I actually really like this shirt! It is thoughtfully designed and feels lightweight but not lacking in quality. From the thumb and additional finger hooks to the zipper pocket design, overall it just feels like the design was very well thought out. The fit is also perfect. I thought it might be a little boxy from photo but it actually is form fitting just enough. I threw it on as soon as it came in the mail and my husband and kids both said they liked how it looked without hesitation. I wore this today for outdoor yoga and wanted the sun protection. It was actually great. Sweat dries fast and it feels very comfortable. Can’t wait to wear this shirt more for other adventure.
The Patagonia Capolene cool sun long-sleeve shirt lives up to its name. It is very comfortable and kept me cool and protected from the sun on a hot day. I love that the sleeves are long enough and have thumb holes if you need them. There is also a pocket on the right side of the shirt in the rib section, not the lower section like many other shirts. While you can put a cell phone in the pocket, it is a bit too heavy. Something like ID,snack or key would be better to store in the pocket. Good coverage front and back even when lifting arms in the air. True to size. Color is nice as well. Overall 5/5.
Great sun shirt. The fit is really nice. The sleeves are long enough to comfortably use the thumb holes and nifty finger loop. For rafting this is huge, because the tops of your hands get blasted all day, and full coverage that stays over your knuckles is key. The body is also nicely tailored for me as it’s not too slim. I was truly amazed at how quickly this shirt dried. I could dunk it fully in the river and it was bone dry in less than half an hour. The fact that it is made from recycled material is a major bonus. The zipper pocket at the rib didn’t rub even with a tight PFD and might really come in handy for small items like gels, chapstick, ID etc. Overall smitten with this sun shirt and it will be a regular in my rotation. Next time I’ll buy the one with a hood!
Love this shirt! It’s breathable and lightweight and dries quickly. I was concerned it might be too warm but it feels the same as a sleeveless shirt but with sun protection
