Made for high-sweat pursuits, this Patagonia shirt is light and quick to dry. The fabric has a honeycomb construction that gives you more airflow to shed heat and moisture in a flash.
“I bought several of these to replace worn-out running shirts and was immediately impressed by how light they felt. They've become a staple for my daily runs and were one of the first pieces I packed for a 6-day High Sierra Trail backpacking trip.”

I bought several of Patagonia’s Capilene cool lightweight shirts for our tropical climate. The Ultra replacement seems better. I’m grateful for Ultra’s regular (vice slim) fit.
Super lightweight, and the fit is really good except for the neck, I found the neck hole smaller than most shirts but not to the point of being problematic.
Thread snagged in the front within a few hours of wearing it around the house and yard. No idea what happened as I wasn’t doing anything that should have been rough on it. Loved how cool it was and how quickly it dried. Brushed off the snag and wore it as my favorite T. Within 2 weeks it somehow got cut (sliced)… again no clue how or what happened. Never seen a shirt damaged so quickly.
The ultra runs smaller than the normal Capiline t-shirts. I normally wear medium, but have to exchange ultra for a large
These shirts really do a great job dissipating heat while working out in the gym. My recent experience wearing Under Armour Men's Tech 2.0 was not so good, it had no odor control, or should I say it created a unique odor. The Patagonia shirt has no odor after intense workouts at a gym. I'll be back for more and it was worth the extra money. Would I wear this outside in the sun? Probably not as it would provide very little UV protection because it is very thin, however, I would wear it hiking under trees.
Excellent shirt for hot weather! It breathes really well and the fabric is comfortable. I own a handful of Capilene Cool Daily shirts but this one is lighter and breathes better.
The fastest drying T shirts I have found! I use them daily as a Chef to keep cool and dry in a HOT kitchen.
Order never received. I've attempted to post a question repeatedly about this product in Den Brown. Not sure if anyone else did not get their item. REI says that Patagonia never fulfilled their order. Patagonia gives a run around too. I own the shirt in another color. It is OK, but not worth never getting the item and intransigence from Patagonia.
Patagonia is spot-on when it comes to wicking action. This shirt is perfect in the extreme heat we now experience. It washes well and seems like it will be a staple for quite a while.
