A versatile base layer for cool to cold weather, the Patagonia Capilene® 3 long underwear bottoms are highly breathable, moisture-wicking and fast drying.

Patagonia has reinvented its Capilene 3 performance base layers by making them from partially recycled fabric and improving durability, stretch and dry time
Smooth exterior of Polartec® Power Dry#&174; polyester slides easily under layers, and its brushed interior feels soft against skin
Gladiodor® natural odor control employs benign amino acids to help keep funky scents at bay; plus, it's nonpolluting, safe and durable
Gusseted crotch design moves seams to a more comfortable location and allows unrestricted range of motion
Side seams are positioned a bit forward to create chafe-free comfort
Plush, brushed waistband offers next-to-skin softness; medium rise hits just below the natural waist
Contoured, slim fit minimizes bulk to create an easy-layering garment that won't restrict your movement
Flatlock seams are non-bulky and supple
100% recyclable through Patagonia's Common Threads Recycling Program—simply return your worn out item to Patagonia

Please note: Patagonia products can only be shipped to the U.S. and Japan.

Comments about Patagonia Capilene 3 Long Underwear Bottoms - Men's:

Simple and straight forward. I've been using Patagonia Capilene for over 20 years. This is my third pair (somehow lost the second pair). The material feels more comfortable than my older pair. I have found that these don't ball up after many uses, are great for active warmth or just sitting around the campsite and they dry quickly if you sweat in them. They are reliable and dependable. I'm glad to see Patagonia hasn't reduced quality like so many other respected brands over the last 10-20 years.

Comments about Patagonia Capilene 3 Long Underwear Bottoms - Men's:

The new slim fit version doesn't fit me as well as the previous one. I'm 5'5" with 34" waist and strong legs from hiking. I used to be able to fit the small bottoms well, but they are now too snug around the waist. The medium fits the waist fine, but now they are too long for me. If you're shorter and have stronger legs and gluteal muscles, it will be hard to find a good fit.

Comments about Patagonia Capilene 3 Long Underwear Bottoms - Men's:

We've been doing some cool weather hiking lately and my silks just weren't overcoming the near freezing temps outside. I did an online chat with the REI folks and they recommended these as a bottom base layer. I was concerned about chafing, but they told me that, if these chafed, just return them for a refund. REI is the best!
The first time I hiked with them, I was sold. They do not chafe, even at a very brisk pace, and they keep me warm. Exactly what I wanted, exactly what they promised.

Comments about Patagonia Capilene 3 Long Underwear Bottoms - Men's:

These have worked well for me as a downhill skiing base layer and for cool weather hiking. If it's just these and a pair of pants, they can be chilly. If you're wearing these in the winter, you'll probably want to stay active.

The fitting for these is not very forgiving and they're made for a slimmer fit. My weight tends to move around quite a bit (150-180lbs) @ 5'8". I now own a pair of Smartwool long underwear pants -- they are *much* more forgiving than the Capilene 3, and they're significantly warmer, but only slightly thicker.

I mainly use them as underwear to keep warm, whether at work (it's COLD in my building!) or when I'm skiing/snowboarding (it does help immensely).

Comments about Patagonia Capilene 3 Long Underwear Bottoms - Men's:

I have several pairs of these (tops and bottoms) and have found the material to be very tempermental in the washer. It does say on the tag to not use fabric softener, however I have to use the washer and dryer in a common area which others love to use the stuff all the time. Even though I do not use it... the inside of the dryer has enough residual amounts to cause problems with this fabric. The 2 sets of large that I have progressively get bigger and bigger and have lost the nice form fitting shape and are very baggy now. I just bought a pair of Mediums and can hardly even get them on let alone make high leg movements. The mediums are also extremely short (I am not even tall). This fabic from Patagonia is of inferior quality and it seems they are more concerned with the fact that it is recycled than of the performance I need. I will stick with wool products from Icebreaker or Smartwool (much truer fit and WAY better flexability) as Patagonia is not near the quaility they were 15 years ago.

Comments about Patagonia Capilene 3 Long Underwear Bottoms - Men's:

I just used this on a hike with 20 degree weather and it kept me warm. I was not hot nor cold, I was comfortable while hiking for 4 hours. It's very comfortable and fits very well.
