Product Description
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 Capilene or 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.

Worth the purchase
Everything Patagonia makes is wonderful. Good quality and stylish. I got the "lipstick" which is not my normal look. It looks great. I was pleasantly surprised.
Great lightweight shirt
I love it. It is lighweight and very comfortable. Good for hiking as well as traveling.
miracle fabric, nice cut
The capilene 1 material is wonderful: absorbent and cool or warm, depending on the temperature. It dries quickly and always keeps me comfortable. When washing, I use clorox and it works great!
