Patagonia video – Capilene Cool Sun Collection
Patagonia explains that the UPF 40+ protection in the Capilene® Cool Sun collection comes from the single-knit fabric construction itself, so the sun protection does not wash out over time. The fabric also wicks moisture, dries quickly and helps manage the body’s microclimate during long exposed days on the water or in the mountains.
What Patagonia customers say
Reviews on Patagonia’s official product page repeatedly mention comfort during hot days on the water, quick drying and good coverage for the hands and neck. Customers like that the hood fits well over a cap without feeling restrictive, and several praise the longer sleeves with thumb holes. Sizing preferences vary slightly: some stay with their usual size, while others size up for a looser fit. One practical criticism is that the chest pocket can interfere with or rub under a backpack sternum strap.
