cap 3 by patagonia midweight bottoms
Temps are starting to drop in the evening and mornings as we approach fall in michigan, just wore these bottoms for the first time fly fishing for salmon in the betsie river in northwest michigan. I have them in xxl. I am 6' tall, weigh 255 lbs with a 40 inch waist. They fit extremely well under my bootfoot waders. The bottoms provide warmth and moisture control when you need it. For example, early morning fishing required half mile walk to the river with changes in grade. never felt overheated walking with the waders on and once in the water had the warmth needed for being comfortable. I think they did an excellent job on the seams and the waistband, providing the strength and durability you want but without sacrificing comfort. Patagonia does such a great job with the capilene line and they keep finding ways to make it better.

Warm and toasty
These are a great pair of long underwear, Patagonia's capilene fabric feels great against the skin, these work well under ski pants for temps around 20+, anything lower would require some extra layering. Love em!

Best baselayer I owned. it 's much better than old version Capilene 3 bottom. It could provide me much warm , moreover, it's very breathable.The reason is that its material is different from old version. This new version is more quick dry. I feel very comfy with it. But it 's a little larger than old one.

Warmest
I've had a lot of different mid weight bottoms, and this particular model of Patagonia is by far the warmest of all. It fits just right, and extremely comfortable. I used them in my recent trip to Tahoe and was well impressed.

Nice Performance!
Purchased these for winter trail running and hiking. So far they are working out very well. Nice and warm and the build quality is high. I have a 32" waist and I'm 6' 1" tall. I purchased a medium size and the fit is a little snug and the inseam is on the short side. I wish these came in a tall size. Otherwise, a great performance layer!
