My wife and I both have this baselayer. Patagonia makes some fantastic baselayers in the Capilene 1,2,3 and 4 versions. This is the midweight version and is a comfortable shirt to wear, looks good and does a great job of wicking moisture. I have noticed a significant difference in warmth between this shirt and the Capilene 1 and 2.

Patagonia considers this a slim fit but I think of it more as an athletic fit, fits snug but not tight. It is not compression fit like some other baselayers.

In most conditions, this baselayer and a vest under a good shell is a great combination.
