A first layer for aerobic activities in a wide range of temperatures, the Patagonia Capilene® 3 Zip-T top is highly breathable and dries quickly.

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
Zipper is backed by a draft flap and tucks neatly into zipper garage
Raglan sleeves and single-piece shoulder panel merge out of the way for increased comfort under a backpack, ski bibs or wader straps
Side seams are positioned a bit forward to prevent chafing under a hipbelt
Contoured, slim fit minimizes bulk to create an easy-layering garment that won't restrict your movement
Hem is long enough in back to stay tucked in
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 Zip-T Shirt - Men's:

The Capilene 3 is one of the most versatile and important pieces of clothing that one can have for lightweight backpacking. It can be worn with or without a t-shirt, as a single or mid-layer, or underneath successive layers in cold weather, and they look good enough to wear out. After a long backpack this will be by far the least-funky-smelling thing in your pack. They can withstand the abuse of any kamikaze trek, even taking the abrasions of asphalt during a bike crash. A pair of these in my pack on a 6 month europe tour were the only things I didn't wear out, and were pretty much the only things I wore. I would never go on a trip without one.

Comments about Patagonia Capilene 3 Zip-T Shirt - Men's:

I love the cut of this shirt. I'm about 6'3" 195 lbs and i bought a medium, which fits great around the torso, but the arms could probably be another half inch longer to be perfect. So far I've only taken it on day hikes, but I hit Old Rag Mountain in ~60 degree temps and it was a bit warm for the occasion. My only knock is it does retain odors quite a bit, but I think thats pretty standard for poly, so I'm ready to stink when it comes to i

Comments about Patagonia Capilene 3 Zip-T Shirt - Men's:

While some companies have gone to cheaper fabrics or smaller dimensions, Patagonia has improved this product over the older versions with longer sleeves and tails.The fabric is softer than wool alternatives. Wicks better and dries quicker than some cycling specific brands. Perfect as a base layer for cool weather hikes or more aerobic activities.

Comments about Patagonia Capilene 3 Zip-T Shirt - Men's:

I now own two of these shirts. I've found them to be a perfect 'it's slightly cold outside' piece to put on over a t-shirt. Very comfy. Dries quick (be it from sweat or rain). I don't know how practical this would be in the very cold. It would have to be for a very anaerobic activity, as it's pretty thin.

Comments about Patagonia Capilene 3 Zip-T Shirt - Men's:

This 3 and my capiline 4 are my favorite all around go to base layers to use when cycling in the cold windy weather. They regulate my body temperature perfectly when I'm sweating, (I sweat alot), they disparate the water perfectly off my skin and keep me dry, and when I'm off the bike for a rest stop, they keep my body heat in which is the most comfortable feeling. They are both very light weight and their warmth to weight is perfect espcially when moving weight around. I am 60 years old and for me the capilines work perfectly by providing that special layer between the skin and the jacket. I tried on other competitors base layers and jackets but the capilines have excellent zippers that never give me a problem and the smooth fit is excellent fitting to go on and off quickly and carry no order to them. I always wear them when I go out in cold weather to the store or around town and wear a light jacket over to stop the wind. The capilines are soo comfortable that I never want to take them off,

Comments about Patagonia Capilene 3 Zip-T Shirt - Men's:

When zipped, the stiff, snug zipper is uncomfortably snug against my adam's apple. Contrary to Description, the zipper is NOT backed by a draft flap and lacks a zipper garage. Just take a look at the photo of the model wearing it.

Comments about Patagonia Capilene 3 Zip-T Shirt - Men's:

I love this item. It fits me perfectly(I bought a medium, I'm 5'10"). It keeps me warm on the crag during the winter (20's-30's) with a light jacket on. I can shed the jacket and climb with this item on and be comfortable. Sweat dries fast. Beware though, this item retains odors.
