Patagonia Capilene 2 Crew - Long-Sleeve - Men's

Item #PAT0546 | 378 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Awesome Base but....

By Ranked #636 - Men's Midweight Long Underwear - Tops April 17, 2009

I will admit this is my first good quality base layer... I can think back to soccer when I was sporting some Champion brand spandex but I did pick up the full Capilene 2 system and am amazed. Comfy, slightly loose fitting, breathable and very quick drying all as advertised. My only gripe is with the durability, I am a little worried as I have had these for about one month and gotten quite a bit of use from them already, the shirt has been flawless while the pants have a small rip starting in my inner thigh. The only thing I have used them for thus far is biking and the rip would make sense if there was anything sharp around my saddle (which I made sure there is not). It appears the rip might be coming from repetitive stretching? I have yet to contact Patagonia yet to see what they have to say. But worn as a base layer this stuff is amazing!!! just watch out for snaggs and maybe stretching the fabric to much. Thanks!!
