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. 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.

Excellent lightweight baselayer
I own an extensive collection of Patagonia's Capiline baselayer garments, from Capilene 1 to 4. I puchased the Capilene 1 T for summer hiking/backpacking, to be worn under my hiking shirt. This is an extremely comfortable and light (but durable) garment. It is excellent for backpacking, due to its light weight and ease of washing. Patagonia also does a great job with odor control, which I have found to be a problem with cheaper products.

Great wear for humidity
Commuted on my bike wearing this shirt on day with record dew point of 82. Moisture transfer was excellent. Dried quickly. Have not worn it for extended periods without washing.

Excellent summer cycling baselayer
I use various weights and sleeve length Capilene garments as base layers year round. This silk weight SS Tee is great under my summer cycling jerseys. The feel on your skin is soft and light like fine silk. It never feels wet even in the 100 degree Texas heat. It dissipates moisture better than anything else I have tried and has some SPF too.

Cap 1 Silkweight
The Capilene 1 Silkweight is an excellent all-around active summer shirt. Super lightweight and very comfortable. I went with size medium at 5'7'', 155 lbs. It fits slightly roomy, but not baggy, perfect for a stand alone summer layer. Or, if you prefer more of a skin-tight, baselayer feel, you could go 1 size smaller than normal.
