Lightweight sun protection and quick-drying comfort with the Capilene Cool Daily Hoodie
"I use this hoodie year-round for hikes, travel, and long days outside. It’s soft, breathable, and dries super fast. The hood is low profile and fits comfortably even when I’m wearing a hat. Just a solid, do-it-all layer."
From shaded trails to long travel days, the Patagonia Capilene Cool Daily Hoodie is built to keep us comfortable through changing conditions and active movement. Its lightweight fabric dries quickly and stretches easily, making it a go-to for outdoor activities or daily wear.
The smooth face fabric feels great against skin, while the fixed hood adds a bit of extra coverage when we need it. HeiQ® Fresh Tech helps keep odors at bay on long days out, and the pullover design layers easily under a shell or packs down when we’re moving fast.

Exactly what I needed

- Medium
I live at high elevation in Colorado and hike and backpack in the mountains above treeline where the sun is intense. I have several Capilene Cool short and long sleeve Ts but needed the hoody. I love how I can bunch the hood around my neck when the temp drops or cover my head to protect from sun and wind. So happy with this lightweight fabric and lovely color.

These hoodies are not too boxy or too fitted. And, they are light but not too sheer. I wear them hiking in the desert or layer them under a vest on a chilly spring or fall day. The fabric is soft and wears well but if you like an ultra sheer fabric, this may not be the hoodie for you. The Wetland Blue color is gorgeous (much better in person)

Love my Hoodies!

Bought two Patagonia capilene hoodies to wear while hiking in the hot New Mexico sun. They are so lightweight and keep me cool and protected in the burning hot sun. I am small framed , 5.5 and weigh around 120 and the small fits fine

This was perfect for a super sunny river rafting trip. My only suggested improvement would be a small zipper pocket to store my chapstick!

Nice quality shirt, bit too heavyweight

I bought the shirt midway through the PCT to replace my Crater Lake Sun hoodie that started to wear thin after 3 months. This was a great option at first glance. Good quality, well made. However it was twice the weight and thickness of the Crater Lake And I was disappointed that there were no thumb holes to cover hands on the trail. The fit was true to size, it was nice because it didn't have any drawstrings or pockets to get in the way of the hip belt on my pack. I did return it though because it was just too thick and warm for summer hiking. Might be a good option for fall or early spring.

Perfect for the Camino de Santiago!

I love the Patagonia Capilene Cool Daily Hoodie. I bought my first for the Camino de Santiago and fell in love with it. I recently purchased my second through Backcountry where I found a great deal and a gorgeous color - Wispy Green. The hoodie is very light weight and while it's perfect for sun protection on warm days, it's also great for layering on cooler days. It also looks nice for traveling and walking around town. It's one of my go-to shirts!

This is everything that I've been looking for in a sun hoodie. It is impossibly thin which is perfect for me because I want to wear it in the summer when the sun is strong for UV protection. I'm actually not sure how effective it is when it comes to UV protection so I still apply sunscreen on underneath. But I do love how breathable the fabric is and how soft it feels. I've worn it all day outdoor rock climbing in the high 80Fs, on a challenging 8mi hike around 80F (pictured below), and just for running errands. The best part is I got this when it was on sale and it was such a steal! I'm usually in between a small and medium and I got a medium in Pumice (oatmeal color). My only complaint is that there are no thumbholes but that's just me nitpicking.

I have four of these Patagonia hoodies: Gray, green, coral, and blue. They are just the right outfit for warm weather, when I am out and about in the sun. When it's windy I just put up the hood.

I'm a big fan of this hoodie! Its really lightweight and feels cool in hot weather. The size Small fits me perfectly (I'm usually a Small/4 at 5'3" and an athletic 130 lbs). I plan on hiking in this, and layering it with a short sleeve tech t and a lightweight vest as the weather gets cooler!
