I need a base shirt that keeps me warm and wicks away the moisture while running in northern Michigan in the winter and the Capilene thermal shirt does great as a layer.
I have some older medium weight cap. long underwear and this new product I really like as it is nice and long a little stretchy so it fits better and the little loops in the sleeve work well
AAA rated from me
My spouse loves it and so do I! We use it under outdoor clothes---we use it as indoor clothes as we work from home. Fit is great for comfort and for exercise. Take your pick...
I wear this mainly as a base layer under a bicycle jersey. Breathes very well, keeps you warm without overheating.
I also like to wear this as a standalone casual shirt. comfortable and looks nice.
Patagonia's capilene thermal weight layers are so phenomenal. The cut/fit is great, really comfortable, no bulkiness, the thumb loops are incredibly welcome, and the fabric is much warmer than one might think just holding it, but with an outer layer and/or shell it really does provide incredible warmth, but even more importantly to me: incredi...

I tend to run hot and sweat easily during medium-to-high output activities, so I absolutely need breathability in cold weather and the cap thermals breath SO well and I'm able to perfectly manage heat buildup.
I wear this regularly for outdoor activities, but the crew neck version is my go-to for cold weather snowboarding when I'm wearing my R1 on top of this under my shell. Home is Vermont so it gets cold. The crew neck version keeps the bulk away from my neck with the R1's collar. Just perfect.
I'm 5'9'' 175 and fit is close fitting but not snug, moves overhead or reaching forwards well despite kayaker shoulders. Not quite as soft as the old, old stuff but packs small for it warmth due to the waffle. It's a really airy shirt - like not very warm on it's own but then way more so under a T-shirt or shell.

Zip a Houdini or puffball over it for the start of the adventure, Drop the zipper... then shed the jacket along the way to feel the cool wind blow the sweat out, zip back up for the sunset snacks with friends at the day's end. Holding up well so far but I'm pretty careful.
True to size and kept me warm in frigid 11 degree weather!
I'm 5'1 weighing at 136 lbs. medium build.
What I like about Patagonia is that XS fits me with no alterations needed! I don't have to go and get this tailored which just time consuming and more money. I'm really sick of having to do this. Patagonia is just one of those rare companies that doesn't just develop for the avera... Read Morege person, they know how to size across different builds/body types!
At the time of this review, Missouri had just gone through its first day of 11 degree weather accompanied with a snow storm! I had just moved from California three months ago so getting adjusted to the weather can be a lot of "fun". Luckily, having this thermal weight crew top and bottom helped to keep me warm at work and when I'm adventuring/exploring Missouri wilderness. When combined with the Nano Puff jacket, I stayed warm!
It;'s a perfect base layer. Soft feel on the skin, very warm. So good, I bought two thermal weight zip-Ts to go with it. Purchased it to use as a base layer for outdoor photography in Alaska and Northern Canada.
This is my second thermal weight cap shirt. These shirts fit so well and are so soft. I’m 5’10”, 165 lbs, and I have 2 size larges. The mediums fit too much like a base layer and I wear mine like sweaters, over a next to skin base layer, during the ski season. And wear them as a light long sleeve during fall and spring backpacking. I wouldn’t chang... Read Moree anything about these.
Got this baselayer and loved it so much I purchased a second one in a different color. I use this for rock climbing when the temps dip below 60 and a t-shirt is too cold, but an R1 fleece is too thick / restrictive. Fit is nice and snug, and think it feels better on skin than wool, which I've always found to be a bit itchy. I throw a houdini o...

The only thing I don't like about this thermal is how much static it generates! I feel like I'm shocking things or people all the time when I wear it. Whenever I coil rope I can feel the static build up. If the designers at Patagonia can figure a way around this that would be huge!
At first I didn’t like the tight fit. I was use to older designs 1,2,3,4 weight. After a few uses, I understood how the form-fitting function pulls moisture from my body without having air pockets. This is really important when active in cold temps. I use this while winter cycling/daily commuting, so I’m constantly moving and need layers that help ... Read Morewith moisture management. It dries quickly and and is comfortable against skin. I typically choose this layer when temps are 15F and below. It’s more of a functional piece and not a shirt I wear on the town.
I really like how the XS fits me (I'm 5'6,140lbs). I wear it under my office shirt and feel so nice and cozy. I would buy 5 of these if they weren't so expensive!
Excellent thermal. This is my second as over the course of two winter my first finally broke down around the elbows where I always rest them on my desk.
I bought this base layer about a month ago before a 3week long snowboarding trip. Best base layer ever,super warm,flexible,dried fast after a wipe out and snows down your back,and best feature is the thumb straps to keep them locked in with the gloves.
the fit is good. i wish the arms were a little longer (maybe 1"),but they are enough. i love the thumb loops at the end of the sleeve. they are minimal,but really effective . i'll have this top in my quiver for years. it was a great purchase for me.
I can wear this thermal weight product out cycling for 3 hours in low to mid 30's temps with just this and my Adze jacket and stay totally warm. It is a marvel!
I wore one today on a cold blustery day of fishing out on Cape Lookout in North Carolina. This thing is ridiculously warm for its feather weight. Finger stirrup is a nice touch. Time will tell how it holds up,but after one trip I am very impressed.
This Capilene 4 crew is phenomenal in the sense that it's not only very warm and technical, but also because it's so good looking (at least the black version that I have) that it elegantly replaces a more urban garment you may take to go to a restaurant during a trip. It's also excellent for intense activities like running in cold co... Read Morenditions. I love to wear it in my tent either in the evening or early morning and I also use it a home as a transition between my bed and the day while having breakfast.
I disagree with an earlier review which stated that this thermal weight crew is not warm. This shirt is a tight fitting base layer piece designed to be worn under other layers, and can be quite warm. This thermal layer is not very warm worn alone or under a loose jacket, and wind will cut right thru it... the shirt is designed to be worn as a base ... Read Morelayer, not as a sweatshirt.
I think this shirt should be quite useful as a thermal layer for being active outdoors in the cold for hours. Less useful as a casual piece. This is tighter fitting than the "midweight capilene", not sure why the price is so much more, but the shirt is durable.
I work outside year around and bought this baselayer for that reason. I have been wearing Patagonia baselayers for at least 20 years and still own some of the original ones I bought. This is the first time I've been disappointed. This is suppose to be their warmest baselayer but I would not recommend wearing it if it's colder than 40 degr... Read Moreees out. I have capilene 3's from a couple of years ago that are much warmer. You can hold this shirt up to the light and see through it. I guess that would be great if it kept you warm but doesn't. It doesn't even compare to the capilene 4's or expedition weight baselayers from a few years ago. To much effort to make this shirt high tech and very lightweight took away the most important feature - warmth.
