A supersoft, versatile tee made from the fast-wicking and drying Capilene 1 baselayer fabric.
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 Capileneor wool insulation when the mercury plummets. Made from 100% post-consumer recycled (and 100% recyclable) Capilene 1 polyester, with Gladiodor natural odor control.
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.

Great baselayer
This shirt is an excellent and versatile shirt for both warm weather and cold as a baselayer. It does fit snugly and so I probably won't be wearing it by itself in the summer, but it's great as an undershirt because it wicks so well. Plan to buy more in the near future Altrec customer service has been excellent too!

Great shirt
I love Capilene 1 shirts; I used to wear 'wicking, quick-drying' shirts by some other companies, but I have to say that the Capilene 1 product line outdoes them all. Of course, the higher price may put off some, but in my opinion, it's definitely worth it. You owe it to yourself to try at least one. If you like it, great. If you don't, never get another. I'm the type of person who sweats a lot - whether running, playing sports or doing other exercises. If there is a failure in this shirt, it's that it gets wet (like most other wicking shirts do for me). I guessI have to wait until Patagonia invents one that immediately evaporates sweat. The shirt wears well. Generally, with this kind of shirt (also from other brands), I avoid drying them in the dryer, just in case they lose that original fit. As for that, you're on your own. A truly great product.

Fabulous
I've been wearing these for 7 or 8 yrs & they've always been great. But a few yrs ago they started making these from recycled material, and though green is great, the fabric suffered. This generation is tip top again, the fabric is super soft, silky indeed. Once again the most comfy t-shirt around. fit is slim but not too slim, i'm 5'9", about 155 lbs & the medium fits well with space to move.
