Cool Shirt for Exercise
Bought Capline 1 T-Shirt for exercising and warm weather hiking / biking. We won't have warm weather for a few months, but loving it for working out. The shirt run a bit smaller than a typical t-shirt. I'm 6' 2", 180 lbs with a slim build. A large is borderline snug, but very comfortable. These shirt weigh almost nothing and breath great. Don't know about durability yet (I'd keep away from loose Velcro hooks) but the build is great and I'm expecting years of good use. Looks sharp also.

Best T there is
Smooth and comfortable, great temperature regulation, dries in a flash. Looks good in the backcountry and in town. The fit is athletic. The best T there is.

Capilene 1 T
I live in the desert and wore the capilene 1 T all summer and was amazed at it's comfort in 100 degrees and above. Great performance and comfort while active,and it's ability to contains odor's make this a winner.It is also an excellent base layer in all climates.
September 25, 2011
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 Baselayer
Patagonia's Capilene 1 T-Shirt is comfortable, well-made and offers great performance. It's incredibly lightweight and really helps wick moisture away from your skin. Overall it's a great choice for a super-light baselayer.
July 28, 2011
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.
July 26, 2011
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.
July 26, 2011
Quality SW shirt
This is a quality silkweight baselayer. I live in Southern California so this shirt actually serves as a top for running when it is hot out. As a running top it does great. It's lightweight, comfortable next to my skin and it wicks moisture to dry quickly and keep me cool. When it is a little chilly out I'll use this under a lightweight shell or long sleeve shirt and it gives me that little extra bit of protection to keep me dry and comfortable. The fit on this shirt is very close to the body as a baselayer should be. It's no secret that Patagonia is one of the best brands out there and this shirt lives up to its name. So far my shirt is holding up very well. I follow the laundry instructions and I let mine air dry so I have had no problems with my shirt. If you want a comfortable baselayer that keeps you dry this is a good choice.

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.
July 24, 2011
I have worn Capilene 1 t-shirts for years. They are definitely built to last. The 2 shirts that I just received are the same size as all my others but they fit much tighter. I didn't get the stretch version but I guess the regular ones are now a performance fit. I am returning these and ordering the next largest size. I don't need tight fitting shirts for hiking in the hot desert heat.
July 22, 2011
best workout shirt
I use this shirt for gym workouts. It keeps me cool when I start to sweat, but does not get drenched in the process. The big plus is I don't smell horrible after my workout like some other workout clothing I have tried. The fit was athletic, not skin tight. The material was also very breathable. Buy this shirt, a little expensive, but worth it.
July 13, 2011
Great T
This is a fantastic moisture wicking t-shirt that excels when trail running or riding a bicycle. It is comfortable and has an athletic fit that isn't binding and allows range of motion. Fabric is soft and feels good against your skin.

Upsize and it's a great every day shirt.
I'm not really sure who walks around wearing a skin tight base layer in warmer weather (i could understand layered in the cold temps) but what do i know.
If you go up one size this turns out to be a great workout, hiking, around the yard shirt. Unlike other satin/polyester type shirts I've owned it doesn't cling. So you tend to forget you're wearing anything other than cotton until you start sweating....then it's your best friend.
The length is great, even when lifting over your head the shirt stays where it belongs. Kudos on the design!
Got mine on sale, will snag more next time they are marked down. As great is it's been, not sure i could justify close to $40 for a shirt sleeve t-shirt.
May 10, 2011
these are just so good
the capilene t shirts are great. the material is smooth next to the skin. they wick well. i have 4 of them & wear them all the time. they just don't wear out. the fit is true to size.

I Love You, Patagonia-- But...
Your sizing continues to frustrate. The new 2011 version of this shirt is quite different from 2010. I easily took a medium in '10, have to move up to large for '11. I'm still 5'9", 155 & the actual size is smaller-- including the sleeves. The fit seems to be pretty much the same.
That said, the fabric is indeed better this year, lighter & softer. So long as one gets the sizing correct, this is still the best shirt available.

Versitile shirt!
This ia a great shirt for any season. I wear it as a base layer in the winter and as a T-shirt in the summer. It is light weight and extreemly comfortable. They breath extremly well in hot weather. They also dry quickly when wet. I especially like how compact they pack for travel. I have various colors that I use in my travel wardrobe. This is another quality Patagonia product.

