The open, highly breathable knit and feathery weight of Capilene 2 affords unhindered airflow, excellent wicking for endurance activities in warm to moderate temperatures--it's also our fastest-drying Capilene. Because of its low-bulk design and streamlined fit, Capilene 2 also acts an excellent layering piece beneath Capilene 3 or 4 during colder weather. The curvilinear construction provides an updated, fast-forward fit, with seams that won't chafe under a pack or climbing sling. Made of quick-wicking, fast-drying 100% polyester (54% recycled) with Gladiodor natural odor control. 100% recyclable through our Common Threads Garment Reycling Program. Made in USA.
Features:

• Knit is open for maximum breathability and moisture-management yet insulative enough for active use on chilly days
• Flat-seam construction provides clean, finished look with fine thread for "barely there" seaming
• Self-fabric collar
• Raglan sleeves eliminate chafing from pack straps
• Flat-ribbed underarm and side panels are extra-soft and breathable and provide chafe-free mobility
• Side seams are rolled forward for chafe-free mobility and added comfort under hip belt
• 4-oz. 100% polyester (54% recycled) with Gladiodor natural odor control. 100% recyclable through our Common Threads Garment Recycling Program.
• 156 g. (5.5 oz.)

Wear the lightweight Patagonia Men's Capilene 2 Crew top alone or as a base layer when you hike, trail run, backpack, mountain bike, or cross country ski. Patagonia made this crew top with an open knit for maximum breathability and wicking. Yet, this knit weave also makes this top warm enough for cold weather. Patagonia gave the Capilene 2 Crew flat, out-of-the-way seams that won't chafe or rub underneath pack straps. A slight drop tail keeps your lower back covered, even as you lean forward on your mountain bike. Patagonia's Gladiodor natural odor control keeps you from stinking of sweat.

Stay dry and cool in this highly breathable Patagonia® Capilene 2 base layer. Designed for use in a range of activity levels and temperatures.

Patagonia: Men's Capilene 2 Crew - A versatile essential in any outdoor wardrobe, Patagonia's Capilene 2 Crew features open, highly breathable Capilene 2 knit fabric. The lightweight material allows for unhindered airflow and excellent wicking for endurance activities in warm to moderate temperatures. If you're comparing Capilene numbers, Capilene 2 is the fastest-drying Capilene baselayer available from Patagonia. Hikers and climbers like the low-bulk fabric and tapered fit because it layers well with practically any outerwear (Patagonia recommends pairing their Capilene pullovers with Capilene 3 or Capilene 4 fleece in frigid conditions). Patagonia gave their Capilene 2 Crew a curvilinear construction with seams that refuse to chafe beneath a pack or climbing sling. Capilene 2 is also made from quick-wicking, fast-drying 54% post-consumer recycled (and 100% recyclable) polyester that's treated with Gladiodor™ natural odor control. In a recent research program, Common Threads Recycling Program demonstrated that the environmental impact of recycling worn-out Capilene base layers into new polyester fiber is significantly lower than making that same fiber from virgin materials. When you consider that worn-out garments are diverted from trash incinerators, making new polyester fiber from recycled garments results in an energy savings of 76% and a CO2 emissions (those greenhouse gasses) reduction of 71%, versus creating that fiber from new raw material. It's a design that you can feel good about anywhere on the planet.
