DESCRIPTION
The Capilene® Cool Sun Hoody provides 40+ UPF sun protection, plus moisture-wicking and fast-drying performance. Single-knit construction generates a naturally sun-protective effect that won’t wash out over time. Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory.
Made with 100% recycled polyester jersey, Capilene® Cool Sun styles are Patagonia's most sun-protective tech tees, designed to manage your body’s microclimate during long, exposed days on the water or in the mountains when you’re working up a sweat. The generous hood with a button closure is engineered to fit over a ball cap and provides additional sun protection.
Sleeves are designed for easier, more athletic arm movement and a better fit and thumb holes at the cuffs provide added sun protection for the backs of hands. One vertical-zip chest pocket with a corrosion-resistant zipper securely keeps small essentials close.

PROVENANCE AND ETHICS
Patagonia was founded by Yvon Chouinard in 1973, the company's roots are in clothing for rock and alpine climbing, but they now produce a diverse mix of apparel targeted towards skiers, snowboarders, surfers and climbers. Patagonia are a world leader in creating ethical, sustainable clothing.
Recycled Polyester: Polyester is a naturally water-repellent material that can withstand the elements. Using polyester fibre made from mechanically recycled plastic bottles reduces CO2 emissions, and Patagonia are working toward eliminating all virgin polyester in their products by 2025.
Fair Trade: Patagonia now use more than 20 Fair Trade factories that specialise in the production of outdoor clothing, paying a premium for every Patagonia item that is made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory. They actively encourage other brands that do business in those factories to join them in the Fair Trade movement, ensuring living wages within the supply chain.
