Patagonia Capilene 3 Crew - Long-Sleeve - Men's
The Patagonia Men's Capilene 3 Long-Sleeve Crew features a dense honeycomb polyester fabric that feels soft on your skin, insulates you, and provides low-friction comfort with other layers. Wear this midweight base layer shirt alone when you hike in cool weather or under your shell when you ski. Its versatile, fast-wicking Capilene polyester pulls sweat from your body and helps keep you warm in chilly temps. Patagonia put this contoured shirt's seams where they would be out of the way of pack, bib, or wader straps.
Bottom Line: You need a versatile base layer to take on a variety of backcountry pursuits, so grab the Patagonia Capilene 3 Crew.

one quiver base layer

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'm looking for a form fitting base layer? I really like
I'm looking for a form fitting base layer? I really like the Capilene 3 but it's more of a regular fit. Do you guys have any recommendations? I was thinking just putting these in the dryer to shrink them. Will that work?

The Capilene 3 is a slim fit, but not quite form fitting. It's lighter weight, but the Patagonia Capilene 1 crew is even more of a slim fit, and is fairly form fitting. Still insulates well, dries really quickly, and is 100% recycled/recyclable.

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.
Would like advice for finding base layer underwear for tall people.

I'm 6'2" and have a couple of the Patagonia Cap 3 shirts. They aren't excessively short in the sleeves. I do have a Patagonia Wool 2 and that has very long sleeves and body. The sleeves easily cover my wrists. It can get tucked into your pants and shouldn't come out at all. The Capilline 3 are too short to tuck in for me.
Something else to consider are shirts with thumb holes. I can't think of any specifically right now, but I know they exist. These shirts have longer sleeves since they are designed to cover part of your palm as well. When you have your thumb in the thumb hole, the shirt covers your radial pulse point, and since the blood is so close the the surface of your skin here, keeping this point warm helps keep your whole body warm.

Overall, pretty good.

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.
How does Cap 3 compare to UA Base 2.0. I am a medium in Base
How does Cap 3 compare to UA Base 2.0. I am a medium in Base 2.0 (short but muscular) and the Base 2.0's fit really well. Would these have a similar fit? Especially in length on bottoms? Thanks

The classic
By: Aaron McCarver

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.

Very warm

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.
Which Capilene (1, 2, 3, 4?) would be best for hiking in high
Which Capilene (1, 2, 3, 4?) would be best for hiking in high 30's to mid 50's temps? And what, if anything, would you wear over it?

Capilene 3 might suit you best. At the upper range of the temps you gave, Capilene 4 could be a bit more than you need. In terms of layering over it, maybe a midweight pullover or lightweight jacket/softshell. Once you're moving you may find that the capilene is sufficient on its own. Its really up to you

Yes, capilene 3 would be good as long as you are moving.

Go to Shirt
By: Grant Sun

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
is the Fog X-dye's only difference the color? Just wondering

Looks like they might have only had a few sizes left when you last checked (as now this color is no longer an option). The fog X-dye is merely a different color.

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.
Extremely comfortable base layer

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.

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.
Great shirt!

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!
