Women's Long Sleeve Shirts
Take on cool mornings, summit dawn patrols, and weekend errands in KÜHL women's long sleeve shirts.
Choose from a variety of fabrics, styles, and features for the women's long sleeve shirts that are right for you:
Soft Flannel Comfort. Brushed-face flannels deliver midweight warmth without bulk, making them ideal for shoulder-season layering. A premium fit and curved hem move with you whether you're loading the truck or walking into a meeting. For a more polished take on the same silhouette, see our women's button-down long sleeves.
Performance Baselayer Technology. Technical zip necks and crew necks use moisture-wicking knits with built-in stretch to keep you dry under a shell or moving freely on a run. Body-mapped panels match your form so the fabric stretches where you need it and stays flat where you don't, and a quick-dry face shrugs off effort sweat between climbs.
Merino-Soft Warmth. When the temperature swings, naturally odor-resistant merino wool and merino-blend knits regulate body temperature across long days. Explore the range in our women's merino wool collection for thru-hike, ski-tour, and travel-friendly weights.
Sun-Ready Long Sleeves. UPF 50+ coverage outperforms a short sleeve on a high-exposure day. Look for breathable woven or jersey constructions with quick-dry performance for desert hikes, paddle days, and alpine starts where the sun comes up fast and stays up.
Cozy Pullovers and Cowl Necks. Soft, textured knits with kangaroo handwarmer pockets and oversized cowls round out the lineup for casual gatherings and after-trail layering. Roomy fits let you stack a baselayer underneath without binding through the shoulder.
When picking the right long sleeve, look for signature touches like thumb loops to seal cold out at the cuff, articulated shoulders for an unrestricted reach, and flatlock seams that stay flat under a pack strap. A trim shoulder and a slightly relaxed body make layering easy from a 5 a.m. trailhead to a 5 p.m. patio.

From brushed flannels to UPF 50+ sun shirts and merino knits, KÜHL women's long sleeves cover cool mornings, long trails, and everything between.
What makes the best long sleeve for you?
The best long sleeve checks four boxes: a high-performance fabric that wicks moisture and dries fast, a fit that layers without binding, smart construction that moves with you, and the versatility to cover trail miles and town stops.
Seasoned outdoorswomen know which features matter: moisture-wicking knits, UPF 50+ sun protection, articulated shoulders, and flatlock seams that stay flat under a pack strap. For warm-weather alternatives, compare options in our women's short sleeve collection.

What fabric is best for performance shirts: synthetic, merino, or blend?
It depends on the trip. Synthetic knits dry fastest and resist abrasion under pack straps, making them the strongest pick for high-output days and warm weather. Merino wool regulates body temperature across hot and cold swings and resists odor for multi-day trips with no laundry. Merino-synthetic blends split the difference: the wicking and durability of polyester or nylon with the odor resistance and feel of wool. For desert sprints and peak-bagging days, lean synthetic. For thru-hikes and ski tours, lean merino.
Do you really need a technical shirt, or will a cotton tee do?
For active days, a technical shirt outperforms cotton every time. Cotton absorbs sweat and stays wet, which leaves you cold on a windy ridge and chafes under a pack. Technical fabrics wick moisture to the surface, dry quickly, and keep you regulated through effort and rest cycles. A cotton tee is fine for the porch. On the trail, save it for the drive home.
Can you wear long-sleeve shirts in summer?
Yes. And it's often the smarter call than going short-sleeve. Long sleeves with UPF 50+ shield skin from direct sun better than sunscreen alone, especially on exposed alpine and desert routes. Breathable knits and woven shirts with mesh ventilation move air across your body so you stay cooler than you would burning under bare sleeves. Thumb loops seal coverage to the back of the hand. For technical pieces engineered around movement, see our women's athletic shirts.
How should a long sleeve fit for layering?
A layering-friendly long sleeve fits trim through the shoulder and chest without binding, with enough room through the body to slip a baselayer or fleece underneath. Articulated or raglan shoulder construction keeps the fabric from pulling when you reach overhead. Sleeves should hit at the wrist with the arm extended forward, and a slightly curved hem helps the shirt sit cleanly under a hip belt or under a jacket.
What's the best long sleeve for hot weather hikes?
For hot weather hikes, look for an ultra-breathable woven or jersey construction with UPF 50+, mesh ventilation under the arms, and quick-dry performance. A relaxed chest and back move air across your skin, while flatlock seams prevent chafe under a pack strap. Light colors reflect heat. The trade-off versus a short sleeve is worth making: you get full sun coverage without reapplying sunscreen every two hours.
