Fits like old Water Girl cami

Rating:*****
I had previously purchased the undercover cami from both Water Girl (a now defunct Patagonia brand) and regular Patagonia -- this year's cami (by Patagonia) seems like they changed to the old Water Girl fit and I'm extremely pleased. The straps on this cami are set slightly wider apart and have a much better line going over the shoulders -- they don't seem like they were made to be a halter like in the past -- yet they don't dig into your armpits. Do know that they run small -- I take a medium (just like in Water Girl), and I'm a 34 A and wear a small in most brands. Small would work for very slim women or teens. Very supportive, even with the low line across the back (sits just below the shoulder blades).

The Perfect Summer Top

Rating:*****
I love the cut of this tank top, the rounded neckline, the low back, spaghetti straps and colors. It is perfect and comfortable and makes me feel great wearing it. Shelf bra is a bit tight and I am small, but it works. There was a great array of color choices. I think I have bought three of these, maybe four. My only complaint is that the photo shows it as if it is loose across the stomach and it is close fitting. It is not too low cut, so it is appropriate for wearing to work. The fabrics are beautiful.

Patagonia Undercover Cami very comfy

Rating:****

I got the Patagonia Undercover Cami and I am really happy with it. It wicks away sweat well. I got a S and it fits perfect, not too restricting but gives the support I need. I like wearing it under oxfords as well as by itself. Washes easy too - I machine wash and line dry. I wish it was just a touch longer though, it has creeped up a bit sometimes and I have to pull it down, but I know going to a M would be too big.

great workout tanktop

Rating:****
I own four of these tank tops, all from different seasons/years/colors. I backpack, hike, run, practice yoga, and check the surf in these tank tops. They are short however, so I don't wear them with jeans, but I do wear them with cotton skirts. I've worn out the straps on my favorite color and now have to wear a sports bra underneath the tank. I am 6'1, slim and wear a Medium. All in all, the Undercover Cami is my favorite active tank. I hope this helps. Aloha!

Vera Cute top (runs a little bit small)

Rating:****
This top is flattering, the right length (I was never a fan of the very short tops that were in style a couple years ago) and flares just enough to stay in place in the area of my waist and hip bones. The straps stay up. The leaf pattern and ivory colors suits my olive coloring. One thing I'll say is this top seemed to run a little tight around the bust compared to other Patagonia tops of the same size
ClimbingAnnie at Patagonia on 03/14/2009

Great for any occasion!

Rating:*****
Good for dressing up or dressing down. I've worn this as an active top as well as out to dinner. It's very form fitting but doesn't bunch up in weird ways when you're moving around a lot. It does ride up just a little above the waistline, which to me is the only thing making it less than perfect. After buying the first one, I had to go back for more.

What You'd Expect...Mostly

Rating:****
It's a cami. I wear it under stuff or when it is extremely hot out. It wicks pretty well and doesn't hold smells. The one somewhat surprising thing was the excellent support the built-in bra provides. I can get away with wearing this by itself and I'm a 34C. I can't say that about too many other shirts...
Nicole Woltersdorf at Backcountry.com Outlet on 05/04/2009

Easy Wearing

Rating:****
Over the years I have become more and more of a fan of this top-- it is easy to wear, to layer, and the color's stay put when you wash it. It's a flattering neckline without being too low or tugging oddly at your armpits. I have worn it to climb, a lot, and out.
Osito13 at Patagonia on 02/16/2009

LOVE THIS

Rating:*****
I wear this all summer in Michigan, where our summers can be cool or humid and sticky. It gives great support and coverage, I can wear it at yoga and around town. The cotton is smooth and wears well, and I find the fit perfect, without the adjustable straps. A wardrobe basic.
kierka at Patagonia on 09/11/2008

Comfortable, Cute Shirt

Rating:*****
This is a great shirt. It is comfortable and flattering. It's sized a bit on the slim side, especially through the bust. So I ended up ordering one size up from my usual, and it fits perfectly. The fabric wears well in hot weather. I own 4 of these shirts now!

Negative Reviews:

Didn't like fit

Rating:**
I am a big patagonia fan, however very often i find the sizing of many items change for different things I purchase. For example this particular Cami seems very small on top/bra section. I wore it at yoga and found myself having to tuck in my personal belongings, every time I did a downward dog. However I have purchased many other cami's from Patagonia that worked just fine in a small size. I just don't think Patagonia's sizing is always consistent. I am sure it would work fine for someone else with a different bust size.
lara at Patagonia on 09/10/2008

Cute top - too bad it doesn't fit

Rating:**
I usually wear a medium size top, but the medium and large were way too snug in the bust area. The built in shelf bra is very tight. I am a 36-38B bra size - not that big, but too big for this top. Too bad!!

Neutral Reviews:

too short

Rating:***
I love the fabric and prints of the Undercover Cami, but not the styling. It's way too short for me and rides up around my belly button even when I'm sitting at my desk. It needs at least 3 inches added to the total length. I also wish the neckline were a bit more v-shaped than u-shaped and that the straps were a bit closer together. But these are minor quibbles compared to the length. I may have to return this because it's driving me crazy to keep tugging it down. Also, it runs small. I usually take a small in Patagonia tops and XS in jackets, but I needed a medium in this cami.
Seattlite at Patagonia on 12/04/2008

A bit snug...

Rating:***
Normally wear size small in most items at Patagonia, but this season everything has that "slimmer" fit... I went to a size medium, but still had to cut the elastic in the bra... way too tight to breathe! I also think this cami should be about an inch longer than it is... it barely meets the top if your pants...Overall, it's cute ...not expensive, but doesn't meet up to the same quality as Patagonia's other products... I bought three cami's & they all have the same issues.
Iboughtit at Patagonia on 05/29/2009

Can't... get... it... on...

Rating:***
I enjoyed the prints, so I thought I'd give this a try (in xs). I love the active cami with the built in shelf bra- which I wear an xs in, but this looked a little more "earthy". Well, there just isn't enough stretch- especially in the shelf bra area. Getting it on is a battle, but once it's on it looks great! I'm afraid I'm going to rip it, but once it's on, it doesn't look too tight. Weird.
boulderina at Patagonia on 04/24/2009

Could use more coverage

Rating:***
This is a good basic cami that I do wear a good bit. My biggest beef with the top is the lack of adjustable straps, which are a must on any top of this type. Sometimes it feels as if I'm exposing more than I'd like since I can't tighten the straps!
scgirl at Patagonia on 09/09/2008

Too short

Rating:***
Overall this is a great tank top. Straps are comfortable, fit is nice. If it were about 2 inches longer it would be perfect! It's not crazy short, but with certain jeans I'm always pulling it down. I would get the hotline tank instead just because of the length.
atlanta at Patagonia on 03/01/2009

Love it... except...

Rating:***
Love it, except for the fact that one of the straps is sewn on with a twist in it! Oops! I will probably need to send it back for an exchange. But other then that, great top, super fabric and color.
Motomagik at Patagonia on 02/23/2009

More length

Rating:***
I agree--could use at least two more inches in length. I found the size to be fine, though--Im usually a medium in Patagonia tops and that fits fine.
erswims at Patagonia on 12/11/2008

undercover cami

Rating:***
I like these camies, but wish the cut was a little longer. They do not cover your midrift when lifting or stretching.
