If we have any hope of a thriving planet—much less a business—it is going to take all of us doing what we can with the resources we have. This is what we can do.
I love the light material and stylish colors. I would say this runs a little small, I'm usually between a medium or large and I definitely needed the large. Love this shirt
My husband is obsessed with his capilene tops from Patagonia, so I decided to snag one too. Its amazing! Feels so silky and cooling, breathes well, dries quickly, and washes well. It has held up well to backpacking in humid and hot conditions, travel, casual wear, a run and a couple washes all in a short span of time. I love the turquoise color too... Read More. Im 5ft 4, 32C with a narrow build and the small fits well, but the shoulders might be a smidge tight.
Perfect shirt for hiking. Love the fabric and logo design. I wish it were taken in slightly at waist for a less boxy fit. Cap sleeves could also give the t-shirt a more flattering look while not losing practicality. Overall, great shirt for being active outdoors.
These are my go-to shirts. I wear them to work out and both in the summer and winter as a bottom layer when I know Ill be sweaty - as a woman over 40, Im always sweaty. I think this is my favorite Patagonia product.
I first bought this shirt as the long sleeve version since I live in Texas where the sun is very hot in the summer. This shirt breathed so well and had such good sun cover I decided I needed the short sleeve version as well. The fabric is super soft and well made and I will be purchasing more of these shirts.
I love this shirt. I usually wear a large top and I ordered a large and it's perfect. It's very soft and lightweight..perfect for hiking by itself or as a layer. Will be ordering more.
I have three pairs of the long-sleeve version and love them. So I thought I'd try the short-sleeve version. The arm holes feel tighter than the long-sleeve ones. I can still wear it but I'd have liked a little more room in the arm holes.
Comfortable. A little baggy but cool. Florida runner any cool clothing is a life saver literally! Done miles and miles in these shirts and have never had a problem and the sweat isnt noticable so if you need a beer before a shower you can easily hit up the local bar and your shirt will still look fly!
Patagonia Review:
I have several of these shirts in both short and long sleeved versions. I am very happy with the way they fit and wear. True to size, the shirt moves with you on all kinds of adventures.

I've done several 5 star reviews on these shirts.
I'm overwhelmed by the quality, comfort, fit,
print and versatility. What more can I say.
Please keep making these shirts, Patagonis, and don't change anything.
I wear these tops for everything from running to errands. The fit and weight are perfect for South Florida weather. The fit is just right, loose enough to be unrestrictive but fitted enough to still look flattering.
I love, love, love these capilene shirts. They are lightweight, flattering fit and wash beautifully. I have about 8 of these shirts and wear them constantly.

This time I bought the Root & Grow shirt to add to my collection of these wonderful shirts. Love the natural color and nature inspired statement. I pair these shirts with my Island Hemp Beach pants - perfect for dance class, casual strolls and suitable for casual dinners. Sized up to medium again. I'm 5' 1" and 107 pounds.
Fits perfectly, feels amazing on my skin, and is cooler and more comfortable than any of my other activewear t-shirts. It makes me want to get rid of my other tech shirts and buy more of these (I wont, but the desire is there!)
I own this shirt as a long sleeve and wear it as a rash guard/sun shirt because it's so light and breathable. I was going on a long backpacking trip and knew I wanted a no fuss lightweight shirt to pack with me but didn't want to get too hot from the sleeves. I'm super happy with this shirt and will likely purchase more over the year... Read Mores!
The fabric is amazingly soft to the touch (great for my skin!) but the T is sturdy and doesn't seem "snag prone" like some fabrics. I'd give it 5 stars, except I can't get more than one active day wear without having to wash. My sport (Trap Shooting) isn't listed - but this was extremely comfortably under my shooting v...

I try to stick with natural fabrics, but night sweats forced me to seek a lightweight wicking quick-dry sleep shirt, and this one is perfect! I like it enough to pull it on for hiking as well. That sweat underneath the backpack dries MUCH more quickly with this shirt than a cotton tee.
A great layer that I wear for all sorts of activities. These used to have an SPF rating (and then they were recalled because of possible lower-than-rated sun protection), but I still wear this as a protective layer when hiking or running in the sun. I also pull it on over a tshirt when I need a tad more warmth. Love it.
I have three of these. I'm not a minimalist, but I definitely only rotate through about 6 different shirts for running and mountain biking and this one takes up 1/2 the slots.

