What is the difference between the capilene 2 and 3, besides a few bucks. Also, in some colors, the sea grass wildwood, it looks quite fitted, atheltic cut, but in the others it looks rather baggy. Which is the true fit? And how warm is it? At what temps can I wear this alone and still be warm. I plan to use this while running in the fall and autumn.

Capilene 2 has a more open weave for the fabric, and is a lightweight, quicker drying alternative to Capilene 3. Cap 3 is a great mid-weight, and makes for a super versatile layer. Depending how cold it is where you run during the autumn you might want to go Cap 3. probably 50 degrees and above is when I'd where Cap 2 on it's own, and Cap 3 could be worn into the upper 30's or so on it's own if you're moving. As for the fit, Seagrass/Wildwood isn't the best representation. It's an athletic cut, but not that drastic.
