Patagonia Capilene 1 T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's - 2011 BCS

THis is a great product with excellent material quality. Great product for Running, Biking or working out in the gym.

I really like the look of this shirt. The feel is what you would expect from a technical shirt. I'm a bigger fan of the Stoic Breathe shirt, which feels much lighter.

I tried both the medium and the large but couldn't get either to fit right. The large was too loose and the medium was too tight. Really liked the nice lightweight feel of the shirt but just couldn't get it to fit quite right. I'm about 5'11", 170 and have a 33 waist. If you can get it to fit you, I think it would be a great piece.

The Patagonia capilene line is awesome. They haVe four different types of capilene; each for a different weather condition and temperature. The capilene 1 is the lightest. It is made of 100% polyester, which dries very fast. However, the texture and feel is almost exactly like silk.
I take an xl, and I feel like It fits me very well. Most t shirts that I have fit me like a pup tent, meaning they fit ok in the shoulders, but are much too wide around the waist. The capilene 1 fits so much better, so if I don't tuck it in, it doesn't flap in the breeze.
Even though the fabric is thin, it is very durable. As I read the reviews, it sound like most people prefer the cap 2 above the cap 1. However I like the cap 1 better. The reason being that if I don't shave for a day or two and wear the cap 2, my whiskers sometimes rub against the fabric of the shirt and create pilling under the chin and on the shoulders. The cap one has never pilled, even a little bit.
I got most of my cap 1 shirts on sale. Even though I really like them, I'd have a hard time paying full price for them.

I use these as undershirts. They are slim fitting, long enough to tuck, and comfortable. Additionally, the sleeves are short enough so they don't stick out underneath short sleeve dress shirts. The medium fits great (I'm 6'1", 175).

perfect fit!

I bought (2) of the Capilene 1 shirts. They're super lightweight and great for running. However, Patagonia claims they have an odor shield, but I have disagree. If anything the shirts make me smell WORSE than if I was to use a normal cotton t-shirt. Something about the fabric concentrates the smell of BO, even with deodorant. Bottom line: great shirt if you're going to be off the beaten trail, and, hopefully, not around anyone else.

This is a fantastic moisture wicking t-shirt that excels when trail running or riding a bicycle. It is comfortable and has an athletic fit that isn't binding and allows range of motion. Fabric is soft and feels good against your skin.
