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. Bottoms have a slightly lower rise to both free the torso and reduce bulk within cold-weather layering systems; the scalloped, feminine waistband is brushed for next-to-skin comfort. 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.

This was replacement for one that was lost
I had this top before but lost it somewhere in France on a bike trip. It is a great top. I like to wear it over a sleeveless top when cycling and then remove it as the day warms up.
How fix is the woman?
I bought this shirt for underwear for cold season. It's really nice and warm for winter season. I strongly recommend to anyone for climbing and hiking in winter seasons. Upon purchasing this item I became a fan of Patagonia.
Worth every penny
Awesome. Perfect for winter running or everyday wear. I constantly get compliments so I bought another in a different color. I will buy more.

*****
This shirt is the perfect weight for my trail running needs and will be the go-to layer for skiing this winter.
My favorite skiing undershirt
I just totally love this shirt. It is warm, lightweight and odor absorbent. I am overall Patagonia fan but this shirt really rock. Absolutely recommended.
awesome buy
this top fits true to size and very dependable. it kept me warm on the inca trail during freezing nights in the andes. now i can't travel without it.
Versatile and flattering
I have several of these as well as Cap 4 zip, Cap 2 and Cap 1. Cap 3 and 4 fit true to size, Cap 1 and 2 run a size larger. All show off curves and feel soft and feminine while performing like iron. Look great on the trail or in town. Shoreline blue somehow blends well with true blue as well as azure and turquoise shades.
Warm soft layering!
Great zip neck for going out of town or keeping you warm with thin layer. Never too hot and keeps me warm when the weather changes
LOVE
I bought this in black about two years ago and wear it ALL the time. The material seems impossible to wear out, although the letters did peel off after about 15 washings. It's great for any kind of layering,and it breathes really well. Fit is also pretty standard.
I love this zip neck.
It is warm and soft. Fits true to the sizing chart. I have it in 2 colors as I wear them so much.
Warm Layering
It is wonderfully versatile. The fit is perfect (just a touch snug), and the sleeve-length just right. Wicks well, looks good, keeps me warm when I need to be warm, and cools when I need to be cool.
FAVORITE CAPILENE PIECE
Very nice product. Lightweight yet warm. Can zip all the way up for a nice tight seal around the neck.
WARM BREATHABLE AND SOFT
I love this zip neck. It is warm and soft. Fits true to the sizing chart. I have it in 2 colors as I wear them so much.
Awesome
Perfect fit, great material. Another wonderful Patagonia product
Perfect
I love these pull overs. They are easy to throw on, versatile, and fit great.
very nice
This is a big improvement over the old capilene underwear. The material is softer, and the fit is better. Excellent product!!
Patagonia Women's Capilene 3 Zip Neck
This top fits well. It is flattering and can be worn alone or under clothing as a baselayer. The color aubergine is great. I would recommend it to anyone.
Warm, but smelly
Garment runs true to size. I ordered the "chocolate", but it's really more plummy/purply than I expected. I spend my winters fishing for lobster off the coast of Maine, and it's crucial to stay warm and dry. Capilene 3 has been an invaluable base layer. I really notice a difference on days the Caps are all dirty and I have to go with a cheaper poly-propylene. The colors and fit are flattering enough to wear about town. The only drawback is how much and how badly this stuff stinks. In a few hours you smell like Great Uncle Eddie's old polyester pantsuit. The funk comes on fast, so be wary if you're wearing it casually. Because of the odor, I've begun experimenting with wool.
