Awesome next-to-skin layer
kzoodan

Just picked this up after eyeballing it locally for a long while. I've had plenty of Cap 1 over the past 2 decades, so this was my first try with the Cap 2.
I used the Cap 2 as my next-to-skin layer for a camping trip with overnight lows in the low 30s. The cap 2 did an excellent job of keeping the heat in close to my body. At night, I wore this with a TNF stretch jacket over it and was mostly comfortable all night.
The fabric did pick up a bit of stink after 5 days of wear, and I feel like Cap 1 does not.

Sizing??? I am 5'7" and 145 lbs athletic cut. Would the S be to small or should I shoot for the M? Using as a baselayer. My smartwool NTS in M is a little to loose for a base layer....HELP!!!

Member since
I'm just a bit smaller than you (though I'd be described as "stick thin") and I wear a small. I bought a small, and it's not quite skin tight, but certainly cut to be "next to skin". For your size, I'd get a Medium.

What else can I say that hasn't been said. This is as good as it gets for layering for the price.
Air dry to keep the stank to a minimum. The drier kind of bakes it in.
Awesome Shirt - Will Be Buying More
Jacob Q
Member since
I bought one of these for a trip I have coming up in the Smokies. Two words, extremely comfortable. I was highly impressed the moment I put it on. I'm thinking about getting more in different colors because I like the shirt I have so much.
Super thin, surprisingly warm.
Ryan Roeber
Member since
When I first got them, I was very surprised as to how thin the material itself is. Despite it being so thin, it is amazingly warm. I've worn this in the teens-20's and been warm in just a soft shell over it (as long as I'm moving!) It dries super quick too, which is great!
Thin but effective layer
Joey Sweeney
Member since
When I got this I was pretty skeptical. It seemed really thin and had a cheap poly feel to it. That being said I was really surprised at how well it performed. I wore it for 5 days straight on a climbing trip and really put it to the test. It kept me cool and dry under my R1 / Puffy.
It did retain odor more than a merino layer would.

I just got this and so far I'm very pleased. At first I was a little let down because it was thinner that I expected but I was surprised at how warm it was once I wore it. It does fit a little loose for a base layer but because of that it is extremely comfortable.
The Smell...

Once you start to appreciate performance gear like this baselayer, it is hard to go back to regular shirts. However, I decided to downgrade my review. The shirt smells really bad. For the price, you can get better baselayers. I usually love Patagonia, but decided to replace this one with a merino-wool Stoic shirt (for the same price) and could not be happier.
go to base layer

Used primarily for backcountry touring. Very comfortably when hiking without my jacket in just this layer as well as using it as a main base layer. Ive used it from 30 down to the single digits and love it. in colder temps I'll have to put the puffy on also then heat up really quick.
Just bought a second

This has been my go to base layer for the past 4 years. I've worn it for everything from traveling to cragging to winter mountaineering and have never been disappointed.
I generally wear this as a long sleeve over a t-shirt, but occasionally wear it as my primary base layer. Either way it performs great. Small and light enough that I never think twice about packing it, and it provides a surprising amount of warmth. Perfect for intense cardio activity on chilly days.
After 4-5 years of abuse, my first Capilene 1 was ready to retire (it had holes at the elbows and in the sleeves, mostly from rubbing against rock), and I just bought a new replacement.

I'm a big fan of the Cap 2's but was a little dissapointed that Blue is darker than it shows in the picture.
Just Ok!

I like Patagonia Capilene. still have a shirt from a few years ago, but with more holes. Thought it was time to replace it. My previous one fits nicely, the new one(same size) is wrinkly in the arms and over all much more loose. Disappointed in the fit.
How does this compare to Under Armour? I...

How does this compare to Under Armour? I really like Under Armour shirts and can someone give a fair comparison of these? I really like Under Armour compression cold gear but haven't tried their fitted cold gear. I realize this isn't made for really cold weather but I do better with comparisons to things I already know about. I do not own any Patagonia clothing although I have an R1 zip up waiting for me when I arrive back in the States. Thanks

I'd say they're pretty comparable. I've found the capilene to be a bit looser and more breathable than the underarmour, but both do the job as a base layer.
My Go-to Baselayer!
Jeff Guest
Member since
I own a few of these base layers and have used them for years! They are lightweight and look great! I wear them under my t-shirts in the winter to stay warm snowboarding or sitting at work. :)
Best Baselayer
mattymeis

I wear this shirt everyday, so comfortable. It's by far my favorite shirt, wicks moisture well and you can wear it in any possible situation. Definitely worth the price.
Functional but ...
Steve Chapman
Member since
I know that Patagonia has earned a solid reputation via their Capilene line but I don't get it. First ... a base layer, by definition, needs to be snug enough to fit under your mid layer which more often than not is a merino wool or fleece. Both of which are not exactly "silky" fabrics. As a result they grab onto what ever it is they are going over and or under. Capilene has too loose of a fit and it becomes a chore to adjust under your mid layer. Second ... while Capilene is very warm ... it gets very funky, very fast. I've ended up using my Capilene as a mid layer under Helly Hanson or Under Armour. Just depends on the conditions but in any case, Capilene is not my go to base.
My Favorite Shirt
Matt Bourget
Member since
This shirt is awesome as a baselayer for skiing, hiking, etc. The Slim fit is perfect (not too loose like other patagonia shirts) and I wear it for everything. I wish I had 5 more of them
Like it's not even there
Thomas Ogasawara
Member since
I have never, ever worn anything so breathable. I went running in it for the first time and worked up a pretty good sweat, and this shirt handled it beautifully. Granted, it doesn't do much in the face of wind, but that's just all the more proof of it's amazing breathability. Hands down my favorite base layer.
The Good Stuff

The One and Only
Erik Blow

I don't know if I can say anything about these layers that hasn't already been said, but these are the BEST baselayers created. Really Patagonia's capeline entirely is fantastic, but I use the 2 the most because of it's versatility. They breath like a champ, wick sweat rapidly, are thermally efficient, and are tremendously light and comfortable. They are indispensable in my skiing and fall backpacking wardrobes and they are the only layers I bring out on trail.
