Base Layer

Great base layer for skiing

March 19, 2023

Not for colder weather and I live in San Diego

With middle weight in the title and based on reviews I thought this shirt would be much warmer. Its only good as a base layer and needs additional layer to be warm in weather under 55 degrees. Also not a fan of the thumb band. Much prefer other brands for thumb holes that have sleeve cover hand. Returnee shirt

March 22, 2023

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review Mary. We are very sorry to hear that this zip-neck did not provide enough warmth for you. Please note, this is meant to be a baselayer so it is meant to be worn with other layers depending on the temperature you are in. With that said, we would be more than happy to pass this feedback along to our Product Design Team so they can take a deeper look into the thumb loop construction.

Nice workout top

Got this top for workouts--and it's great. Breathes well, has coverage that I prefer, and washes up well. Nice pattern makes it a little more fun.

January 31, 2023

Favorite base layer for the winter

My favorite base layer for the winter months. Perfect to wear by itself during the fall too. The thumb loops are so clutch! I love that feature for this garment. Thank you Patagonia for making a product geared for colder months. I love the Capilene collection!

January 22, 2023

Great product except for length....

I love the quality of Patagonia products and have bought many tops for casual wear and hiking. However given my height 5'1" I always spend too much money shortening the length. It would be great if the sizes were offered for petite sizes... I know I'm not alone in this request.

January 21, 2023

Very Comfortable

The fit is perfect, warm but breathes well, perfect amount of stretch.

January 21, 2023

Multi-use

This is a comfortable mid-weight shirt that can go alone or as an under-layer. Perfect for casual wear or hiking and running. Dries quickly. Like the dark red color.

Love this! Great, breathable, and warm!

Ive been pairing this with the Women's R1 Air Full-Zip Hoody in 35-40F weather with wind in PA for hikes and it's been a winner! I love that there is room for movement and it's just enough on the body enough to not feel constricted but close enough to be on your skin and feel warm. The odor control is okay, need to test it more ;), b... Read Moreut it's a great fit. I am a 40 DD with broad shoulders and biceps and usually wear an XL and this fits awesome! I have the Capilene Cool hoodie and both are right on with sizes (just in case you are wondering if they match in cuts). Great price too! When the weather gets colder (below freezing like 0-10F), I've paired this with my macropuff and I am plenty happy! I love how breathable this is while keeping in your heat when moving.

January 4, 2023

Nice fit with multiple layers

I like the way the baselayer lays against my body, especially when there are multiple layers. It moves with me, and with the multiple on/off movements, it still holds its shape and doesn't start to bulge/stretch out. I don't have to bulk up as much with this baselayer to stay warm, and I appreciate that a lot as I have more movement outsi... Read Morede.

Nice baselayer

I received this a few weeks ago, have only had the chance to wear it around the house, but so far it fits nicely and kept me warm indoors on an especially cold day.

Hi Alyssa, thank you for submitting this review, and we hope your Capilene Midweight Crew top will serve you well in the outdoors too! The Thermal Weight and Midweight Capilene lines are both designed to be warm, with a smooth surface that's great for layering, but the Midweight is more wicking, while the Thermal Weight has more stretch. Please let us know if we can be of any further help!

Perfect layer for every activity

I just purchased my second set of the capilene base layers. They are perfect for any activity - I wear them as a ski base layer, when I go backpacking, on my outdoor runs when its chilly...even under a vest as I run around and do errands. Buy these!

November 18, 2022

Perfect

I got this top for running in and wearing under sweaters-it is ideal for both. I was skeptical about how such a light material could be warm but it has been more than enough for runs in 50 degree or below weather, even without a jacket or wearing only a light jacket.

Breathes great

Used this on a week long trek in the Dolomiti where it was 50-65deg Fahrenheit, rainy at times, in crowded huts and it held up well.

Capilene baselayers are my go to for early season/ late season kayaking

I like to use the Capilene baselayers for early season & late season kayaking, also for snow shoeing and hiking. Good quality.

August 9, 2022

great base layer

I love this base layer and have the black as well as this rose color. Like the quarter zip, I would really love to see more standard colors like navy, dark red, olive, gray.

June 9, 2022

Pretty and practical

Great color and pattern combination, very flattering cut. It feels very pleasant on the skin. Easy to wear and easy to take care of.

March 30, 2022

Great capilene

Wore this skiing in northwest Colorado. I always wear Patagonia capilene and it runs true to size.

March 18, 2022

Definitely Warm

Minimal weight but heavy duty warmth. Easy to wear under a t-shirt to stay toasty on cold days.

March 17, 2022

Lightweight and warm

Excellent base layer and super moisture-wicking. Would highly recommend

March 10, 2022

Warm and comfortable

I use this top for snow sports, its warm and comfortable and the material is thick enough that I can strip down to this base layer when over heated. The reason why I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is that for me it is not a no-stink top. I have to wash it every time I use it and throw in some oxy to get the smell of my perspiration out of the arm pits.

