Description
Recently, Patagonia learned that certain styles in our popular Capilene® Cool Daily and Tropic Comfort product lines do not meet the 50+ UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) standard we claim for them and also have printed on the Capilene Cool Daily’s neck label. Instead, the products are testing in the range of 17–45 UPF. These products do not present a health or safety concern, as they still provide “good” or “very good” sun protection under international standards and block at least 92% of the sun’s ultraviolet rays. However, the lower UPF range does not meet the 50+ UPF level we advertised, which blocks 97.5% of ultraviolet rays.
Our most versatile performance knit for use on trails or on the water provides UPF sun protection and HeiQ® Fresh durable odor control. Made from 50-100% recycled content, Patagonia tech tees keep you comfortable when you’re working hard in conditions ranging from cool to hot. Fair Trade Certified™ sewn.
Soft, quick-drying and stretchy, our Capilene® Cool Daily is our most versatile performance knit for whatever you have planned. Whether you’re running, climbing or just hanging with friends it dries fast, wicks moisture and stretches, all while providing built-in UPF sun protection and HeiQ® Fresh durable odor control (work out and go out, all in the same clothes). Made of 100% recycled polyester jersey (heathers and cross-dyes have 50% recycled content) Capilene Cool Daily feels light, soft and forgiving on the skin and features a clean design with a put-together look. Details include set-in sleeves for chafe-free comfort and total shoulder mobility, miDori™ bioSoft (a plant seed–based multipurpose fabric softener) to increase wicking speeds and ensure long-term softness, minimal stitching and seaming for maximum comfort and UPF sun protection. The Capilene Cool Daily Shirt is also Fair Trade Certified™ sewn, which means the people who made it earned a premium for their labor.
