The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

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

Patagonia has reinvented its Capilene3 performance base layers, making them from partially recycled fabric and improving durability, stretch and dry time
The smooth exterior of Polartec® Power Dry® 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

Comments about Patagonia Capilene 3 Zip-T - Women's:

I have the previous version of the Cap 3 zip and it is by far my favorite shirt to wear during the cool and cold weather. It breathes well and has a great fit, with a long torso and arms for my 5'10" figure. I wanted another one to add to my wardrobe and checked out the new edition. I was not happy at all! I am a consistent large in everything Patagonia but the large in this was huge in the waist and not flattering at all. The medium fit better in the waist but the arms and chest were too small. I was dying to take it off after feeling the itchy stitching along the arms too. I also thought the fabric wasn't as substantial. I've worn my older edition just about every time out and it looks as good as new. I've managed to track down an older version on the web before they disappear for good. Had REI's cap 3 equivalent been longer in the arms I would have sprung for that over the new Patagonia Cap 3.

Comments about Patagonia Capilene 3 Zip-T - Women's:

I LOVED my Cap3 zip-T (purchased several years ago) until the ER cut it off me after an accident. It fit PERFECTLY snug, comfortable, flexible...
I promptly went shopping for a replacement, as it was my favorite thing to wear for all outdoors activities (sailing, hang gliding, hiking, skiing...) I was really disappointed with the fit on the "redesigned" Cap3 tops! I initially thought that there must be a glitch in the "batch" I was trying on but several weeks later I tried again but found the same horrible fit: too tight across the shoulders, too short sleeves and way too loose in the torso/waist! ugh - so unflattering, especially in comparison to the one I had previously loved! I ended up buying a (more expensive) SmartWool top, which is OK, but not the same...
I really wish Patagonia would bring the old design back.

Comments about Patagonia Capilene 3 Zip-T - Women's:

I don't wear it as a base layer. Its too roomy, not tight enough. I usually wear something more form fitting underneath. It's great for layering thou. I run a lot in cold weather. Like the turquoise color.
I am almost always a medium. 5'7" 150 lbs and its quite roomy. In contrast, the smart wool midweight zip top I have is very form fitting (also md) and does the job a lot better. But it is really expensive and not worth it to a lot of people (i've been eyeing it for over a year and i finally gave in when it was on sale)

Comments about Patagonia Capilene 3 Zip-T - Women's:

I have worn this on mountain expeditions and can't say enough good things about it. It wicks very well and is still warm when wet. Very comfortable which is important when left on for multiple days and nights. The long zip is great for temperature regulation. It is not a snug fit. In cold weather I wear it as a base layer but also in place of a light fleece for warmer weather activities. This product will keep you alive in the mountains.
I am 180cm (5'11") and the L fits me perfectly.