February 17, 2022

Midweight crew

Love it! It's warm, fabric is soft, and I can use it for running, hiking, skiing, or yoga! Keep up the good work!

February 4, 2022

Perfect, fits as if tailored just for me, comfortable, stylish.

I purchased this to wear as a jammie top and it is comfy as can be. I could use it as outerwear, as I have used other capiline tops, but this purchase was specifically for just around the house. I have a capiline top that is at least 15 years old and going strong. I gave my almost-90-year-old Mom several capiline tops and she absolutely loves them....

Comfortable and Warm

In order to be able to participate in outdoor activities in MN, I needed to be able to layer for warmth. Wool itches me so I went with the capilene. The midweight capilene was perfect!

Viva la Raglan Sleeves!

Not soft or warm

I keep trying to replace my original Patagonia Capilene (mid 80s), but nothing I buy new is even close. When its truly cold, thats the only thing I can wear. It hugs the skin and is soft and warm without being thick or like a layer of fleece. This new stuff stays away from the skin a little bit and actually feels colder. It wicks fine, but is not a...

Love this top. So warm and comfortable. The weight is perfect to layer under other clothes. Great for winter in New England, hikes, camping, shoveling snow, anything outside. Ill pretty much be living in these over the next four months.

Good quality medium weight shirt

I live in NY and this is a perfect shirt to wear when running in winter time. I am 54 and 115lb and could fit both XS (on a bit snug side) and S comfortably.

Nice weight for 40-50s with light exercise, or 60-70s being static

Super soft

Lightweight, warm and soft to the skin. Wicks away moisture. Looks good after several washes and dries fast.

Perfect base layer for XC skiing

Soft, well made and with a cute pattern. I bought this for XC skiing but its cute enough to wear on its own with a pair of jeans. I live in far north Minnesota so warmth is key when skiing and this fits the bill. Love Patagonias merch.

Hi Julie, thanks for taking the time to write a product review and we're very sorry to hear about your experience with the Capilene Midweight Crew Neck Shirt. We resonate with your frustration and please know we take this feedback seriously. We have no doubts that people of all shapes and sizes get outdoors and can benefit from our clothing. Over the past several years, we've begun to expand our sizes and it is our goal to continue this to make our clothing more accessible. For context, our items come in three different fits - slim, regular, and relaxed. The Capilene Midweight Crew Neck shirt is intended to be a baselayer, which means it is meant to fit next to skin or with a close fit to the body for insulating reasons. It is also a slim fit item so you may be better off going for a different product if you're not a fan of this cut. You could consider checking out the [Long-Sleeved Capilene Cool Trail Shirt](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-long-sleeved-capilene-cool-trail-shirt/24491.html?dwvar_24491_color=CNY&cgid=root) which is relaxed fit. Of course if you aren't satisfied, you are always welcome to return this. We hope to not disappoint you in the future.

so very pretty and comfortable

I am a picky shirt buyer, and usually buy wool but decided to give this shirt a go. WOW, is it warm! I mean, for the lightweight feel of it it is soft and warm. Neckline is just right. And the color is beautiful - between dark blue and purple. The permanent anti-stinky treatment closed the deal. Go for it!!

Warm

I wore this to northern Oregon coast on a cloudy day, along with a windbreaker jacket. It keep me warm and its lightweight.

Truly midweight

ok, so truth be told, what i was really jones'in for is silk weight. Can't wait to wear this midweight top on cooler days.

Fit Issues for Me

I am 5'5", 150 lb, in my seventies. I first ordered XL as that usually gives me the comfortably loose fit I want. But XL hung on me like a sack, so I exchanged for L. Sadly, L is form-fitting on me, not the look I'm after these days. Epic fail. I love the fabric and the colors, but the fit simply doesn't work for me.

bit strange fit

I do like this shirt but not so sure about athletic slim fit on a not so athletic person :) Found the fit a bit odd thru the arm pits. Fabric is a bit see thru. Yes I like this enough to order another.

June 10, 2021

Awesome shirt!

This is not only a nice looking shirt and fabric pattern, but a great fit. Medium weight so a bit warm for summer hiking, but great for the rest of the year. I bought it for my mom for her birthday and liked it so much I'm going to get one for myself too....

Powerful warmth in a pretty thin layer

I wear this all day at work where I am up and moving indoors. It keeps me warm, but never too warm.

perfect midlayer

I wear this with a wool base layer over, like Smartwool 250. Then a puffer vest for hiking or puffer jacket for skiing. The capilene is comfortable, light and warm and protects my skin from the wool, which is always itchy for me.

