The open, highly breathable knit and feathery weight of Capilene 2 affords unhindered airflow, excellent wicking for endurance activities in warm to moderate temperatures--it's also our fastest-drying Capilene. Because of its low-bulk design and streamlined fit, Capilene 2 also acts an excellent layering piece beneath Capilene 3 or 4 during colder weather. The curvilinear construction provides an updated, fast-forward fit, with seams that won't chafe under a pack or climbing sling. Made of quick-wicking, fast-drying 54% post-consumer recycled (and 100% recyclable) Capilene 2 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.

Customer Reviews for the Zip Neck Patagonia Women's Capilene 2

Katharine - November 29, 2009

Perfect midweight layer
I bought this top for running because all my long underwear is over ten years old and I wanted something lightweight but not too thin. The sleeves are a little long, but the color is great and the zipper goes down far enough to allow ventilation while you're exercising.

Love it!
Wonderful flattering fit, great colors! Nice lightweight layer. The deep zip allows you to let heat out or keep it in.

A great layer!
Instead of an itchy sweater, this lightweight insulation layer is fabulous for fall biking trips along the river. It breathes, but keeps me insulated, without the heaviness of a bulkier piece. I've also used it for the beginning of yoga class, before I'm warmed up, and on the bike ride home from the gym. I expect to use it as an underlayer as the weather gets colder. Go for it!
