I love the cap base layers they are perfect for a Southeast Alaska climate.

I love this thing. It's my ski base layer on cold days but is comfortable (not too hot) hiking, climbing, mtn biking, etc.

I eventually bought 2 of these. I am 6'4" and the XL is excellent. (i wear XL in all patagonia tops) wear it casual or layer it for the trail or slopes. With this essential you should have high hopes... (i tried to be cool and rhyme just there)

Surprisingly warm and extremely soft/comfortable base layer. Could even be worn as an outer layer if the color's right. One of my favorite shirts now.

Very warm. I just wore this and a The North Face vest under my shell while skiing. I was completely warm.

Works great, keeps you warm and doesn't restrict movement at all. So, no top marks on the performace part. However, the fabric started to pill after the first few washes, and the stitching around the neck seems to be unravelling. A little disappointing, considering Pat's reputation for quality.

I just got back from climbing kilimanjaro and the cap 3 was my best friend. I think i wore it almost everyday. It was comfortable and amazingly warm. After 9 days it didn't even smell too bad either. Highest recommendation for a great baselayer.

Not only is the cap 3 long sleeve a perfect base layer for mid-winter sports ... it's also great as a casual, comfortable & cozy top when hanging around the house or going out for dinner.

I also find myself wearing this a lot when I travel - it's perfect for flights & car rides.

Bottom line: you can't go wrong ... get it.

The new capilene seems softer than my old stuff, but just as functional. Warm and thirsty fabric keeps you comfy whether powering up the hill or resting on the windy ridge. The neck is a little bigger than it should be though.

I've had this for about two years now and I can say this is a great first layer. I've worn this on many trips and it has performed flawlessly. I wear it while I hike in cooler temps and it wicks moisture likes it's nobody's business and I don't even have to change when it's time to climb inside the sleeping bag. This thing stays dry and is very comfortable. One minor issue: It can get real clingy. The material which I think is polyester attracts static electricity so I docked it one star, but other than that this base layer is well worth the price.

Great baselayer. Fits and feels good. Not as soft as merino wool.

This is one of my favorite shirts and because of the wicking material, it'll be in my pack the next time I'm out. They say that it fights odor as well, but it still has that distinctive poly smell after wearing it a day or two.

This shirt is great for many reasons. It looks like it can be warn as a more casual nice shirt yet feels like a pajama shirt since its so soft. Also it moves and stretches well for various activities. The only drawback is you can't pull the sleeves all the way up to your bis since the wrist and forearm part of the shirt is pretty tight

I got it as a present for my bf. He loves it. The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of 5 is the price.

I got this to use as a base layer, but found myself wearing it a lot more often. It works excellent for skiing, although I wouldn't suggest it for multiday trips. Polyester holds onto a little too much funk to wear it repeatedly without washing. While the cap3 works for hiking, I'd suggest going for a wool shirt if you're going to be out for more than a couple of days. Wool won't smell after a day or two. With that said, you could buy 2 of these for the price of 1 wool shirt.
So if you're just using it for skiing, or lounging around in, it's perfect. If you want somehing for for long backpacking trips, get wool.

It's truly amazing how warm these are! When you feel them, they feel very thin and you can actually see through them. But the first time you put it on, you WILL feel the difference!! Every time I wear these, I overheat to the point where I have to take off layers! These an amazing must have base layer!

I really like this shirt. It's really comfortable and feels great!
