cap 3 bottoms

These are great - they do get warm with significant aerobic activity. But they are the perfect layer for hiking. Allows you to go with a soft shell pant and stay plenty warm like today.

Toasty when the weather turns cold

Bought these for my college-student daughter at school in Mass. Word back from her is that this long underwear from Patagonia is perfect as a base layer when the temperature drops! Getting ready to order more for the winter. Definitely recommend!

really great for all conditions

I wear these pants under almost anything in the winter, snowpants, jeans, or just by itself when I go hiking or cross counrty skiing. I used them when I went to Iceland and they stood up agianst the cold and wind. Highly recommend them!

This layer, the Cap 3, will be good for high activity in bitter cold, or more leisurely activity in cool weather. I am right there with her, she looks great, and they are warm and shapely too! Having already washed them once, I'll say we simply hung them up (do not machine dry these) and they were dry within minutes. Niceness!

Great Base Layer

I purchased these for my wife to tends to be cold when we go to the cabin in the winter. She wore these non-stop, including for our outing in the snow. She said the base layer felt light, even under jeans. She slept in them comfortably and said they could also easily be worn as a single layer. Quality has been holding up nicely with washing for a few months now.

These bottoms run large. Better to order them a size down. Excellent wicking in moderate temperatures. I do think that Capilene 4 will be better and more comfortable for cold weather if you want to feel warmer. Over all, nice made bottoms.

This new version patagonia Capilene 3 is much better than I thought. Although it fits me a little large, it 's still very comfy and warm. Most of all, it's still excellent in wicking. Of course, it has a high quality, like other Patagonia items. I am very satisfied with it.

warm but loose!

I'm a size 6 and chose the small size but it's still so loose around the hips, thighs, and calves that the material clings to my dress pants. I now use them underneath jeans instead, and it really keeps me warm. I'm planning to buy another one but this time XS.

Should last for years

Great comfort and durability. Color was a little off as compared to the long sleeve crew top of the same color though. I have Patagonia midweights from 15 years ago that are still like new.

Got these for my wife - she runs dog agility throughout the winter and was looking for something to go under her waterproof pants. Prior to these she used an old pair of silk "long johns". She loves the upgrade. I knew they would work well for her as I have used these as an under wader layer when I fish for years. Can't go wrong with Patagonia!

Perfect for below-freezing weather

I got my first opportunity to try these out during morning temps of 2 degrees this week, and they kept me toasty warm. In black, these are flattering and the medium fits very well. I usually wear size 10 pants, and didn't know whether I'd need a large, but the medium was just fine. These are a great value, and a good investment for this time of year.
