Patagonia Men's Long Sleeve Button-Up Sun Stretch Shirt

Most technical, long-sleeved button-up is designed specifically for hot and humid conditions. Made from a stretchy, quick-drying, ultralight recycled nylon/polyester blend, the Sun Stretch features zippered chest pockets that accommodate a passport or fly box. Rolled up sleeves secure with tabs.

Made from an ultralight, quick-drying nylon/polyester blend with mechanical stretch, combines cool-wearing comfort with technical performance for warm-weather fishing. Two vertical-zip chest pockets hold anything you need to access quickly and feature mesh backing for improved ventilation and drainage, plus durable plastic zippers that won't corrode in saltwater. New collar snaps prevent wind flapping and a hidden lens cleaner at the hem wipes away sweat and salt.

Fabric

• 2.3 oz 55% Recycled Nylon/45% Polyester with Mechanical Stretch

Recycled Nylon

• Some of the recycled nylon we use comes from post-industrial waste fiber, yarn collected from a spinning factory and waste from the weaving mills that can be processed into reusable nylon fiber. Another recycled nylon fiber we are experimenting with is re-created from discarded industrial fishing nets

Bluesign Approved Fabric

• Bluesign technologies, based in Switzerland, works at each step in the textile supply chain to approve chemicals, processes, materials and products that are safe for the environment, safe for workers and safe for the end customers
• Textile manufacturers that become bluesign system partners agree at the outset to establish management systems for improving environmental performance in five key areas of the production process: resource productivity, consumer safety, water emissions, air emissions and occupational health and safety. System partners regularly report their progress in energy, water and chemical usage and are subject to on-site audits
• The bluesign system is based on input-stream management. Chemicals are assigned to one of three categories: blue-safe to use; gray-special handling required; and black-forbidden. The bluesign system helps factories properly manage gray chemicals and replace black chemicals with safer alternatives