Best Multipurpose Top
The Capilene 1 T is the most useful top I own. I use them for running, yoga, weight training, hiking and general wear when it's really hot outside. They keep you very cool and dry. Drape and fit is good, they wick very well and are super durable. I buy the next size up to have a looser fit for my activities. I'm 5'11" and the large fits me perfectly and still allows me to use this as a base layer also. Best of all they are still made in the USA!
November 4, 2010
excellent hiking shirt
I bought two of these shirts for a hiking trip. They sure exceeded my expectations. They are super comfortable and wick and dry really quickly. They do not pill and snag like other drifit shirts I have bought. They are easy to wash and dry really quickly when you need to wash them when you are traveling. I liked them so well I bought several more when I got home.
October 7, 2010
Great base-layer shirt
Would highly recomend as either a base layer shirt in the cold or a shirt to wear in the summer. The shirt is very comfortable.
October 4, 2010
Very Light and Comfortable
Great tempereature regulator.
I wear it under a Merino Bike Jersey.
I mean what the point of having a Merino Wolls (Betasso) jersey if you put a plastic shirt under it.
The Patagonia wool is King!
September 26, 2010
capilene material
patagonia has a winner in the capilene material. the weave does not snag easily like similar material and does not pill.

The Next Generation of T Shirt
Its the 21st century. Why wouldn't you ditch the cotton T's your dad wears, and get undershirts that are more durable, stay white, wick moisture, dry fast, and suppress odor?
June 23, 2010
Fabulous T!
This shirt looks and feels great! I bought the first one then bought a second and I will likely buy more!
May 15, 2010
Gold Standard
The Patagonia Capilene1 Top is truly the staple shirt in my everyday arsenal.I wear them as undershirts as well as on the trail.Never wear out always look great.
May 3, 2010
Awesome
Excellent T shirt as a baselayer or by itself, surprisingly sturdy!!
April 20, 2010
Do not wear out and look like new after 10 years.
Bought Capilene T shirts 10 years ago and wear them a lot. They do not wear out and any dirt or food spills wash out.
April 6, 2010
Everyone Needs One
I don't know how I could get through a summer without this T Shirt. There is simply nothing better at wicking perspiration than this Capilene 1 "T". I have them in many colors but probably like white the best as I can wear it with my work/dress clothes. It's warmer than a cotton T shirt, & cooler than a cotton T shirt. How? I really don't know, but this shirt is absolutely magical.

