My favorite base layer for the winter months. Perfect to wear by itself during the fall too. The thumb loops are so clutch! I love that feature for this garment. Thank you Patagonia for making a product geared for colder months. I love the Capilene collection!
This is a comfortable mid-weight shirt that can go alone or as an under-layer. Perfect for casual wear or hiking and running. Dries quickly. Like the dark red color.
Ive been pairing this with the Women's R1 Air Full-Zip Hoody in 35-40F weather with wind in PA for hikes and it's been a winner!

When the weather gets colder (below freezing like 0-10F), I've paired this with my macropuff and I am plenty happy! I love how breathable this is while keeping in your heat when moving.
I like the way the baselayer lays against my body, especially when there are multiple layers. It moves with me, and with the multiple on/off movements, it still holds its shape and doesn't start to bulge/stretch out. I don't have to bulk up as much with this baselayer to stay warm, and I appreciate that a lot as I have more movement outsi... Read Morede.
I received this a few weeks ago, have only had the chance to wear it around the house, but so far it fits nicely and kept me warm indoors on an especially cold day.

Hi Alyssa, thank you for submitting this review, and we hope your Capilene Midweight Crew top will serve you well in the outdoors too! The Thermal Weight and Midweight Capilene lines are both designed to be warm, with a smooth surface that's great for layering, but the Midweight is more wicking, while the Thermal Weight has more stretch. Please let us know if we can be of any further help!

Perfect layer for every activity
I just purchased my second set of the capilene base layers. They are perfect for any activity - I wear them as a ski base layer, when I go backpacking, on my outdoor runs when its chilly...even under a vest as I run around and do errands. Buy these!

I got this top for running in and wearing under sweaters-it is ideal for both.

Breathes great
Used this on a week long trek in the Dolomiti where it was 50-65deg Fahrenheit, rainy at times, in crowded huts and it held up well.

I love this base layer and have the black as well as this rose color. Like the quarter zip, I would really love to see more standard colors like navy, dark red, olive, gray.
I use this top for snow sports, its warm and comfortable and the material is thick enough that I can strip down to this base layer when over heated. The reason why I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is that for me it is not a no-stink top. I have to wash it every time I use it and throw in some oxy to get the smell of my perspiration out of the arm pits.
Perfect, fits as if tailored just for me, comfortable, stylish.
I purchased this to wear as a jammie top and it is comfy as can be. I could use it as outerwear, as I have used other capiline tops, but this purchase was specifically for just around the house.

Good quality medium weight shirt
I live in NY and this is a perfect shirt to wear when running in winter time. I am 54 and 115lb and could fit both XS (on a bit snug side) and S comfortably.
Soft, well made and with a cute pattern. I bought this for XC skiing but its cute enough to wear on its own with a pair of jeans. I live in far north Minnesota so warmth is key when skiing and this fits the bill. Love Patagonias merch.
Thanks for the feedback Rebecca! You're welcome to exchange it for a different size. We're also always happy to provide garment dimensions prior to purchase.

Hi Julie, thanks for taking the time to write a product review and we're very sorry to hear about your experience with the Capilene Midweight Crew Neck Shirt. We resonate with your frustration and please know we take this feedback seriously. We have no doubts that people of all shapes and sizes get outdoors and can benefit from our clothing. Over the past several years, we've begun to expand our sizes and it is our goal to continue this to make our clothing more accessible. For context, our items come in three different fits - slim, regular, and relaxed. The Capilene Midweight Crew Neck shirt is intended to be a baselayer, which means it is meant to fit next to skin or with a close fit to the body for insulating reasons. It is also a slim fit item so you may be better off going for a different product if you're not a fan of this cut. You could consider checking out the [Long-Sleeved Capilene Cool Trail Shirt](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-long-sleeved-capilene-cool-trail-shirt/24491.html?dwvar_24491_color=CNY&cgid=root) which is relaxed fit. Of course if you aren't satisfied, you are always welcome to return this. We hope to not disappoint you in the future.

so very pretty and comfortable
I am a picky shirt buyer, and usually buy wool but decided to give this shirt a go. WOW, is it warm! I mean, for the lightweight feel of it it is soft and warm. Neckline is just right. And the color is beautiful - between dark blue and purple. The permanent anti-stinky treatment closed the deal. Go for it!!
I am 5'5", 150 lb, in my seventies. I first ordered XL as that usually gives me the comfortably loose fit I want. But XL hung on me like a sack, so I exchanged for L. Sadly, L is form-fitting on me, not the look I'm after these days. Epic fail. I love the fabric and the colors, but the fit simply doesn't work for me.
Hello Beverly, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry the fit did not work out. You are welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) the shirts at your convenience. We are always happy to provide garment measurements for reference.

bit strange fit
I do like this shirt but not so sure about athletic slim fit on a not so athletic person :) Found the fit a bit odd thru the arm pits. Fabric is a bit see thru. Yes I like this enough to order another.
This is not only a nice looking shirt and fabric pattern, but a great fit. Medium weight so a bit warm for summer hiking, but great for the rest of the year. I bought it for my mom for her birthday and liked it so much I'm going to get one for myself too....
I love these base layers. They are perfect for backcountry skiing. Even though mid-weight, they are actually pretty light and are warmer than you would think.

Unused this top for a hike in VT. It is true to size. It feels nice on the skin and it is great to layer up. The color is very nice. I highly recommend it.
I wear this piece frequently - running, working, hiking, and more. I am right in between sizes (S-M), so the small I wear is just a little bit too tight.

