Our most technical sun protection yet

Plus, the quest to save 100 waves in Peru.

Patagonia. Capilene Cool Sun. Sun Protection Reimagined.

When you’re stubborn, failure is simply an invitation to try harder. In 2021, we discovered that some of our UPF tech tees weren’t hitting a high enough bar for UV protection. That setback pushed us to raise our own standards. Capilene® Cool Sun is the result.

UPF at the fiber level.

No topical UPF
treatments.

Waffled construction
promotes ultrafast wicking.

Blocks, scatters and reflects 97.5% of UVA and UVB rays—while boosting airflow, and without topical UPF treatments that fade over time.

Capilene® Cool Sun is our fastest-wicking tech tee ever, with sun protection knit right in.
