Very durable and comfortable sun shirt! Have had sun shirts from various brands and this one seems to be the most durable so far. The fabric has a reinforced grid material that doesn’t pick easily but is still very comfortable on the skin. Not sold on the chest pocket but it doesn’t really get in the way or feel uncomfortable if you don’t use it. Has thumb holes that give extra hand coverage. Fit is true to size for other Patagonia clothes I’ve had. I am 5’4” and about 140 and XS is the size I got. Collar seems to be holding up well. The material has less stretch than other sun shirts I have so no worries on the collar stretching out over time and fits comfortably on my neck. Another great Patagonia product!
Really nice sun shirt, great for hiking, biking, or just wearing around. The medium fit me well, even though I usually wear large shirts. It's a pretty snug fit, but not too tight. The sleeve length is excellent. I have relatively long arms and the sleeves are plenty long, with enough length to use the thumb holes and still have room to move. The fabric is nice - lightweight and comfortable. Being polyester, though, I wonder about the shirt holding odors after multiple uses such as during a camping or backpacking trip. I also like the chest pocket, which is well made and seems durable. It's handy for small, lightweight items; I wouldn't want to put anything bulky or heavy in it. Really my only gripe is that the thumb holes are somewhat small and thus made for a tight fit, which gets a little uncomfortable after wearing for a while. Overall, a solid option for lightweight, breathable sun protection. Comfortable, easy to move in, not too tight and not too baggy.
There is a lot to like about this shirt but one major flaw.Starting with the the good, oh so comfortable. It is very light breezy. The fabric feels soft and nice on skin, and it breathes well in the sun, not feeling to warm even when in the sun. The fatal flaw is the sleeves. They are huge. I consider myself to have pretty normal arm length, but these were so long. I compared it to my other sunshirts and the sleeves are a full 2 inches longer than most of them. Maybe if there was a tighter elastic on the cuff bit that doesn’t fit the free flow style. I felt like I was my hands and arms were swimming. Again I think I am of pretty normal proportions. I’m not saying this can’t be a good shirt just highly advise trying on in store and not trusting normal sizing and ordering on online.
I used the shirt for kayak fishing and yard work. It is very comfortable and breathed well, especially with a light breeze. Temperature was in 80's and sunny. I liked not having to use sun screen. One star deducted due to chest pocket, which i felt was unnecessary and awkward, as well as long sleeves that bunched up. I understand sleeves are longer to allow thumb holes, but I wouldn't use this feature. Overall, I plan to use this shirt a lot, and would likely get another.
Liking my new light brown Patagonia sun shirt. Light weight, nice fit, comfortable and great color. I’m a big guy and this shirt still is very comfy. Great for fishing, hiking or general outside activities.