I had to return this item. Im 5 5 and 125 pounds. I have a straight and narrow body type. Ive left similar reviews for other items. My perfect size lies right in the middle of a M and L. This M was too snug. I returned it, but could not get the L in the color I wanted. I do love the capilene material... so soft on the skin.
Cute shirt but it fit too tightly around my tummy, which has been my observation with other Patagonia womens wear. Im 5 4 and 127 lbs and still felt like it was too slim to be flattering. Sorry I had to return this one. Would love to see a more forgiving fit.
I wear this with a wool base layer over, like Smartwool 250. Then a puffer vest for hiking or puffer jacket for skiing. The capilene is comfortable, light and warm and protects my skin from the wool, which is always itchy for me.
Bought this midweight crew on sale. It was a great deal. Perfect base layer for cold winter runs. Wicks moisture and keeps me warm at the same time. Wear on cold morning runs when temperatures have been in single digits.
This top is warm but very light. It washes beautifully and dries quickly. It's great for

As a Muslim woman I adhere to guidelines that call for me to be covered. As an extremely fair skinned person covering saves me from a world of hurt.

I will start by saying how much I love Patagonia and their products. However, the base layers do not fit my body type. I originally ordered large top, medium bottom (my normal sizes) in the thermal weight. The thermal weight sizes I got were HUGE. So I spoke with a super friendly customer service agent who helped me exchange for a size down, I ende... Read Mored up deciding to go with the mid weight instead because the bottom cuff on the pants looked like it would go better in a ski boot. So I got medium top and small bottoms, they were WAY too small. I don't know whats up with the sizing with these items, but I guess they just arent designed for my body type of thick thighs/ butt, and long arms/broad muscular shoulders with a small waist. The material of both styles were great, and if the shirt/pants fit your body type I think they would be a great base layer. Customer service reps helped me multiple times to exchange and then ultimately return everything. Hands down best customer service I have ever dealt with.
I bought this base layer shirt to keep me warm and dry on winter runs. I go for 4-5 hour runs in 20 degree and colder weather and this shirt keeps me warm. I still sweat when I run even when its so cold and this shirt keeps me dry. Its the best base layer Ive found.
Fit well and warm. Kept me super warm while shoveling snow for at least an hour or just hanging out wearing only this under my down jacket in freezing temps. Thumb loops are helpful for gloves. The pattern on the shirt is ok... wouldnt wear it outside of winter or by itself, but it was on sale.
Love the light blue color on the sleeves and pattern on the front. Ive worn as a base layer for cold weather workouts as well as underneath my tee shirts for casual wear. Washes great & I air dry it. Comfortable fit but not tight.
This was the ideal layer for skiing uphill in warm temps (~30-40s).

Thank you Patagonia for saving me!! Truly, I think you saved me from getting dangerously close to hypothermia. Maybe I'm being dramatic, but I'd prefer not to find out how I'd fare without this layer!
Very interesting material- wasnt sure how I felt about it. Seems thin. BUT whoa!!! Totally works! I use it as a base layer along with a mid (with outside temp range 10-30 degrees) and found myself sweating. After removing my mid, I expected to be slightly cold but it dried very quickly so it was a non-issue. I absolutely love it!
I bought this shirt to wear for running and as a base layer for casual/work winter outfits. This shirt does a marvelous job of keeping me warm but comfortably ventilated.

I would definitely recommend this shirt to others and I will definitely buy more.
I find this top to be extremely uncomfortable. It is something in the actual material and the seams. I had to take this off after 2 hours of wearing. Ugh never again do I want this shirt against my skin. I do not find it comfortable or good for movement.

Lightweight but cozy
I love this top alone for a chilly run or a fall hike. Its also a great base layer for winter hiking. The shirt is lightweight, but traps heat well. The navy color is also very vibrant and pretty. In a perfect world, the sleeves would be a bit longer, but I definitely plan on buying this top in other colors.
I wear these all day in the wintertime with the matching bottoms and they are perfect for staying warm and not sweating or being uncomfortable because of the fit under jeans.
This is great base wear. Not sweater like, but warm like a sweater. I wear them under my scrubs and actually stay toasty. Will be perfect under ski gear. They are thinner than other base layers but warmer

Beautiful shirt
I have not worn this yet, since it hasn't been cold enough, but I'm sure I'll love it when I do. It's a beautiful shirt and can be worn as a layer or by itself (it's too beautiful to hide as a layer under clothes).
The Capilene Midweight Crew Neck Shirt is a great single layer in cold weather or baselayer for very cold weather. It's comfortable, durable, and offers just the right amount of warmth. Also, it can be worn several times before needing to be washed.
This top is great, goes well with the matching bottoms. Lightweight and breathable, but also keeps you warm. I wear this under my work gear, anytime Im outside during the winter, running, doing yoga, basically always. Its great.
I live in the midwest, and am always cold. I bought this as a base layer for snowshoeing, but have been wearing it almost daily under my Patagonia fleece. My only complaint is that the arms are too long. I have long arms, and end up rolling the sleeves up 2 inches so they dont stick out of my cuffs. I will definitely be purchasing more of these!
I used this baselayer for x-country skiing in Colorado. The temperature was about 37F and it felt so warm that it worked as a standalone layer for the uphill.

Ladies who lift or rock climb should probably size up to get more room/freedom of movement in the shoulders/arms. I'm 5'7", 135 lbs, and based on my measurements should be a small. I went with a medium, and it fits just right for a climber's upper body.
The medium fits great. Love the thumb slips to keep my sleeves from riding up when putting on another layer. Great for hiking outdoors in the cold. Will be using for an upcoming ski trip!
For running in 35 to 60 degrees, this is the top! It's a layer, but functions well on it's own. I love all Patagonia Capilene and would live in it every day all day if I could.
