Made of 50% recycled (and 100% recyclable) polyester from Patagonia's Common Threads Recycling Program, with Gladiodornatural odor control. Imported. 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.

Capilene 3 Zip
Patagonia makes some fantastic baselayers in the Capilene 1,2,3 and 4 versions. This is the midweight zip version and is a comfortable shirt to wear, looks good and does a great job of wicking moisture. The zipper is a nice option to vent if you start getting a little warm

Great layer
I purchased this item as a layer for an upcoming Mt Rainier climb. I have taken it out on a few training hikes and it has performed wonderfully. It is very comfortable and does not cause any restrictions to movement in any way. Temperatures have been between 40-50 and after 6 miles with a 50 lbs pack, I still feel completely dry. My only complaint would be that I would like it to be a little more form fitting in the midsection. I am 6'4" 200 lbs and it just hangs from my chest and does not cling to my waist at all. Other than that, this is a great product that performs well.

great!
The best keeps getting better. Warm, comfortable, durable, quality material, and good looking. What more could you ask for? I'm 5'9" ~150 and got the medium at it fits very nicely with a layer below.

Comfortable and functional
These new capilene base layers from Patagonia are a step up from the old ones. Much softer, better feel for casual wear while still just as functional when hiking, biking, etc. I am 6Ft 1" 175 lbs and while Patagonia fleeces and such I normally order medium, with the base layer products(slim fit) I order large and that works fine

nice baselayer
I really like the Capilene 3 Zip Neck it's a perfect midweight baselayer. This is my second one. My other Capilene 3 is the T-Neck. I decided to get the Zip Neck, so i can unzip it to cool down when need be. With the T-Neck you don't have that option. Anyways, I wore it under my MHW Exposure II Parka when it was 35 degrees outside and it kept me totally warm. The fit wasn't like skin tight like the picture depicted on the product page, but it was pretty close. I totally recommend the Capilene 3 Zip Neck as it does the job.
