Patagonia Capilene 1 Tank Top - Women's - 2007 BCS

Cap 1 suits me for its wicking, cooling and insulating properties and the tank is no exception. Great neckline for layering and just barely long enough to meet pants waistband, hovering about an inch below belly button. But, the excess fabric under the arms is really strange looking -- its really wide and pouchy there. Too misshapen (and short) to wear on its own but great function as a layering piece.

Works fine as a layering piece. Length on me (5"6" and short waisted) is OK -- just above hip bones. Another inch would be better. Quite baggy in the pits, looks oddly deformed on its own. But functions well to wick and breathe and insulate just enough, and neckline is just right, not too high or low. Decent item at sale price, wouldn't bother at full price.

The design and material was cool... and was made by Patagonia, so you know it will be durable. But, it was too short and sat right at my waist. I have a short upper body, so I don't like to accentuate the nubbiness I was born with. Plus it seemed a little baggy in the pits, yet was fine (size wise) everyplace else. Odd.