The fabric is nice, breathable, not quick to smell bad, doesn't pull or snag with use of hydration packs. I often get a couple of wears before washing depending on how hot and sweaty I get on my rides and runs.
Colors and graphics are fun and varied (hence my collection of three).
My only minor gripe is that sometimes in the heat of the summer (granted I'm in the Southeast US so it's sweltering), the shirts hold a good bit of sweat. In a way, it's not bad having extra moisture around to feel cool while on the trail, but post run, I have to air out the shirt or give it a good squeeze.
All in all, this is the finest athletic shirt I own and I hope Patagonia makes them the same way forever!
Wore this for the first time while on a several day backpacking trip in the Alps in 70-80 degree heat. Of all the shirts I had, this was the only one that didnt leave my back soaked from sweat. Super soft fabric and nice color too. Will look to add more as my old shirts wear out.
Perfect fit. Extremely comfortable and lightweight. I have three of these shirts and quality is top notch. Excellent for hot days and cold days (as a layer).
Love this product and fit... I wear these shirts constantly for exercise and work in the field. As a larger chested woman who appreciates roomy tops with lots of movement my only request is for more availability and options for the size XXL! For a while I thought XL was gonna have to be it and I finally tried an XXL and it was perfect! The option i... Read Mores often sold out or not available in certain styles.

I love this shirt. This is the second one I have purchased. It is my go-to shirt for outdoor activities when I know I will be getting wet/sweaty and will be in the sun. I sized up and got a large because I prefer these kinds of shirts to be a little baggier. The large is perfect for me (5 ft 6 in, 145bs). I would definitely purchase again.
I love these shirts in both long and short sleeve versions! Super soft, comfortable, and fast-drying. They are my mountain biking go-to's in hot and cool Arizona weather.
This shirt is one of my favorites! I took it on a hiking trip so it helped save so much space in my luggage. I used it to hike and casual wear. Works wonderfully. Also was able to dry SO FAST in a third world country where I did not have a dryer. Need more!
This was my sixth tshirt I bought in this style.
Sized up to medium from small. It gives me a casual fit without being baggy. Material is awesome. Launders well and looks new every time. I'm 5 ft 1 and 107 pounds.
This shirt is perfect for all outdoor activities in hot weather. It feels light on the skin and keeps me cool on hot days. Great for multi-day backpacking too! After a quick rinse in the river, it dries before you've finished your snack.
I work outside in streams/rivers all day and have come to rely on this shirt throughout the summer (also the trail tank, but that's another review).

Nice shirt. Im not an expert at this since Ive only worn this tee maybe twice? Unfortunately we are having a cool summer along the coast of central/north California. I haven't worn any tees more than about four days all summer.
I have bought 5 of these shirts in different colors. It fits well and I love the native american art style design. It is my favorite and I get many compliments.
This is an awesome tee - light, comfortable. I especially like the new ridge design. Just enough pattern to break up a plain tee. Keep the new colors coming! Appreciate having more variety! I usually wear a large in base layers, and sized up to have a looser fit.
Love these shirts. Cool and light. I have 4 of these in different colors. As long as Patagonia makes new colors, I'll keep buying them. So versatile and I can wear them anywhere.
Obsessed with these shirts! I work in a warehouse in Central Florida and deal with unloading trucks, moving boxes, packing orders, etc. all while dealing with the heat and humidity.

I would like to wear this all day everyday.

This is the fourth capilene shirt I've bought in this style and the satisfaction is never ending. Sized up to a medium for comfort and ease for dancing.

The shirt is cute and comfortable. It breathes well, and fits true to size; for reference, I am 5'3" and about 160 lbs with a curvy figure and I wear a medium well.
I think I have about 10 of these shirts between short and long sleeve shirts. Great for work from home or any outdoor adventure. Just a little nicer than a t-shirt and fits well. The color options and graphics keep me coming back.

