Warm base layer
December 26, 2012
I love this as a base layer for skiing in the teens and twenties. It doesn't itch like some wools and is much better at regulating body temperature over capilene. I love the thumb holes for keeping the sleeves up in a jacket and the zipper for allowing me to cool down if I get to hot. I definitely would buy more of these when mine finally gives, which won't be for a long time.

Thin and extra warm
January 19, 2013
The mid weight shirt is just right for high activity in a cold climate. Light weight, with raglan style sleeves that allow ease of motion, sleeves long enough to cover my 35" arms and very warm. I am 5'10" and weight 167 and the shirt allows just enough room for a base layer on extra cold days, without becoming too tight. Very happy.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, PerformanceAlready own the Patagonia Merino 3 Midweight Zip-Neck? Tell us your thoughts.
Heavy
February 16, 2012
I recently started switching out all of my Capilene for Merino due to the fact that apparently I am smellier than the average bear and synthetic base layers are rancid after a few days. The anti funk properties and the fact that it retains warmth when wet got me thinking I should make the switch. Upon receiving this top I was astounded at how much heavier it is, an XL is something like 13.2 ounces compared to the 8.8 of the Capilene 3 Zip Top Mens XL. I contacted Patagonia to inquire as to whether or not the Merino 3 would offer more warmth per weight than the Capilene 3 and I was told that yes the Merino 3 offers a better warmth to weight ratio. That being said I have not had an opportunity to test them side by side in frigid conditions but I look forward to it. Quality is what I have come to expect from Patagonia which is rock solid. A great product in hand and on the books, performance yet to be tested in real world conditions.
