You draw the short straw for dig-out duty after a night of howling winds and driving snow. Stay warm and dry in our Capilene 4's. These highly insulative and ultra-compressible bottoms wick moisture and glide under layers. With a streamlined, brushed-for-softness waistband and a sleek, contoured fit. Made of 50% recycled (and 100% recyclable) polyester from our Common Threads Recycling Program, with a Gladiodor natural odor control finish. Imported. 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.

Second Skin
Comfort, fit, and fabric quality are all superb. The waistband is sturdy yet comfortable. Similar to the Patagonia wool bottoms, you quickly forget that you are wearing the capilene 4s. I can wear these bottoms with any pant shell and even jeans without any fit issues. Highly recommended.
The best I have bought
I bought these to go on a photo shoot in Romania, and I would have to say this is the warmest layer I have ever bought. I tend to do a lot of standing around waiting- and I was never cold, and actually sometimes I got too hot and had to remove a layer! I highly recommend these to anyone going out in the cold or hates the cold!
