Silky-soft Capilene 1 is the lightest of all our technical baselayers. A master at managing moisture to keep you cool during active use in warm to sweltering conditions, it also helps protect from the sun and acts as an excellent quick-wicking baselayer beneath heftier Capilene or wool insulation when the mercury plummets. Made from 100% post-consumer recycled (and 100% recyclable) Capilene 1 polyester, with Gladiodor natural odor control. Made in USA. Common Threads Recycling ProgramResearch shows that the environmental impact of recycling worn-out Capilene base layers into new polyester fiber is significantly lower than making that same fiber from virgin materials. Taking into account that worn-out garments are diverted from trash incinerators, making new polyester fiber from recycled garments results in an energy savings of 76% and a CO2 emissions [greenhouse gasses] reduction of 71%, versus creating that fiber from new raw material. Capilene Core PerformanceCapilene base layers afford quick-drying, next-to-skin moisture management for all activities in all conditions ? from high-altitude bivies to sun-soaked water sports.

Patagonia never fails me
I hesitated to buy these but I thought they might be good to wear under work clothes in moderate conditions. They are extremely thin and don't provide a ton of insulation - but that's the point. I wore them through a cold rainstorm under Patagonia Rock Guide pants and it was a perfect combination to keep me cool and dry. The problem with 'trying' Patagonia stuff is that I never end up sending it back!

Capilene 1
Excellent Patagonia product, fits a bit loose, but that may make them more comfortable for most people

Great product - I will purchase again.
These have a great fit and feel. The perfect base layer for cool weather hiking, but I plan to use them for sleeping.

Awsome
Patagonia Men's Capilene 1 Bottom is the best base layer for cool to warm weather. It will keep you warm in the early morning and keep you dry as you warm up through the day. Capilene 1 can be worn alone or doubled up on really cold spring mornings.
