Stay cool while cross country skiing in the Patagonia Women's Capilene 3 Zip-Neck, and then stay warm while waiting for your friends to catch up. The dense honeycomb Capilene 3 fabric retains heat while you sit still, and it dumps heat when you work hard. Patagonia gave the Capilene 3 Zip-Neck a soft, brushed finish and flatlock seams for comfort, compressibility, and easy layering. Fine-seam construction and a contoured fit make this thermal ideal for layering. Patagonia's Gladiodor natural odor control keeps you smelling fresh even during a week in the backcountry.

Bottom Line: Go with the Patagonia Capilene 3 Zip-Neck when you know you'll be working hard in cold weather.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Sizing suggested a small. It is a little snug, but comfortable. Wish I'd ordered a medium. Great quality and warmth.

Warm Layering

By:

Love the length of this mid-weight layer, both in sleeves and torso. No skimping here! I actually use this as a pajama top, and it's wonderfully warm.

About the only way to do that is if the next order comes in and they're still offered on sale. The other thing you could do is use a discount code either one that's available now or something that should be available soon.

Perfect base layer

By:
February 2, 2009

I love this shirt. I have three of them and always use them as baselayers for all sorts of conditions. they are warm and I love the material-very comfy. The high neck is great and the fit is not too tight but not too loose. I get them in large (for length) and I am 5'10" 140lbs.

Refuse to wear anything else

By:
January 14, 2010

Although more than enough people have already commented on this shirt, no one has done so in 2010. So. I bought my Capilene 3 during winter 2008 and haven't taken it off since! Well that's a lie, but I certainly do want to wear this shirt everyday. This is the only baselayer I wear and have used it for a seemingly unending list of activities including: trail hiking, snowshoeing, cycling, skiing (alpine and nordic), snowboarding, and everyday life. I enjoy the (black) Cap 3 because it doesn't show sweat stains, doesn't stink, and dries quickly. Bottom line: this shirt is worth every penny!

I can't tell you exactly but I am 6'0" and wear a size medium. I have a hard time finding shirts that have long enough sleeves and torsos without being too wide. This shirt is awesome! It is long enough in the sleeves (they go up to my thumbs!) and torso while maintaining a very flattering fit.

Good Layer Under Turtleneck

By:
January 8, 2009

Found this to be comfortable, not itchy or too tight. I use it for layering on the colder days and even colder mornings as I'm on the road before the sun is up. I like the extra material used to cover up the zipper so it's not against the skin. Worn under a t-shirt, I like that the high collar offers protection for my neck and when I'm comfortably warm then I can unzip the shirt as needed.

fits the bill

By:
November 9, 2009

i needed to get a good base layer for hiking/snow camping. admittedly, i haven't been camping in it yet, but i can already tell that this is what i was looking for. i've practically lived in it since i bought it a few days ago and love it. it's super comfy, doesn't seem to stretch out, and keeps me warm. also, i like the sleeves because they fit me perfect: a little on the long side, but with cuffs small enough so that they don't droop over my hands. i'm 5'2" and 120lbs and the small fits me perfect.

Great Base Layer

By:
October 6, 2009

This base layer fits well. The sleeves and torso are long enough, which is tough to find in smaller-sized base layer. The inside pattern of the fabric wicks very well. The zip-neck gives you some climate control. Great base layer that looks good enough to wear with jeans to the bar.

Nice second layer

By:
June 8, 2010

Wore it on a 5 day trek as a second layer. Loved the style and the performance. It's very lightweight, well-made, dries quickly and is an overall top performer :)

Versatile and warm

By:
September 25, 2008

I love this shirt. I run hot, so I often wear it alone in cool weather, but if it's really cold out, this is a great base layer. I'm 6'0 with a long torso, and find this shirt fits very well: sleeves and hem are long enough, cut is flattering.

Great Winter Necessity

By: Backcountry.com Employee
September 16, 2008

I have one of these and I love it! I have a long torso and it covers my belly completely. It feels great and fits nice and trim. I have an older one that still gets smelly but apparently now they are made with an anti-stink technology worked right into the fabric. I live in this in the winter.

FAVORITE CAPILENE PIECE

By:
November 5, 2007

I use this for EVERYTHING. It is wonderfully versatile. The fit is perfect (just a touch snug), and the sleeve-length just right. Wicks well, looks good, keeps me warm when I need to be warm, and cools when I need to be cool. It doesn't get any better.

Perfect

By:
December 23, 2008

This top fits true to size. The torso is fitted (but not tight), the length prevents any gaps in my layers, the cut prevents any part from riding up, and the arms allow excellent range of motion. This is not the warmest top I've ever had, but perfect for layering, and once i've worked up some heat, breathes very well. Probably in the spring and fall, I will be able to wear it alone. I am 5' 2", about 125 and the size small works great. Will be buying more!

more than an underlayer

By:
November 29, 2008

From an admitted Patagonia devotee, this is exactly why I love that company! I'm using it over my sport tops for yoga, and think it looks better than some regular knit tops. Nicely fitted, but not too snug. DItto to all the other positive comments.

Fabulous

Warm. Comfortable. Cute. Would it be weird if I wore this every day for the rest of the winter?

One of my favorites

By:
January 19, 2007

I wear this top for almost everything, backcountry skiing, resort skiing, running and grocery shopping. Love the fit, it's long enough to even wear with low rise jeans. It would be nice to have more colors to choose from though.

NICE FOR LAYERING

By:
January 8, 2007

This is a nice lighter weight layer. I was disappointed in the color. I thought that the Aubergine/Velvet Brown color would be a two tone coloring with a plum and brown combo, but it is just a brown color.

Very nice product. Lightweight yet warm. Can zip all the way up for a nice tight seal around the neck.

I love this shirt! It's not bulky and is warm without making it HOT. I just wish I could get it in other colors.

Buy the black one!

Such an solid shirt (best in its weight) that I bought 4 more. Honestly the best fit, but insulator, and best fit you can buy without going to Merino!
