Our most versatile baselayer for the broadest range of temperatures, quick-wicking Capilene® 3 has a brushed interior that retains heat and a smooth jersey exterior that provides superior glide for snag-free layering. The slightly fitted silhouette affords a bulk-free fit without compromising mobility. Shoulder and side seams on the tops are thoughtfully placed to reduce friction from a climbing sling, pack or luggage straps. The look is streamlined. Made of quick-wicking, fast-drying and insulative 64% post-consumer recycled (and 100% recyclable) Capilene® 3 polyester, with Gladiodor natural odor control. Imported. 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 Product
I would recommend this for anyone who is looking for a nice base layer, nothing too warm but it is a bit thicker. It is made well, is great for layering. I wear a size 12 and the L was perfect!
Great material for outdoor
Good fit. Keeps me warm and dries very quickly.
cozy baselayer, smaller sizing than capilene 1 & 2
Love the longer cutting as the shirt stays tucked in, and the material is opaque enough to wear on its own around town. I wear Small in long-sleeved Capilene 1 & 2, but had to size up to Medium on this Capilene 3 top as it was too tight (neck and lats).

great material
They are soft and easy to care for. I also used them for cover up over my swimwear for California Beaches.
Great base layer.
Love the fit and the fabric.
Comfy with longer cut
I bought this shirt as a replacement for an older Capilene layer. I was pleasantly surprised with this new shirt's longer cut, enabling it to be tucked in or worn out, without creating the dreaded exposed lower back! The arms are also cut long enough. Cute style and Patagonia quality. Very pleased.
so comfy
I bought 2 of these shirts for my girlfriend and one for my sister. They love it. They feel true to size and seem to "adapt" to the weather, so you can wear it anytime of the year! My sister likes it as much as her smartwool, but the price is half of smartwool.
Perfect for someone active
This shirt is a perfect layer for me to walk briskly in 20 degree weather in Tennessee. I put a wind break over it and that's all that is necessary. The shirt is very light weight and allows freedom of movement. I don't feel weighted down. Worth the price.
Highly recommend the Women's Capilene 3 Crew
Just love my Capilene 3 Crew. I'm a size 4 or 6 and a MED fit
great w/long arms and body for ski pants or PJ's. The
texture is soft and cozy. Capilene was the perfect choice to play in the snow.
Going to buy another one
I love this shirt! It is the best base layer I have ever had. The fit is a tad on the small side but I am usually a medium and the medium fits me fine. Just a little on the form fitting side if anything. I read other reviews that said the shirt was itchy but mine is soft and wonderful!
Capilene give top notch performance
I picked out a Capilene 3 top for my sister. She loves the texture, warmth, color, weight and design. Well worth the money for my sister to be comfortable.
Wonderful Top
I even use them as pajamas. I am glad I purchased them.
comfortable and warm
Feels great. I wore it recently when sledding with my daughter and it kept me nice and toasty - couldn't believe how great it felt. Love it.
Best layer ever
This is a great shirt for layering and pretty enough to wear as a normal top. Very comfy and has a cotton feel to it. It's true to size and the colors are nice.
LONG Sleeves.
Pros: The material is awesome. The color (Pesto - Nile Blue X Dye) is very pretty. Nice longer length will not show back when bending over, but wish it was still an inch or so shorter because it is borderline too long.
Cons: LONG sleeves. I am 5'2" and 118 lbs. (pear shaped, so more weight in bottom and thighs) and got this in a size medium since some reviewers said it was tight. Yes it does have a tighter neck hole & in the shoulders, but once on it seems okay. The body is not as snug as most base layers, but if I go down a size, it might be too tight in the neck. The sleeves are ridiculous and meant for a very tall lanky person.
I measured to hopefully help other short girls out there. It is a little over 30" from shoulder to cuff (this if for size medium). To visualize this, when I have it on, it completely covers my hands down to the finger-tips. I have to fold over the cuffs and it comes out to be about 4 1/4" too long. Since the bottom of the sleeves are rolled/folded up that much, it gives a very sloppy appearance. If I push the sleeves up, they just fall down and also looks sloppy so folding is the only solution (or hemming it myself).
Not a problem under a jacket or on the slopes, but if I wanted to wear this out in public as a stand-alone, it would look too sloppy.
Patagonia, please make this in a more petite version!!!
Great Shirt
Great shirt for the price....bought it for my wife before our trip to Glacier NP. She likes it so much shes been using it to run on cooler days this spring, wearing it casually around town, etc. Good price for a good product
Warm but Lightweight, (runs small on size)
This crew shirt is well-made, comfortable. The fabric is very lightweight but warm. The size runs a bit trim - arm length is fine but I am usually a size 10-12, and comfortable in Larges, but this shirt does run on the close-fitting side. Worth the price!
In between sizes?
Great warm shirt. As far as sizing, if you are debating between a smaller or larger size-- I went smaller (because I am in between small and medium) and found the neck and arms a little snug. I'm hoping as a layer the snug may turn out to be a good thing.