Not made for athletically built women

I will start by saying how much I love Patagonia and their products. However, the base layers do not fit my body type. I originally ordered large top, medium bottom (my normal sizes) in the thermal weight. The thermal weight sizes I got were HUGE. So I spoke with a super friendly customer service agent who helped me exchange for a size down, I ende... Read Mored up deciding to go with the mid weight instead because the bottom cuff on the pants looked like it would go better in a ski boot. So I got medium top and small bottoms, they were WAY too small. I don't know whats up with the sizing with these items, but I guess they just arent designed for my body type of thick thighs/ butt, and long arms/broad muscular shoulders with a small waist. The material of both styles were great, and if the shirt/pants fit your body type I think they would be a great base layer. Customer service reps helped me multiple times to exchange and then ultimately return everything. Hands down best customer service I have ever dealt with.

Snowy running

I bought this base layer shirt to keep me warm and dry on winter runs. I go for 4-5 hour runs in 20 degree and colder weather and this shirt keeps me warm. I still sweat when I run even when its so cold and this shirt keeps me dry. Its the best base layer Ive found.

Thank you Patagonia for saving me!! Truly, I think you saved me from getting dangerously close to hypothermia. Maybe I'm being dramatic, but I'd prefer not to find out how I'd fare without this layer!

Surprisingly warm!

Very interesting material- wasnt sure how I felt about it. Seems thin. BUT whoa!!! Totally works! I use it as a base layer along with a mid (with outside temp range 10-30 degrees) and found myself sweating. After removing my mid, I expected to be slightly cold but it dried very quickly so it was a non-issue. I absolutely love it!

Read Morectivity. l like that the shirt doesn't look too casual or sporty, so it's not super obvious I am halfway dressed for a run at work. I am 5'9 and 135 lbs and the XS fit perfectly snug. My arms are too long to use the thumb loops, but I also appreciate that I don't need to fold back a giant portion of sleeve to see my watch the way I do on other running shirts with thumb-caps. My only complaint is the giant tag--I would ask the design team to work on minimizing it or making it easy to remove the tag in future iterations of this shirt. I would definitely recommend this shirt to others and I will definitely buy more.

Favorite shirt!

I have 3 of these capilene shirts. They are my favorite. Warm alone. Thin enough to layer up.

Another favorite!

My first Capilene®Midweight but another favorite to add to my closet. Fits great, looks and feels good.

Fantastic fit

Great fit. Very comfortable!

This was a gift for my daughter in law size small She loved it!

Best Base Layer!

We are spending a ton of time outside - and these shirts are keeping me super warm under my sweaters. I am so grateful - my core is never cold.

Perfect Base Layer for Walking

I love the color and fit. I felt warmer with just the base layer on. I did return the top, because I wanted matching bottoms that were no longer available after I received the top.

Warm, but disappointing fit :(

I was really excited to purchase this shirt after reading multiple positive reviews...and I didn't see that it was listed as a "slim fit". The inside texture feels weird, the sleeves are too long, and the thumb holes are ridiculously large. PLEASE make this shirt in a "regular fit" as well! I'm so tired of spending my ... Read Morehard earned money on outdoor gear that is mostly tailored to skinny women! From reading other reviews on other Patagonia items, this seems to be a common theme. I love this brand and everything it stands for, but please be more mindful of various body types & kinds of fit going forward.

Hi Paula, thank you for taking the time to write us a review! We're truly sorry to hear about the disappointment with the fit of the crew neck. With that said, our base layers typically feature a slim fit so that its easier to layer over the top of them. Nevertheless, we understand that this isn't the best fit for everyone and we really appreciate this feedback. We're going to pass this along to our design crew. Also, your satisfaction is always guaranteed so you're welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html).

Lightweight but cozy

I love this top alone for a chilly run or a fall hike. Its also a great base layer for winter hiking. The shirt is lightweight, but traps heat well. The navy color is also very vibrant and pretty. In a perfect world, the sleeves would be a bit longer, but I definitely plan on buying this top in other colors.

November 19, 2020

So comfortable

I wear these all day in the wintertime with the matching bottoms and they are perfect for staying warm and not sweating or being uncomfortable because of the fit under jeans.

November 3, 2020

Smart purchase

This is great base wear. Not sweater like, but warm like a sweater. I wear them under my scrubs and actually stay toasty. Will be perfect under ski gear. They are thinner than other base layers but warmer

scratchy

Warm and stays dry but scratchy next to the skin. Disappointing, from Patagonia.

Beautiful shirt

I have not worn this yet, since it hasn't been cold enough, but I'm sure I'll love it when I do. It's a beautiful shirt and can be worn as a layer or by itself (it's too beautiful to hide as a layer under clothes).

June 17, 2020

Great shirt

This is a great shirt, true to size, and the green color is beautiful.

