Patagonia: Men's Capilene 1 Crew
Description
Stay dry and cool in this silky baselayer ideal for high-exertion, hot-weather pursuits....
Read More...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 Capilene® or 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 Performance®Capilene 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. Learn more

great shirt After burning myself to a crisp scalloping, this was the only shirt I could tolerate for a few days. Worth every penny

phenomenastic Patagonia's Capilene 1 has been lauded by many devoted fans and neophytes alike due to being so technically advanced and cool fit for daily wear. This is a great shirt for when you need a bit more warmth and or coverage than the Capilene T.
One (two)small issues with it: The neck seems snugger than it was on the Capilene Silkweight, and this is something of a problem for me. And, I really wish they would make it in solid dark colors, rather than the two-tones. However, it's such an amazing shirt that you adjust... Highly recommend it for all-weather: wear it by itself or layer it.

Pricey, but nice. I didn't know they made clothes like this for men. I bought them for the upsoming ski season, and have been wearing them pretty much continuosly since. Last weekend made 14 gallons of cider and this weekend dug potaotes and mulched the garden. They stay clean, unwrinkled ... and just feel good. My 11 year old daughter is trying to steal them!

Men's & Women's Capilene crew, longsleeves. I bought one for myself last year and kayaked all summer in it. Kept me cool, dry and protected from the sun. I just purchased another for myself and one for my husband. We both did a kayak race in them last weekend. 85 degrees and muggy. We were just as comfortable as people in tank tops, but WE didn't get sunburned!

best hot weather underlayment I use my Capilene 1 crew under my motorcycling clothing.
It's the only fabric that wicks the moisture away and allows me take off my gear without sticking to my skin during the hot, dog days of summer

Wonderful product This is a wonderful product. The fit is amazing. Even though this is light material it does the job of keeping me warm, and is not itchy.

Breathable / Dynamic This is better than the Capilene 2, in my opinion. Only because it's easier to layer on top... (layers slide on easier) and it's great as a standalone in warmer weather. We just recently had a heat wave of 95 degree weather and I kept nice and cool, while outside, in my white capilene 1 crew.

Warm shirt without the bulk These Capilene shirts are incredibly warm without adding bulk. I wear these under my shirt and the fabric is not abrasive at all. Great buy for an underlayer in those cold wintery conditions.

I do a lot of outdoor running, and this capilene crew provides incredible wicking. I bought one back in '98 and it still looks brand new. The newer version, however, resists odor better than my old one. You will have more than one of these in your closet, I promise you.

I love this shirt! I purchased the Capilene shirt in March for an April run to Lake Tahoe. Great end-of-season snow made for an excellent trip. I wore this shirt alone under my Descente jacket on most days. When we received snow and the temp dropped I put on a Patagonia fleece as a middle layer and was snug as a bug. This shirt since has been worn a lot. The lightweight, silky smooth feel and perfect layer of warmth provided make for one of my most favorite shirts. The wicking ability is perfect for Texas winters which start off in the 40's and are in the 70's after lunch. This shirt keeps me dry and warm without overheating which is all I could ever ask. I highly recommend this shirt. This and and a mid-weight Patagonia along with a fleece and a good shell/jacket and you can mix-and-match for any US skiing. Great shirt and great service and support from Altrec makes for a perfect combo.

Great summer shirt Wearing these shirts outdoors in the summer keeps me cool and prevents sunburn. There are no seams on the shoulders, so nothing digs into you when wearing a pack. I wonder why they didn't do the shoulders on the short sleeve version the same way.

Patagonia Silkweight Crew I have about a dozen capilene silkweight crew shirts, including the newer version. They not only come in great colors, but feel very comfortable and still look great after several washings. They are very stylish shirts, completely opposite of long underwear. I wear them to work out, as they are so comfortable. Highly recomend.
