Patagonia  Capilene Midweight Crew Long Underwear Top - Women's

So, I have to say, I was iffy at first on this. I bought both the Capilene top and bottoms for a ski/snowmobiling trip. I am always, always freezing so I knew I had to get a good base layer so I wasn't a miserable... person the entire time. I am shocked at how well they worked out! Not once was I cold on a 7 hour and 5 hour skiing day nor on an 8 hour snowmobiling day! I was actually, surprisingly, hot 2 of those days. I am so glad I invested in these!

I wanted to love this top, and I thought I would since I tried on the latest version of this Capilene shirt on in the store. This must be last season's line of Capilene though, because whatever the seams were sewn with on this was SO ITCHY. The fabric itself felt great, but I knew as soon as I put it on, I'd have to return it. Bummer because the color was beautiful!

I bought this in the light grey colour due to the rave reviews and comments about it not smelling. Originally I wanted a wool base layer but was worried about durability. I wore this on a trip to Canada during an autumn cold snap (-20C). This baselayer kept me so toasty and I did not need to wash it between wears as it did not hold any smell at all. I have now purchased another one in black! I got so many compliments from my friends and did not want to take it off at the end of the day. The only downside it that the thumb loops can start to hurt after multiple days wear, however, the sleeves don't ride up so I didn't need to use the thumb loops all the time. I am in between XS and S sizing (6'4, 55kg). I chose the S. It is a little loose but sooooo comfortable and I re-purchased the size S in black despite the looseness. The price point is affordable, too. Strongly recommend this as a baselayer!!

This is one of the best layers I have own. It works for cross-country skiing, downhill, biking, hiking... I wear it either by itself or as a base layer underneath some fleece. It is super warm, even though is light. I liked it so much that I ordered two more in different colors.

This is a nice midweight top for hikers or active people. It's comfortable and has longer sleeves which I love since I have a hard time finding tops with long enough arms. I love it and will be ordering more of these. Patagonia is always reliable on their products.

It keeps me dry however I wish it were soft. It is an ok fit.

This top was almost perfect. The fabric is soft, and the fit was great. However, the seams were stiff and scratchy, especially on the arms. I have rather sensitive skin and cannot do any kind of wool. So if you are good with wool, you probably would be ok with these seams. Hopefully this comparison helps!

This shirt is functional but not very soft. I really liked the little thumb holders.

I bought these for my wife for Christmas. She said that of all the base layers she had tried on these fit the best and were the most comfortable. The thumb loops are also awesome for layering and not bunching up material

This fit perfectly, has the weight and warmth I am looking for, and has the soft touch and quality I have come to expect from Patagonia capilene tops. Would definitely order a similar product or one in a different color.
