Patagonia Capilene 3 Crew - Long-Sleeve - Men's - 2007 BCS

I have the old version and the newer model, feel about the same to me.

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.

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 was really impressed at how warm this layer is. With a 600 fill down jacket i was beyond hot in cold weather. I liked it so much i decided to purchase a Cap 2 layer which fits the climate of were i live better (south east) the cap 3&4 are great for real cold weather or skiing.I am 5'10 Medium Build, 160LBS and a Medium size is where it is at!Worth the $

Perfect base for hunting in Wisconsin. Wicks moisture away when walking to the tree stand and keeps you warm all day. Best base layer I've used!

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 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.

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.

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.

Went on a 5 mile running last night in the wind and 10 degree cold. Wore this and a light jacket. Wicked the sweat and kept me nice and warm. It is a little short compared to my Capilene 1 and 2 shirts. Not sure why.

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

Love Patagonia. Great baselayer, especially the price. Well fitted, although the neckline is a bit small. Super warm, dumps the moisture/heat very well.

I bought this for my son who prefers synthetic base layers. Like all Patagonia base layers, the capilene 3 wicks well and stays dry. Wool is softer next to the skin, but the problem is that it gets clammy and moist if one does highly aerobic activities and takes longer to dry. One can wear a capilene 1 under the capilene 3 in colder climates for added softness and warmth next to the skin.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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 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.
