Mmmm...soft
January 25, 2012

Comfortable, soft, non-restrictive, warm...what else are you looking for? Purchased for skiing and would do so again. 4 stars due to price but like anything else if you're willing to pay what they're asking then who are you to complain?

Greetings I have heard great recommendations about Capilene 3 Midweight long underwear. I was looking for warmth with light weight at a reasonable price. Bingo for Patagonia on both tops and bottoms. Regards

Bought this bottom for a ski trip to Korea later in December. I remember that I was too cold the first time I went and too hot the 2nd time I went. This bottom seem to be a happy compromise between those two earlier baselayers. The sizing is exactly as described on the Patagonia website and provides a skin tight fit. So far so good. Let's see how well it holds up at at Yongpyong!

cap 3 by patagonia midweight bottoms
September 20, 2011

Temps are starting to drop in the evening and mornings as we approach fall in michigan, just wore these bottoms for the first time fly fishing for salmon in the betsie river in northwest michigan. I have them in xxl. I am 6' tall, weigh 255 lbs with a 40 inch waist. They fit extremely well under my bootfoot waders. The bottoms provide warmth and moisture control when you need it. For example, early morning fishing required half mile walk to the river with changes in grade. never felt overheated walking with the waders on and once in the water had the warmth needed for being comfortable. I think they did an excellent job on the seams and the waistband, providing the strength and durability you want but without sacrificing comfort. Patagonia does such a great job with the capilene line and they keep finding ways to make it better.

Warm and toasty
June 15, 2011

These are a great pair of long underwear, Patagonia's capilene fabric feels great against the skin, these work well under ski pants for temps around 20+, anything lower would require some extra layering. Love em!

Best baselayer I owned. it 's much better than old version Capilene 3 bottom. It could provide me much warm , moreover, it's very breathable.The reason is that its material is different from old version. This new version is more quick dry. I feel very comfy with it. But it 's a little larger than old one.

Warmest

I've had a lot of different mid weight bottoms, and this particular model of Patagonia is by far the warmest of all. It fits just right, and extremely comfortable. I used them in my recent trip to Tahoe and was well impressed.

Nice Performance!
February 16, 2011

Purchased these for winter trail running and hiking. So far they are working out very well. Nice and warm and the build quality is high. I have a 32" waist and I'm 6' 1" tall. I purchased a medium size and the fit is a little snug and the inseam is on the short side. I wish these came in a tall size. Otherwise, a great performance layer!

Perfect bottoms
February 09, 2011

I spent some time researching online. Read some positive reviews about Capilene. After buying can confirm that reviews I read were absolutely right. These are very comfortable and warm bottoms. At the same time they are very breathable. I tested it last weekend on a sailing trip. Works just great.

Patagonia makes top of the line baselayers for comfort, warmth and moisture wicking. The new Caplilene 3 bottoms are an improvement on prior versions.

Best non wool midweight baselayer available
February 07, 2011

I own 6 full sets of Patagonia`s Midweight Capilene 3. It is the best non wool base layer that I have found! Living here, in the Highlands, you must have warm clothing that is lightweight, comfortable and warm. I wear both the top and bottom every single day as my base layer. Its been a cold and snowy season here this year and this midweight base, in my opinion, is the best you can buy! Order your normal size, you will be glad you did!

Pros: warm wash and dry, extremely comfortable

Great Baselayer
December 31, 2010

I've got about four days experience wearing Patagonia's Capilene 3 Midweight Top and Bottoms. I'm not sure why they are considered midweight as they are as light as can be, can't even tell your wearing them. Both the top and bottoms provided good insulation with excellent wicking characteristics.

Best capilene yet
November 02, 2010

I have worn patagonia thermals for 20+ years, and this new capilene 3 is the best yet. They are alot softer, very breathable, dry out almost immediately, and fit like a glove. They also stretch better than previous capilenes. I would recomend these over any previous capilene, they are significantly improved over last years' capilene 3 and any capilenes' I've owned in the past in the past.

Latest version of the excellent midweight Capilene
October 28, 2010

Patagonia's Midweight Caplilene has been one of the best performing long underwear fabrics for years, and this is their latest version. Warm but also temperature regulating, will not get sweaty. Comfortable and without much bulk. Easy care and durable. With the older versions it is very hard to wear them out, so Patagonia has a great track record. And they got rid of the cliched name on the waistband, class. All around, hard to beat.

Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use, Great value
