Stay cool and protected in the Sombra Long-Sleeve Sun Shirt, perfect for sunny hikes and travel
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I wore the Sombra Long-Sleeve Sun Shirt on a 5-day desert backpacking trip and barely noticed it was there. It’s light enough to stay cool under full sun but provides all-day UPF protection and dries super fast. The stretch and fit make it great for everything from paddleboarding to hiking."
When the trail heats up or the water calls, we reach for the Cotopaxi Sombra Long-Sleeve Sun Shirt. It’s the kind of top that disappears on the skin but stays in the game when the sun gets intense. Cotopaxi built this shirt for movement—whether we’re trekking ridgelines, paddling lakes, or exploring new coastlines—with airy, breathable fabric that stretches with every reach and step.
Constructed from 100% recycled polyester, the Sombra weighs in at just 101gsm and keeps us cool, dry, and odor-free thanks to its Polygiene® anti-odor and wicking finish. Flatlock seams eliminate chafing during extended wear, while the contrast binding at the sleeves and hood adds a subtle pop of style. Thumbholes enhance coverage when we need it most, and the UPF 50+ protection keeps our skin shielded from the harshest rays.

Both ordered Large. And I’m drowning in them. I usually wear a large but Cotopaxi runs very big.

The Sombra Long-Sleeve Sun shirt
The Sombra Long-Sleeve Sun shirt is a regular go-to sun protection, a must have living in the Southwest. It's a really nice fit, weight and weave for our very sunny days.

Sombra Shirt
I wore this shirt for a long run on a humid sunny morning and I stayed cool and it sits really nicely with the hem at the waist. Washes really well and I love the color

Made for taller people
This shirt is fantastic. It’s very well made, the fabric is very breathable, and definitely protects against the sun. The thumb holes are an added bonus. The only drawback is that it’s very long, the sleeves are very long and it comes down to mid thigh on me. It would be awesome if Cotopaxi offered a petite size for people under 5’3.

Great for the sun
I love the material and how lightweight it is. I’ve found with cotopaxi’s jackets and now shirts that the bottom hem is always so much tighter than the rest of the shirt. It’s almost a size smaller. I ordered the sombra in a bigger size for an oversized fit and it’s tight around the bottom hem so it rides up and looks a little weird.

Love the Fabric
My husband and I both have a couple of these shirts. I loved my first one so much that I got a second one. I can't really explain the fabric. For me, I wore it a couple of times this winter, and it kept me surprisingly warm in the PNW. I am excited to take it on hikes. I am about 5'2", 130 lbs, athletic build. I have a size small and x-small, and both fit pretty well. I usually like my shirts less form-fitting, and even the x-small fits me how I like.
