2021.07.30 Recall: Patagonia - Capilene Cool Daily and Tropic Comfort styles
30 July 2021
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.
