Patagonia Men's Capilene 1 T Shirt

Silky-soft Capilene 1 is the lightest of all our technical baselayers. A master at managing moisture to keep you cool during active use in warm to sweltering conditions, it also helps protect from the sun and acts as an excellent quick-wicking baselayer beneath heftier Capileneor wool insulation when the mercury plummets. Made from 100% post-consumer recycled (and 100% recyclable) Capilene 1 polyester, with Gladiodor natural odor control. Made in USA. Common Threads Recycling ProgramResearch shows that the environmental impact of recycling worn-out Capilene base layers into new polyester fiber is significantly lower than making that same fiber from virgin materials. Taking into account that worn-out garments are diverted from trash incinerators, making new polyester fiber from recycled garments results in an energy savings of 76% and a CO2 emissions [greenhouse gasses] reduction of 71%, versus creating that fiber from new raw material. Capilene Core PerformanceCapilene base layers afford quick-drying, next-to-skin moisture management for all activities in all conditions ? from high-altitude bivies to sun-soaked water sports.

Best Multipurpose Top
The Capilene 1 T is the most useful top I own. I use them for running, yoga, weight training, hiking and general wear when it's really hot outside. They keep you very cool and dry. Drape and fit is good, they wick very well and are super durable. I buy the next size up to have a looser fit for my activities. I'm 5'11" and the large fits me perfectly and still allows me to use this as a base layer also. Best of all they are still made in the USA!

excellent hiking shirt
I bought two of these shirts for a hiking trip. They sure exceeded my expectations. They are super comfortable and wick and dry really quickly. They do not pill and snag like other drifit shirts I have bought. They are easy to wash and dry really quickly when you need to wash them when you are traveling. I liked them so well I bought several more when I got home.

Great base-layer shirt
Would highly recomend as either a base layer shirt in the cold or a shirt to wear in the summer. The shirt is very comfortable.

Very Light and Comfortable
Great tempereature regulator. I wear it under a Merino Bike Jersey. I mean what the point of having a Merino Wolls (Betasso) jersey if you put a plastic shirt under it. The Patagonia wool is King!
