Patagonia - Voluntary Recall - Capilene® Cool Daily and Tropic Comfort UPF Products

Some Capilene® Cool Daily and Tropic Comfort Styles Missed the Mark on 50+ UPF.

Here’s What You Need to Know.
Patagonia recently discovered that some products in two of their sun protection lines—Capilene® Cool Daily and Tropic Comfort—do not meet the 50+ UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating they claimed for them. If you own one of these products, please know: They still offer solid UV protection. It’s just not as much as advertised.

Patagonia's tests confirm a range of 17–45 UPF instead of 50+, averaging 34 UPF. The good news is that even at 17 UPF, the products block 92% of the sun’s ultraviolet rays. The bad news is that they didn’t deliver on their goal to offer you the highest level of sun protection. They’ve pulled their existing inventory and halted distribution of the affected styles until they can fix the problem.