Versatile shirt for warm or cool weather
Great shirt for walking the beaches of Maui or as an under-layer when skiing the slopes of Mammoth; Silky soft and top layers glide over it. I even wear the Capilene 1 under dress shirts at the office or wool sweaters during leisure activities. Increment improvement of natural odor control is appreciated for those long warm days during the summer.
March 11, 2010
The best active t-shirt
These t-shirt's are expensive, but when they closeout a particular color, you can get a very good deal. If you often use wicking t-shirt's they are definitely worth it. I also use the running shirts from Addidas and Columbia's Titanium line, and the Patagonia shirts are slightly better. The Capilene 1 is very, very lightweight and therefore dries very quickly. They also have a reasonably snug fit, which looks very nice. These shirts are ideal for high-output exercise activities.
March 2, 2010
Great combination of comfort and function.
I have several of these and enjoy the silky feel of the fabric, function for hiking, and durability. Use these year round.
February 21, 2010
I always love this T-shirt
Although it is pricey, it really works well and I do recommend this.
February 18, 2010
THE ONLY UNDERSHIRT MY MEN WILL WEAR
DESPITE THE EXPENSE, MY 2 SONS AND MY HUSBAND WEAR Patagonia Men's Capilene 1 T Shirt AS THEIR UNDERSHIRTS DAILY. They like the way they feel next to their skin and the way they wick-away perspiration so they can appear cool at a summer wedding, an important job interview, etc.
January 29, 2010
Great Feel!
One of the best shirts I've bought for outdoors, fresh feeling, non-restrictive. Fantastic buy.
January 27, 2010
nice t shirt
Nice t shirt, a little light weight. I might get the capilene 2 t next time.
January 1, 2010
Men's Capilene T-Shirt
The Capilene performed well and surpassed the performance of cotton. I would recommend this product to all.
December 20, 2009
great shirt worth the price
These shirts are very stylish and keep you cool when your warm and keep you warm when your cool nuff said
November 17, 2009
Great shirt
Love the shirts, great fit, wear them all the time. Whether I'm working out or just knocking around. Bought two, I'll probably put a few mor on my Christmas list.
November 9, 2009
Love these shirts !
I wear these Capilene shirts everyday and the capilene 1 bottoms to bed every night. Altrec shipped these fast too.
October 27, 2009
Simply the best out there
Wore these throughout the Summer and while running a marathon.
October 11, 2009
great
great lightweight shirt for hot weather
September 14, 2009
Excellent base layer
The quality is great, and the fit is perfect. I actually use these under my shirt and tie at work. They stay dry and comfortable all day long, as opposed to old-fashioned cotton tshirts. My only concerns have to do with all synthetic gear, in that you better be careful around the campfire.
August 28, 2009
Durable and versatile basic tee
I bought several of these silk-weight tees for some desert camping, and they proved very useful. They are cool on the skin and dry quickly. In the pack, they take up no space at all. Definitely high-performance and high-quality. A few go a long way. (Just don't lose em: they cost!)
August 24, 2009
I will buy more
Comfortable, quick drying, and not stinky (yet).
August 24, 2009
excellent shirt for gym workouts
I've also purchased Columbia shirts; I like them too, but the Patagonia is superior. I'll never wear cotton for workouts again.
August 14, 2009
There's nothing more comfortable and practical than Capilene 1
Capilene 1 is lightweight, comfortable, and great for all activities especially when traveling light. It washes and wears well; quick-dry feature is awesome for travel.
August 11, 2009
GREAT T SHIRTS
I love the Capilene 1 shirts, so much that i sleep in them. They are very durable and work fantastic as a base layer or in hot weather as a t.
July 27, 2009
great hot weather shirt
perfect for running in summer heat
June 26, 2009
THE best all around sport use T shirt I've ever used!
I/we've been using the Patagonia #1 silkweight T's for as long as I can remember. It is the ONLY T that has held up to ten years of kayaking, the use of any and all gear with potentially abrasive straps or velcro, all kinds of backpacks, life jackets, rifle slings, and just about anything else I have had to carry over the years. Never had a thread pull on any of the shirts, unlike other top name brands. Add the Patagonia Houdini jacket, and you are set for just about anything!
June 24, 2009
More comfortable than cotton
I have three, and I'll be ordering more to make sure I don't have to run in anything else. The white one is great as an undershirt with casual work clothing too.
June 16, 2009
pricey, but they work
I wear these to the gym, while running, and outrigger paddling. They're great, the fabric doesn't pill up, after a dozen washings they still look new, no fading, and best of all they don't hold a lot of moisture while exercising like a lot of synthetic fabrics do. I've tried less expensive substitutes, but they just don't work as well. Never thought I'd pay $36 for a T shirt though.
May 14, 2009
Can't be beat
The fit and comfort of this shirt is a no-brainer. I didn't realize it had odor protection until I realized (after wearing it 3 times) it didn't smell. Nice bonus.
October 6, 2008
Love the feel!
I have tried other brands, but this is my favorite. Purchased primarily for hiking, but use it all the time. Great material!
June 16, 2008
Super wicking!
