Like John Muir protecting Yosemite, The North Face El Cap Temple 1/4 Zip for women helps save the planet with its 100 recycled polyester design. By recycling this Polartec Eco engineered midweight saves 66 lbs in CO emissions and saves 17 gallon of gas, which is a good thing don't you think. A piqu knit with UPF 30 sun protection, an underarm gusset gives excellent mobility, while its raglan sleeve moves seams out of the way for a perfect backpackfriendly fit. A security pocket on the lower back keeps keys and cards handy.
Love this base layer
This is the second El Cap base layer I have bought. The first one was so wonderful I just had to have another. It feels great, wicks away moisture, and you stay warm when it's cold and vice versa. It easily fits under a midlayer fleece. I wore this in the Canadian "Rockies in snow and in sun. I was always comfortable. It also machine washes well; I used no heat in the dryer to help retain the color. This shirt is hard to find in stores.
Awesome Top
Great lightweight, comfortable top. Small snag, but it didn't keep unraveling after being trimmed off.
like the flight series better
I purchased one of the el cap shirts in canada-- it was the flight series which is very similar to this one but I like the neck better-- there is no tab over the zipper. This one has a small pocket for a key or something similar at the hem in the back. This is a fabulous shirt-- but I would go for the other one if available.
