When the sun is relentless and the miles keep coming, the Patagonia Women's Long-Sleeved Capilene Cool Sun Shirt keeps you cool and covered. It's Patagonia's most sun-protective tech tee, engineered for long, exposed days on the water or high in the mountains when you're moving hard and working up a sweat.
Built from 3.5-oz 100% recycled polyester jersey, the fabric's single-knit construction creates a naturally sun-protective barrier rated 40+ UPF that won't wash out over time. A wicking finish pulls moisture off your skin for fast-drying comfort, while a textured back lifts the fabric off your body to boost airflow. Minimal stitching and seams reduce chafing on all-day efforts.
Standout features:
- Sun-smart cuffs — Thumb holes and middle-finger loops shield the backs of your hands from UV exposure.
- 40+ UPF coverage — Single-knit fabric blocks the sun's rays with a protective effect that won't fade in the wash.
- Moisture management — Wicking finish and textured back keep sweat moving and air flowing.
- Secure storage — One zippered side pocket with a corrosion-resistant zipper holds small essentials close.
- Athletic sleeves — Shaped for easier, more natural arm movement and a better fit.
- Chafe-free comfort — Minimal stitching and seams for smooth, all-day wear.
Made from 100% recycled polyester and sewn in a Fair Trade Certified factory, which means the people who made it earned a premium for their labor.
This is the shirt to reach for on high-alpine traverses, sun-baked trail runs, paddling sessions, and long fishing days when hours of exposure are a given. Wear it solo in the heat or under a shell when the weather turns.
