I bought this product to put under the Marmot Super Hero Jacket for snowshoeing. I'm 5'9" weigh 175 and wear a 41" suit jacket. The medium fits me great. I like the high ne…

This certainly is one of the best! I brought my cap 3 zip neck with me on the JMT as my baselayer! It was great. It kept me warm and was still very breathable. I really ha…

I have multiple capilene half zips that wear to work as well hiking. There's lot of different weights of capilene, so check out a couple versions. I like the lighter capilen…

I've been using this as my main baselayer. My normal set-up is this Cap 2, then an Arcteryx Strato jacket then a shell. This is for skiing and riding and snowshoeing in temps…

I have read the reviews of Patagonia base-layers and saw the great price on Moosejaw so I thought I would give it a shot. I did not realize how ridiculous I had been waiting…

I am a big fan of Cap 3s as my go to base layer in cold conditions. Also great just around the house on its own during winter. I normally wear XL (6'1"/200lbs) but this one…

I wear my Capilene 2's everywhere! Both the tops and bottoms! They are the near perfect base layer. The only gripe I have against them is the infamous synthetic stink, but thi…

Sadly, like other retailers, Patagonia appears to be sizing up for fat Americans. I am 5'6" (36C) and I now wear an XS; I should not wear an XS. I have 2 of these shirts, bo…

Nota bene: Merino is costly and demands an investment, so I bought the Merino 2 on a ridiculous sale. That said, if you're willing to pay up, this will pay off. The merino/pol…

This is my 4th icebreaker shirt and it certainly hasn't let me down. A comfy slim but not quite spandex fit that goes well under everything from dress shirts to ski parkas.…

If I could own enough pairs of these to wear from November to March and only do laundry once a week, I would be elated. First, they fit well. While they fit snugly, they are…

The Patagonia Capilene 3 collection is the best base layer I have seen. I spent the summer working outdoors and backpacking and this was my go-to layer for nighttime and durin…

It was my first Icebreaker garment. They advertise on the odor free characteristic of merino wool, but I wanted to know by myself. I wore it for 2 weeks day and night... and b…

when you first look at this shirt it is surprising because you can see through it (unlike the capilene 3 shirt) which made me wonder how it could possibly be warmer than that…

I love this shirt and the graphics, it is the lighter Capilene so it breathes even better but the fricken collar is fixed so it doesn't stretch at all, what the crap were they…

I run in this shirt all the time. It breathes well and is the perfect summer shirt for those 100+ days in the Texas summer. I highly recommend this shirt to anyone who lives i…
