The following notice appears on the Patagonia website.
Some of our Capilene Cool Daily and Tropic Comfort styles missed the mark on 50+ UPF.
Here's what you need to know.
We recently discovered that some products in two of our sun protection lines, Capilene Cool Daily and Tropic Comfort - do not meet the 50+ UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating we claimed for them. If you own one of these products, please know: They still offer good to very good UV protection, it's just not as much as advertised.
Our tests confirm a range of 17 to 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 we haven't delivered on our goal to offer you the highest level of sun protection.
We are organizing a voluntary recall of these lines. We've stopped distribution of the affected styles and removed them from sale until we can fix the problem. If you own a product listed below and want to keep it, that's fine. However, if you would now like a refund, we have made it as easy as possible for you to claim one.
Not sure if you have one of these products? Check your style number.
