Patagonia Capilene Cool Sun Hoody vs Tropic Comfort I Why Chris is replacing his well-worn favourite

In this sun hoody review, Chris compares comfort, fit and features after years of wearing the Tropic Comfort for hiking, fishing and bikepacking.

Sun protection is a priority for Chris, and his favourite features include a generous hood that fits over a hat, long sleeves and lightweight thumb loops for extra hand coverage. His Tropic Comfort has served him well, but years of use have left it stained, full of burn holes and stretched out.

Whether you’re comparing Patagonia sun hoodies or looking for a lightweight sun shirt for hiking, fishing, or bikepacking, this video shares Chris’s experience and explains why he chose it.
