Capilene 3 baselayer
I pull this baselayer out on days when I know it's going to be cold. At first the fabric feels a little strange but you grow to appreciate the functionality you get out of it. Additionally, if you are between sizes, as with most other Patagonia clothes, size up.

Great base layer
Great product...warm enough on cold days and not too warm on warmer days. Wicks moisture away so you stay dry. The perfect base layer for any winter day.

Outdoor work-cap is great!
I work outdoors for a living-the ability to layer is important-this layer is not bulky, breathes well, and is toasty. Alone the capilene 3 is altogether toasty also. Excellent choice for those who have to deal with the climate.....

Great Base Layer
This top is not as heavy as I feared it might be. The one from last season fits snug (I think the 2010-2011 is different and improved). The one I ordered was WAY smaller than normal and I had to exchange it. Plus the fabric doesn't give or feel as soft ast the newer version. Still it was a great value and I'm enjoying it so far.

Great All Around Cool Weather Top
I wear this top for my winter equestrian activities, a stand alone piece which functions just as well as a baselayer. Keeps me warm but wicks moisture away as I exercise. Nice looking, fits well.

way too small
I checked the size chart and ordered appropriately and I could barely get this shirt on! Way too tight in shoulders and chest.

Great
This top is super warm, comfortable, light and totally not itchy. The cut is feminine and pretty enough to wear as a regular top to work, dinner, etc. Highly recommend.

Great Layering Top
I love this Capilene top. The fit is very trim and flattering. And it makes a wonderful baselayer for very cold or damp days. Alone the crew neck makes a great looking top over shorts, pants or jeans.

Excellent baselayer but not for extreme cold
I love all things Patagonia and I stand by their trusty baselayers. However, I recently took this on a winter trip to Europe and unfortunately there was an extreme cold snap (about 0 to -5 F) and it was not enough even with multiple layers. Although I think only a heavy down jacket would have kept me warm.

Year-round Staple
My boyfriend and I both love Capilene 3 baselayers--both the tops and bottoms. They insulate well in a range of temperatures, are very packable and the zip neck is especially easy to throw on and off. These have become year-round staples in our active wardrobes, whether it be as baselayer in the colder months or stand alone as it gets more mild. The best part is that they look great for apres as well!

Liked it so much
I liked it sooo much that I'm ordering another, its nice.

Excellent layer for cold days
I swear by Patagonia capilene-it is the perfect base layer for those days when the wind is present-it definitely takes the chill out the air! All I could ask in addition to this is that there were more colors to choose from!

Not enough stretch
I tried the Capilene 3 Crew and although it fit ok, the lack of stretch made it feel too constricting. It wasn't skin tight, but it didn't move with me. It was also hard to get over my head since the neck didn't stretch. I'll stick with my Capilene 4 zip neck.

Layer it or wear alone
Comfy, quality fabric & great long length, slimming on me. Sleeves are long, but I just push them up so they sit nicely above my hands & look good. I'm a 12 and bought my usual large. It's a bit snug in the arms.. not a problem except for sleeping. If you're between sizes go larger. I wear it out as a shirt & also sometimes under my cap 3 zip neck with the zipper open. Looks terrific & keeps me doubly warm. These dry fast & don't chill me when I sweat. I love my capilene!

Perfect layering tee
I work outdoors and the capilene 3 is perfect for layering-not bulky, fits true to size and is built for wear. Great layer for physical working conditions outside. Thank you Patagonia!

Excellent
Love Patagonia Capilene. Highly recommend

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.

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!!!

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.

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

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.

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!
May 19, 2009
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.
May 12, 2009
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.
December 23, 2008
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!
November 30, 2008
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.

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.
January 5, 2008
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.
December 29, 2007
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.