This shirt is great for hot weather running. It wicks like no other shirt I have ever had.
June 3, 2008
best you can own
I used to work for patagonia in Sydney and got 3 of these silkweight capiline tshirts for staff clothing...11years ago! Look like i bought them yesterday. I think they are alien shirts for lasting so long and i play hard all over the world from outback to NZ mountains, harsh sun on the sea in the islands, to N & S America. Best shirt in the universe.
April 30, 2008
Good wicking layer
Purchased for use in Florida as a walk/run shirt. Has been great at wicking moisture and keeping as comfortable as possible for Florida.
April 14, 2008
good stuff
light and compact soft and comfy drys fast highly recommended
April 10, 2008
Black even good in sun!
I've worn the black t shirt in the Hawaiian sun and have had no problem. It keeps you dry and cool like it says and I consider myself to sweat easily. I'm 5'7", 175 lbs and a large fits just right and may even be a little on the looser/bigger side. Light silky feel without feeling like plastic next to your skin.
March 28, 2008
TOPS!!!!!!!!!
Not only does it make feel good contributing towards helping our environment, it's also the most comfortable T-shirt I ever worn.
December 29, 2007
great shirt
Absolutely loves the feel and fit of these shirts. Plus the longer torso was perfect for him.
December 25, 2007
Super Light and Full Length
I love this shirt, its incredibly light and fits very well. One big detail I love is that it is relatively long and fits well on someone with a long torso or helps cover your backside while riding a bike.
December 19, 2007
Great Shirt
Patagonia's capilene 1 feels lighter and silkier than its predecessor silkweight. The neck is thinner, (and tighter fitting),drapes nicely, and it's a slimmer fitting shirt than the silkweight. I have not yet had a chance to observe the Odorguard in action. The black and utility blue are a must for this piece. It's multifuncional due to the fact that is able to keep you warm or cool. Wicking action is really good. Great regulator gear. (Own personal preference: the looser fitting neck on the silkweight design feels more comfortable around the neck.)
November 27, 2007
LOVE TO WEAR IT EVERYDAY
IT'S SOFT AS A SILKY T-SHIRT BUT COOL-LOOKING AS A SPORT SHIRT. SINCE I PURCHASED 2 SHIRTS I JUST LEFT ALL OTHER T-SHIRTS IN MY CLOSET AND WEAR THIS T- SHIRT EVERYDAY.
October 30, 2007
nice
Like many of the reviewers, I think this is a terrific shirt. Very lightweight, nicely sized and drapes well. Dries quickly and dosnt smell like other polyster shirts after a workout.
September 10, 2007
4 out of 5 stars because nothing's ever perfect
Great shirt. I have a MHW Wicked Tee which is nice but does not feel as nice against the skin as Patagonia's capilene. I'm 5'10" and lean; I wear a medium in the body but my arm length usually requires the extra length of a large, so I'm usually in no mans land when I buy gear. Got a medium long sleeve and short sleeve and both fit very well in the body and sleeve length. I love wearing this on fishing trips as well as backpacking excursions; it stands up to it's descriptions. But I also love the days I get to wear this shirt to work. Wish the majority of my waredrobe was made of this. I'm a photojournalist and I'm always on the move if not crawling on my belly looking for the best angle. When I'm in this shirt I feel I can sweat and get dirty and still look work appropriate. I do wish that they would make a capilene version of the double-breasted three-piece suit because I want to be cool not mention well wicked when formal occasions arise.
August 29, 2007
Comfortable (good seams) and stylish
This shirt is a good value. It is comfortable and very good at wicking moisture away from the body. It cleaned up nicely in a lake after a day of hard sweat and was quickly dry and ready for another day.
August 26, 2007
Great versatile shirt
Looks good enough to wear around town as casual wear..terrific outdoor shirt for unpredictable weather..excellent base layer, or you can take top layer off and have Capilene 1 wick away perspiration as you hit the trail, on foot, bike, skis, whatever. As a cold weather base layer, I prefer the long sleeve version. you'll love either one!
August 20, 2007
well constructed, fitting, airy, easy maintenance
?expensive? but not when the endurance is figured into the equation.. have not found a brand that compares
June 19, 2007
Great shirt
great moisture wicking and odor control
June 4, 2007
Capilene T Shirt - Fantastic
I umpire several nights a week - sometimes in hot humid weather - and have not found a T Shirt better than this to wisk away the moisture. I would recommend it to anyone!!
June 2, 2007
Best technical shirt I've used
This shirt is amazing! I felt bone dry in it all day, no matter how hard I was working.
February 18, 2007
As always, the shirt to beat
I've worn Patagonia Capilene skiing, biking, hiking, around town, etc. Simply the best synthetic layering option out there. The newest Capilene 1 is an improvement, nice graphics and a bit longer to tuck in better.
January 24, 2007
love it
same great capilene as always. cool graphic and colors! great for layering or stand alone.
January 5, 2007
Great workout shirt
This makes a great workout shirt, especially for weight lifting. It allows full ventilation and minimizes sweat retention.
December 18, 2006
Good update
Updated with environmentally friendly odor protection. Cut longer than previous versions, and seems to be just a tad tighter through the chest and shoulders. Still my favorite shirt.
