Patagonia Men's Capilene 2 Crew

Patagonia Men's Capilene 2 Crew

A versatile essential in any outdoor wardrobe, Patagonia's Capilene 2 Crew features open, highly breathable Capilene 2 knit fabric. The lightweight material allows for unhindered airflow and excellent wicking for endurance activities in warm to moderate temperatures. If you're comparing Capilene numbers, Capilene 2 is the fastest-drying Capilene baselayer available from Patagonia. Hikers and climbers like the low-bulk fabric and tapered fit because it layers well with practically any outerwear (Patagonia recommends pairing their Capilene pullovers with Capilene 3 or Capilene 4 fleece in frigid conditions). Patagonia gave their Capilene 2 Crew a curvilinear construction with seams that refuse to chafe beneath a pack or climbing sling. Capilene 2 is also made from quick-wicking, fast-drying 54% post-consumer recycled (and 100% recyclable) polyester that's treated with Gladiodor natural odor control. In a recent research program, Common Threads Recycling Program demonstrated 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. When you consider 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 (those greenhouse gasses) reduction of 71%, versus creating that fiber from new raw material. It's a design that you can feel good about anywhere on the planet.

Great all around base layer
From winter hiking trips in the Grand Canyon to skiing at Telluride, this base layer is the perfect solution for wicking away sweat and keeping you warm. I also found that on multi-day trips it didn't start to smell as quickly as other wicking shirts I have worn.

Great product
After careful research through friends, I was consistently referred to this product as a base layer. When I am not hiking, I usually use this as a shirt for work out and running. Keeps you cool and dry. Great buy!