Great Midweight Baselayer

The Capilene Midweight Crew Neck Shirt is a great single layer in cold weather or baselayer for very cold weather. It's comfortable, durable, and offers just the right amount of warmth. Also, it can be worn several times before needing to be washed.

April 9, 2020

Perfect all around under top

This top is great, goes well with the matching bottoms. Lightweight and breathable, but also keeps you warm. I wear this under my work gear, anytime Im outside during the winter, running, doing yoga, basically always. Its great.

March 12, 2020

Its perfect!

I live in the midwest, and am always cold. I bought this as a base layer for snowshoeing, but have been wearing it almost daily under my Patagonia fleece. My only complaint is that the arms are too long. I have long arms, and end up rolling the sleeves up 2 inches so they dont stick out of my cuffs. I will definitely be purchasing more of these!

February 24, 2020

Perfect as a baselayer or standalone layer!

I used this baselayer for x-country skiing in Colorado. The temperature was about 37F and it felt so warm that it worked as a standalone layer for the uphill. Very nice piece of clothing to layer up, for example with an R1. I also like that it is long enough in the back. I bought two of them, my favorite baselayers now. Keep the bright colors comin...

Loved this midweight layer

I have some older Patagonia midweight crew shirts but they are really scratchy and not very nice against the skin. This shirt was awesome. Super soft and comfortable against the skin. It was a great base layer for a cold Colorado backcountry ski day, so plenty warm. Also seemed to stay dry even though I was working hard uphill. I am going to order ... Read Moremore because most of my base layer shirts are 20+ years old and falling apart. But I still use them because they are soft. I wish I could trade in my old scratchy Capilene shirts, which I never wear because they are scratchy!

Perfect crew for trail running at altitude

I bought this crew for trail running (fall-winter-spring) at altitude in California, and have really been pleased with it so far. For 45 ºF - 60 ºF, it's great on its own. It definitely keeps you warm even when the sun goes down! When temps dip below 45 ºF, I do find I need another layer, but that's to be expected. I've taken some t... Read Moreumbles on the trails, and its encountered some thorns and brambles, but even after regular 20-mile runs, it's still looking (and smelling!) new. Great job wicking away sweat, and despite weekly long runs in it, I haven't had any issues with chafing yet. Ladies who lift or rock climb should probably size up to get more room/freedom of movement in the shoulders/arms. I'm 5'7", 135 lbs, and based on my measurements should be a small. I went with a medium, and it fits just right for a climber's upper body.

December 30, 2019

Will Buy Again

The medium fits great. Love the thumb slips to keep my sleeves from riding up when putting on another layer. Great for hiking outdoors in the cold. Will be using for an upcoming ski trip!

Awesome multi-season layer

For running in 35 to 60 degrees, this is the top! It's a layer, but functions well on it's own. I love all Patagonia Capilene and would live in it every day all day if I could. As a yoga instructor, I practice 90 minutes every day, and I can easily wear this for my morning practice, and then later on a run or under a sweater. It wicks moi... Read Moresture better than any top I've ever worn and hangs to dry easily, without retaining odor (yay, minimal washing!). This is perfect for all my favorite activities - yoga, running, rock climbing, skiing, white water kayaking, and even layers nicely under a sweater. I am almost 5'4" 122 pounds, and wear a AA or XS bra, and the XS was the perfect fit, not too tight in the shoulders and great arm length. I will but this again and again and love the beautiful Piki Green color!

A Must-Have Item

I swear by the Capilene Mid-Weight Crew for winter running and cross country skiing. On a 20 degree day, all I need is this as a base layer and the Houdini Jacket to block the wind and I am all set. The top is sweat wicking so it doesn't get you wet, and thus colder. I like the version of the shirt I have from 2015, it's a bit thicker, bu... Read Moret they are both great.

An essential baselayer gets better

Now more breathable and comfortable for high output activities, the capilene midweight crew has long been my preferred baselayer for mountain biking, alpine skiing and snowboarding, hiking running and kayaking. Layered over a lightweight Capilene and under a shell, vest or drysuit, the midweight crew gets used all winter as well as the shoulder sea... Read Moresons.

Great multi-use purchase

I bought this for a hiking trip and never wanted to take it off! The shirt is a comfortable material, great and flattering fit (not too snug but not too big), lightweight and easily layered. I really like the thumb hoops at the ends of the sleeves to keep the shirt from moving when layering.

November 16, 2019

Really no stink

I literally wore this several days in a row and was amazed that it didn't stink. Trying it out next on an overseas trip.

November 6, 2019

Love the Capilene Crew!

This is so warm and perfect for my daily hikes in the fall. Can’t wait to wear it cross country skiing. I purchased the icefall - big blue sky in a medium. Great color and fit!

October 27, 2019

Comfortable and stylish

I love this layer! It is warm but breathable. Gorgeous vibrant colors too!
