Capilene baselayers are the best option for high-sweat activities and wet conditions.

We make four Capilene fabrics for different levels of exertion and temperatures; it is a moisture-wicking polyester fabric that keeps you warm even when wet and dries quickly. Capilene polyester is also recycled, recyclable and features Gladiodor® natural odor control.
