Hi, I really like the silkweight tank! I am muscly with big shoulders, so the tanks fit nicely. They do have race style arm holes which show bra straps though. They also are made too small,I wear XL and if I get back into weight-training, they won't fit!
I have tried the short sleeve silkweight T-shirts on numerous times and they are too snug and the sleeves are too long and bind in the wrong place.

Customer Service

I have been buying Patagonia mens and womens products for 16 years, and have been happy with the merchandise overall.
But I do have big concerns! What upsets me most is the return policy and how they claim just send it back! I used to have no problem sending things back,say when the elastic from a pair of expedition weight underwear lost its zing in one winter or the elastic lost it in their Baggies shorts. They sent me a replacement back pronto or my money back. But recently, they won't take back things I buy. I bought about 8 silkweight capliene shirts in different colors. I only tried them on and didn't like some of the colors on me, so I washed them and returned them. They were in totally perfect condition! They then sent me back the shirts and said they would not refund my money. The next year, I bought a Patagonia R3 mens jacket and discovered a design problem with the pocket design,where the zipper caught on the inside pocket material, preventing the pocket from being unziped. I returned it and they wrote a nasty letter to me to say they prefer me not to do business with them anymore! Can you believe that?
The other complaint I have is that their womens sizes are too small! I need XL to even think about buying their tops! I end up buying unisex.

The ideal hot weather hiking top. The material wicks brilliantly, and never feels damp and clammy however hot you get. It washes and dries easily, and can be put them on almost immediately after washing to dry quickly on the body.

The fabric is highly durable and pill-resistant, and it packs down smaller than a cigarette packet. The cut is airy, but covering enough to wear a bra invisibly underneath. I wore mine almost continually during a recent 2 week trek in Nepal, and also use it regularly as a running top. It still looks good as new.

Obscenely pricey, but perfect for lightweight hot weather backpacking.
