Gun, go easy of them. The stitching that holds the snaps into the fleece itself lends itself to pulling out easily. At first, you can kind of wedge it back in, but it'll fall out in the wash and eventually you'll have to make do without full buttoning capabilities.
If anybody from Patagonia sees this, is there an easy repair option? I couldn't find one on the wornwear page that addresses this type to plastic snap button. Awesome shirt, and due to quarantine, it's seeing a lot of time around the firepit and the busted buttons aren't detracting from my enjoyment!
Hi Dan! We're sorry to hear the snaps have fallen off. At this time our retail stores and repairs centers are closed as a precautionary measure for COVID-19. However, feel free to send your shirt in to us for a repair when we reopen! You can check our website for updates on our closures.

Favorite Patagonia Item
This shirt is a re-boot of my favorite Patagonia item of all time, the Micro D Snap Shirt. The one I purchased in 2006 is still going strong, but bought this as a backup and I now wear them both with high frequency. Love it! (FWIW, for my height/weight the sizing widget recommended an XL, but the L is perfect for me)
Shirt is extremely warm and comfortable. Fit is a bit large, but it's great for layering. Plenty of pockets for fly boxes, glasses, etc. Will be buying one in another color.
At this point I haven't fished in the shirt but from wearing it casually it's obvious that it will be great for cool weather fishing. Very pleased with the weight of the fleece and the pockets are plenty adequate for fly boxes. The zip pocket is perfect for glasses.
I've worn this shirt on the water fishing in 30 degree weather and was still comfortable. As the day warmed up to around 65 degrees it wasn't too warm to continue wearing it.
The Early Rise Snap Shirt was a great layer for a crisp November Morning fishing for trout. The nylon at end of sleeves is a great feature. Kept sleeve from getting wet when netting and releasing fish