Perfect T shirt, but cooler
I mean in the sense of wicking, that is. I have a couple of them and yet theyre always in the wash when I want to wear one. Get a few.
This shirt is so light for warm days. I am 5'3", 120 lbs and the small fits comfortable. I wash it then hang it dry and it looks just like new each time.
I love the sentiment on the back of my shirt. The fabric is light and cool perfect for hot weather or energetic activities. This top is a bit longer than I like but that wasn't a deal breaker.
These are my favorite workout shirts. As someone who spends a lot of time outdoors in Texas, Ive spent decades searching for the coolest, most breathable clothing. This shirt is my favorite. I have both the short and long sleeve versions in numerous colors.
Love these shirts in long and short sleeves! Super soft, wick well, great for aerobic activities where I'm doing a lot of sweating. Use them for mountain biking in cold and warm weather and they are great. Please make more colors with mountain bike-specific graphics!
Love the Capiline I have 2 long sleeve in medium that fit well. This one fits tight in the armholes. Im 55 and weigh 135lb. The medium is tight in armholes and large swims on me. Id like to buy every color but the fit doesnt work

I was looking for a casual shirt and grabbed this one impulsively just before checking out. As soon as I got it, I was afraid the color might wash me out. I tried it on and immediately ordered two more. It is unbelievably soft, comfortable, and flattering. This fabric is awesome! Love that it is not cotton so it will dry quickly.
I love this for days I kayak on the sound. It dries super quick, it's lightweight and I didn't get rub burns from it. I also noticed it kept my skin cool under the sun. Well worth the money!
Whether Im back packing, camping, at work, hiking, or just causally cutex this shirt is a go to! Ive got 2 diff designs, one, medium, and one large. They both fit, but the medium is more of a tight fit-which can be cute! Super breathable, lightweight, and cute.
Holy smokes I wish I would have discovered these years ago- I'd have my closet full by now.

Great for those hot summer or cool fall runs. The material is super soft and drys really well. This has now become my go to running / outdoor activity shirt!
Love this material! Very comfortable and cooling. This shirt runs large. My usual size is small (54, 124lb) and this is pretty baggy on me. I have a capilene cool long sleeve shirt thats about the same fit. If you want a more form fitting shirt Id go with a size down at least.
Why do you not make a Hiking shirt that is not gray? You have climbing shirts and running shirts, but the only hiking shirts you have are gray! Please make a Hiking shirt that has nothing to do with running or climbing and is not gray.
Love these capilene everyday t-shirts. They are light and comfortable - no chafe and breathable. Thank you for the array of colors . I am 5 128 lbs. and wear a medium
I was pleasantly surprised by this shirt. I love the material. It is so comfortable and forgiving on a larger size. I bought the same shirt in multiple colors. Totally worth it!
Very impressed with this shirt. Extremely comfortable and perfect for casual wear or working out. Fit TTS for me. I wear a size large normally and this shirt fit with just the right amount of drape and room to spare.
I love this shirt. I have 3 that I have ordered one size up because I like a looser fit. I wear it for my fitness walk, working out, leisure and as a super comfortable layer under sweaters and sweatshirts when its cool. It is a favorite to tuck into my carryon when I travel.
I have worn this several times for running. I think I like it. It wicks well and is comfortable. Not sure how well it will fight off the permanent-stink tho so jury is still out. The seaweed graphic is awesome.

Purchased one of these shirts last summer because of the sun protection. I now have several more. They are more comfortable than regular t shirts because they wick in hot weather.

Love the color/print (Seek Clarity) , fabric, and fit of this tee! Great for running and casual wear. A little long but at 5'4" that seems to be the case for me with most Patagonia tops. I'm a US 8, 36B bra and the medium fits perfectly.
Love everything about these shirts. The fabric is soft and silky, super comfortable. I wear them mostly to hike. I can wear them several times without having to was them because the fabric wicks away moisture and the shirt doesnt get all sweaty and smelly.

I love using these capilene shirts if Im being active out in the sun or running errands in town. Its comfortable in humid climates, drys fast, and offers great sun protection. Its important to note that it isnt as thin and airy as the capilene lightweight (some might be disappointed that its a bit thicker than expected).

This shirt is light, cool and is great for every day wear, or working out! I tend to use it more for running, and the material is great and moisture wicking. I went with an XS and the fit was perfect, its on the looser side and going down a size worked perfect for me (typically I wear a small).
