Patagonia: Women's Capilene 3 Crew - Altrec.com Product Description:

Our most versatile baselayer for the broadest range of temperatures, quick-wicking Capilene® 3 has a brushed interior that retains heat and a smooth jersey exterior that provides superior glide for snag-free layering. The slightly fitted silhouette affords a bulk-free fit without compromising mobility. Shoulder and side seams on the tops are thoughtfully placed to reduce friction from a climbing sling, pack or luggage straps. The look is streamlined. Made of quick-wicking, fast-drying and insulative 64% post-consumer recycled (and 100% recyclable) Capilene® 3 polyester, with Gladiodor™ natural odor control. Imported. Common Threads Recycling ProgramResearch shows 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. Taking into account 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 [greenhouse gasses] reduction of 71%, versus creating that fiber from new raw material. Capilene® Core Performance®Capilene base layers afford quick-drying, next-to-skin moisture management for all activities in all conditions ? from high-altitude bivies to sun-soaked water sports.

LONG Sleeves. Pros: The material is awesome. The color (Pesto - Nile Blue X Dye) is very pretty. Nice longer length will not show back when bending over, but wish it was still an inch or so shorter because it is borderline too long. Cons: LONG sleeves. I am 5'2" and 118 lbs. (pear shaped, so more weight in bottom and thighs) and got this in a size medium since some reviewers said it was tight. Yes it does have a tighter neck hole & in the shoulders, but once on it seems okay. The body is not as snug as most base layers, but if I go down a size, it might be too tight in the neck. The sleeves are ridiculous and meant for a very tall lanky person. I measured to hopefully help other short girls out there. It is a little over 30" from shoulder to cuff (this if for size medium). To visualize this, when I have it on, it completely covers my hands down to the finger-tips. I have to fold over the cuffs and it comes out to be about 4 1/4" too long. Since the bottom of the sleeves are rolled/folded up that much, it gives a very sloppy appearance. If I push the sleeves up, they just fall down and also looks sloppy so folding is the only solution (or hemming it myself). Not a problem under a jacket or on the slopes, but if I wanted to wear this out in public as a stand-alone, it would look too sloppy. Patagonia, please make this in a more petite version!!!

comfortable and warm Feels great. I wore it recently when sledding with my daughter and it kept me nice and toasty - couldn't believe how great it felt. Love it.
