Patagonia Men's Capilene 2 T Shirt
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 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.

William Phillips - 2009-06-25Great shirt
I have many, many of these. Perfect under scrubs or for running. This shirt initially costs more, but will last forever. Even better, they won't fade or smell bad after a while (i.e., UnderArmour).
Sam - 2009-05-29Perfect size for a lean guy. Great for running, backpacking,
Perfect size for a lean guy. Great for running, backpacking, lifting, travel. Very lightweight, breathable, dries fast.
David A Bell - 2009-05-15Very Nice
Great fit and feel. Actually fits a "fit" person, unlike normal t-shirts built for the masses. Dries quickly.

DNS - 2009-04-28Can't beat it
I now have six of these and may end up picking up a few more for a upcoming hot-weather trip. Prefer the Cap 2 to the Cap 1 even though it's supposed to be slightly warmer, I find it to have a better fit and be more breathable. Shirt wears nothing and is great for packing, is durable enough for such a light fabric, and drys extremely fast. Tailored nicely so it's not baggy but it's not skin-tight either (5'9", 165, Medium). Pick up a few

Light weight comfortable. Great for the heat. Nothing else to say.
ashley mcmillan - 2009-03-25Awsome
Great for around the house of out to the store.Fit is great.
charles brown - 2009-02-09Just what I thought-Perfect!!
Fairly new to the Patagonia line. So far,every purchase has been EXCELLENT. Including this short sleeve Cap 2 shirt. I will be buying more!! One thing I've noticed about Patagonia Cap 2-3 shirts--they run 1 size small. I normally wear a large and with these ex-large fits perfect
Michael Wright - 2009-02-01Always ReliableCapilene
I've been wearing Capiline for the past 15 or so years and continue to find it bullet-proof and very effective at managing moisture. I have incorporated wool into my baselayers, but find that capilene does an overall better job during highly aerobic activities. I use it as my against the skin layer and then sometimes put wool over it as a mid-layer. I'll never give up Capilene and as for the "stink" factor that has pretty much been eliminated with Patagonia's natural odor eliminator. This shirt fits perfect with the raglan sleeves. LOVE IT!!
Rod - 2009-01-06Love It
The fit of this shirt is exactly what I was looking for, not too big/long and not tight fitting like those Under Armour shirts. I'm 5'10", 175lbs and large is great.
runnerNC - 2008-01-01Super!!!
I am impressed. This is the first high dollar shirt i have bought and is well worth it. I love the no odor in the shirt after running. Altrec keep the coupon codes coming!
sl - 2007-10-27excellent - 5 star
This is the best wicking and fastest drying shirt I have ever owned. Also it dries without any odor. Love my short and long sleeve shirts. I wear them every morning for my 5 mile power walk.
Anonymous - 2007-08-15Open weave is a big plus for the Capilene 2 T-Shirt.
You just can't top this T shirt because in addition to the quality and styling that you would expect from Patagonia, this T shirt vents very well, can be used as a layering piece over or under another T shirt (long or short sleeve - capilene 2 from Patagonia), and can be used as a stand alone piece in warm weather for hiking, biking, or just kicking around town. In other words, this piece is versatile, and is a must-have item if you like the outdoors. The sprout-green color is great.
gabi - 2007-08-14Practical
This is a light and warm shirt ideal for trail running or to layer under a fleece jacket. If you are buying it as a cold layer, order your regular size. However, if you want it to fit more as a T then order a size up. Terrific product from a great company--and good deals if you order from altrec.
Peter - 2006-11-23Superb base layer!
One of the primary reasons I bought the new capilene was Patagonia's new anti-odor treatment 'Gladiodor', which uses a treatment derived from chitin, from shellfish shells (cool!). I'm happy to report that this treatment works. In the past couple of months I've used this shirt mainly trail running, but also casually. The funk has been no worse than it would have been with a cotton shirt. This is a huge improvement on previous incarnations of capilene, which developed an exceptionally awful stench in a relatively short time. The fit is slightly formed, not a complete bag, and looks nice. The material is very open weave and breathes exceptionally well, yet still manages to retain some insulative capacity (not much;, the heavier capilenes insulate more, as intended). Very sastisfied with this purchase. Bravo Patagonia!
Anonymous - 2006-09-30the most comfortable t-shirt out there
this is a great shirt. it is comfortable, but also effective against the heat.
mspencer - 2006-09-17great shirt
keeps me cool when hiking or biking on a hot day
Irwin Reimer - 2008-02-12The shirts are very nice.
I originaly purchased three other shirts but the fabric was so light weight that I returned them and purchased two of these shirts. I like them but I was still concerned about the weight. I am 61 years old & not into runing, however I still do cardo work at the health club. It would be great if they made this shirt in a heaver fabric.
Anonymous - 2007-04-09Good Buy
Compared to the old LW Capilene, this is a much better cut with the raglan sleeves but question the durability....haven't put the t through enough wear yet but think the fabric may be a little more fragile than last years.

William Liu - 2007-02-21Nice base layer
I got it in white. As always, excellent construction from Patagonia. It's knitted open, hence the breathability which really helps if the temperature is getting warmer or if you are in high activity. Yet it's insulative enough as to keep you dry and warm in cooler condition, although it's still not too insulative as I would like it to be (I'm quite sensitive to cold). But still it's a nice t-shirt and I like to wear it to office under my office shirt attire. Mind you that Capilene 2/3 seems to be abit tighter than older Caplene lightweight/midweight product lines. But Small size fits me well except on the shoulder areas. Still I like it.
Anonymous - 2006-11-10got it in white, good hot-weather piece
Used it for late summer hiking and distance running into fall. Very comfortable in warmer conditions. Has a nice, light weave. Non-chafing on the long runs.
Anonymous - 2006-09-10great shirt.. great as base layer, even better on a hot day
I wear performance t-shirts all the time as I live in southern california and never wear a jacket... patagonia definitely has the right mix of functionality and style..
