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.

Capilene performance characteristics:

• Quick to wick, quick to dry
• Designed for fast-forward, aerobic activities
• Features Gladiodor natural odor control
• Made with recycled polyester (50% recycled content or more)
• 100% recyclable*
• Machine washable

We offer four Capilene fabrics:

• Capilene 1 is the silkiest and can be worn alone or as a baselayer
• Capilene 2 is a great weight for aerobic use in mild to cool conditions
• Capilene 3 is a versatile, do it all baselayer for active use in cool to cold conditions
• Capilene 4 is our warmest Capilene fabric. It features an inside-facing grid pattern that disperses moisture, aids in compressibility and retains warmth in cold conditions

Capilene baselayers are recycled and recyclable:

• Made with more than 50% recycled polyester, derived in roughly equal measures from soda bottles and fabric scraps
• 100% recyclable through our Common Threads Recycling Program
• Since spring 2007, Capilene fabrics have included old Capilene garments (recycled into virgin-grade polyester) collected through our Common Threads Recycling Program

* Capilene baselayers can be recycled through our Common Threads Recycling Program. Learn how
