Patagonia Men's Capilene 3 Bottoms

Ideal as a baselayer for endurance activities in cool to cold temperatures, Capilene 3 moves moisture effectively to keep you dry. Its brushed interior retains heat, while its smooth jersey exterior glides easily beneath layers. The fit is contoured and sleek without being restrictive. Made from 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 PerformanceCapilene 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.

Absolutely perfect!
The Capilene 3 base layer system is absolutely perfect in the conditions I used them in. I recently wore these on a weekend backpacking trip and discovered that they will very easily keep you warm in 40 degree f temps if you are only mildly active, and keep you warm in 50 degree f temps if you are standing still. During moderate activity I began to get a little too warm, but lucky for me this base layer is excellent at wicking and quick drying. For wood gathering and processing in 40 degree temps the Capilene 3s did seem to get a tad warm. Time for me to pick up some Capilene 2s! Would absolutely recommend to everyone I know.

Sooooo warm!
Worn under jeans, Capilene 3 bottoms can keep me warm through the coldest of Chicago winters. I do find that they are a bit too warm to be worn for long in most heated indoor environments, so if I'm going to be going in and out frequently, I'll wear Capilene 2 bottoms instead. But for all-day-outside warmth in the bitter cold, nothing beats these Capilene 3 bottoms.

Very great baselayer
I've only had one chance to use both top and bottom. I shoveled snow on drive in Northeastern Ohio, temp around 10 degrees. Shoveled for about 1 1/2 hours. I wore a hooded sweatshirt and jeans. I was very comfortable no sweat no overheating, just right. I will strongly recommend to others.
