Product Information Product Footprint
Ice climbers and alpinists know the pitfalls of sweaty leads and cold belays. Designed to manage the extremes of high-output exertion in cool to cold conditions - and keep you dry and warm beneath layers - our most versatile and fastest-wicking performance baselayer features a dense interior honeycomb construction that's brushed for next-to-skin softness, warmth and compressibility. With a smooth jersey exterior that glides readily beneath layers, a flat-seam construction that eliminates chafe, a brushed-elastic waistband and a gusseted crotch with a functional fly. Made from 4.8-oz 100% polyester (64% recycled) with Gladiodor® natural odor control for the garment. Recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program.

Material

Capilene baselayers feature a moisture-wicking polyester fabric that dries quickly. Capilene polyester is also recycled, recyclable and features Gladiodor® natural odor control.

Technology

Gladiodor natural odor control is a safe, durable, nonpolluting and effective alternative to heavy metal ions. It comprises naturally derived amino acid chains that kill odor-causing bacteria on the product. Say good-bye to the funk factor!

  • The Good:

    Capilene® 3 polyester employs 64% recycled content without sacrificing performance or comfort – and it's 100% recyclable. We've also found a natural way to control odor without reliance on metals or antimicrobials (to which bacteria develop resistance).

  • The Bad:

    To achieve the performance we need –and durability, an important attribute for low environmental impact – we still use 36% virgin polyester.

  • What We Think:

    We're happy to make an important product with 64% recycled content – and 100% recyclable as well. Next step: 100% recycled content, without loss of durability.
