The Patagonia UV Protective Capilene Cool Sun Hoody is designed for outdoor enthusiasts and water sports athletes who require reliable sun protection during long hours of exposure. Its primary benefit is the combination of 40+ UPF sun shielding with high-performance moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabrics that regulate your body temperature. While the technical fabric is exceptionally effective in hot, sunny conditions, users should note that its lightweight construction is specifically optimized for sun protection rather than thermal insulation in cold climates.

No, the UPF protection is a result of the fabric's single-knit construction, meaning it is permanent and will not wash out over time.
While it is designed for water environments and dries quickly, it is primarily intended for sun protection while active, not as a dedicated swimsuit.
The product is designed with a technical fit. If you prefer a looser, more relaxed fit for layering, consider checking the size guide measurements.
No, fabric softeners can leave a residue on the technical fibers that interferes with the wicking and drying performance.
The garment is made from 100% recycled polyester jersey.
Ensure the shirt is not being worn under an non-breathable outer layer; the wicking properties require airflow to evaporate moisture effectively.
Use a specialized fabric shaver or a small needle to gently pull snagged threads back into the weave; avoid cutting the threads.
As this is an apparel item, no assembly is required. To ensure the longevity of the UV-protective, moisture-wicking properties, follow these care guidelines: Machine wash in cold water using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can clog the technical fibers and diminish the wicking performance. Tumble dry on low heat or hang-dry to preserve the material structure. Avoid excessive contact with abrasive surfaces like rough rock or Velcro to prevent snagging the lightweight jersey knit.
