Superb base layer!
One of the primary reasons I bought the new capilene was Patagonia's new anti-odor treatment 'Gladiodor', which uses a treatment derived from chitin, from shellfish shells (cool!). I'm happy to report that this treatment works. In the past couple of months I've used this shirt mainly trail running, but also casually. The funk has been no worse than it would have been with a cotton shirt. This is a huge improvement on previous incarnations of capilene, which developed an exceptionally awful stench in a relatively short time. The fit is slightly formed, not a complete bag, and looks nice. The material is very open weave and breathes exceptionally well, yet still manages to retain some insulative capacity (not much;, the heavier capilenes insulate more, as intended). Very sastisfied with this purchase. Bravo Patagonia!

got it in white, good hot-weather piece
Used it for late summer hiking and distance running into fall. Very comfortable in warmer conditions. Has a nice, light weave. Non-chafing on the long runs.

great shirt.. great as base layer, even better on a hot day
I wear performance t-shirts all the time as I live in southern california and never wear a jacket... patagonia definitely has the right mix of functionality and style..
