Best 3-season baselayer

By Matt Lutz Ranked #288 - Men's Lightweight Long Underwear - Tops December 8, 2009

Capilene is the best fabric for baselayers other than perhaps high-quality merino wool. I prefer thin base layers because I can more easily later them (long-sleeve over short-sleeve) and they dry quicker.

The design on the Cap1 is great, too. The sleeves are cut narrowly so they taper to the wrist and do not hang lose. The torso length is also slightly long so the shirt can be tucked in to prevent drafts.

I use the Cap 1 running in cold weather, and in spring/fall over a Cap 1 short-sleeve.
