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.

great hot weather shirt
perfect for running in summer heat
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!
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.

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.
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.
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!
Super wicking!
This shirt is great for hot weather running. It wicks like no other shirt I have ever had.
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.
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.
good stuff
light and compact
soft and comfy
drys fast
highly recommended
TOPS!!!!!!!!!
Not only does it make feel good contributing towards helping our environment, it's also the most comfortable T-shirt I ever worn.
great shirt
Absolutely loves the feel and fit of these shirts. Plus the longer torso was perfect for him.
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.
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.)
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.
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.
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.
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!
well constructed, fitting, airy, easy maintenance
?expensive? but not when the endurance is figured into the equation.. have not found a brand that compares
Great shirt
great moisture wicking and odor control
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!!
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.
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.
love it
same great capilene as always. cool graphic and colors! great for layering or stand alone.
Great workout shirt
This makes a great workout shirt, especially for weight lifting. It allows full ventilation and minimizes sweat retention.
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.
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.
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.
