Stretchy, quick-drying 100% recycled polyester fabric moves athletically, stays cool and looks snazzy in any situation. Made in a Fair Trade Certified factory.Our VerdictPatagonias Long-Sleeved Self-Guided Sun Shirt is one of those shirts that genuinely balances function and comfort on hot, active days. At 197g (size UK 12), its made from 100% recycled polyester with mechanical stretch, offering good freedom of movement and impressively quick drying. The UPF 40 rating is reassuring when you’re in and out of direct sun. I particularly appreciate the open venting across the backit noticeably improves airflow when things heat up. The double-layer collar stands up neatly for extra neck coverage, a welcome feature on bright, windless ridges.As a glasses wearer, I love the integrated lens cleaner stitched into the hemits small, subtle, and useful. The shirt runs on the relaxed side, so you might want to size down if you prefer a closer fit. While its not something Id grab for cooler or high-output conditions, it’s ideal for steady walking, paddling, or staying comfortable while in the sun.- Reviewed by Ultralight Outdoor Gear(Unfortunately, we are unable to ship Patagonia products outside of the European Area (defined as the European Economic Area plus Switzerland and the UK))FeaturesComfortable, lightweight, quick-drying 100% recycled polyester plain weave with 40 UPF sun protection and mechanical stretch for easy movementTwo drop-in chest pockets with button closures keep small essentials nearby for easy accessOpen venting across the back and shoulders increases airflow for cooling comfort in steamy weatherExtended hem stays in place while casting, rowing or hiking to enhance comfort and sun protection, and the shirt won’t bunch or ride up when worn with hip packsDouble-layer collar converts to a stand-up collar for additional sun protection, and hidden snaps at the collar points eliminate flapping in the windIntegrated, intuitively positioned, easy-access lens cleaner is sewn in at the front hem to ensure clean optics without having to search for your lens clothMade in a Fair Trade Certified factory, which means the people who made this product earned a premium for their laborSpecificationsXSmall (UK 08) weighs: 182gSmall (UK 10) weighs: 188gMedium (UK 12) weighs: 197gLarge (UK 14) weighs: 207gMaterial & Construction3.5-oz 100% recycled polyester stretch plain weave with a wicking finish and 40 UPF sun protection.Made in a Fair Trade Certified factoryHelp & advice:Recycled Content in Outdoor GearThe Bluesign System
