From Backcountry.com:
"Patagonia made the wicking Men's Capilene 4 Zip-Neck base layer for stop-and-go activities in cold conditions. Stay warm with your belay jacket over the low-bulk Capilene 4 Zip-Neck while your partner's on the ice, and then pull on a softshell and you'll be free to move in this highly insulating, stretchy base layer when it's your turn to climb. Patagonia made the Capilene 4 base layer with a jersey face and flat seams for easy layering and to eliminate chafing. A drop tail keeps your lower back covered, so heat stays in. A chest pocket keeps small items accessible, even if you're wearing bibbed ski pants or a backpack. The neck zipper lets you dump heat when you exert, and Gladiodor natural odor control keeps the stink at bay."

Made of 50% recycled (and 100% recyclable) polyester from our Common Threads Recycling Program, with Gladiodor natural odor control. Imported. Common Threads Recycling ProgramResearch shows that the environmental impact of recycling worn-out Capilene base layers into new polyester fiber is significantly lower than making that same fiber from virgin materials. Taking into account that worn-out garments are diverted from trash incinerators, making new polyester fiber from recycled garments results in an energy savings of 76% and a CO2 emissions [greenhouse gasses] reduction of 71%, versus creating that fiber from new raw material. Capilene Core Performance Capilene base layers afford quick-drying, next-to-skin moisture management for all activities in all conditions ? from high-altitude bivies to sun-soaked water sports.

Women's Capilene 4 Zip-Neck
Reviewed by Michelle, Jul 30, 2007

"This is THE staple of my winter wardrobe. I think my friends get sick of seeing me wear these. They are spendy when they aren't on sale, but you can't beat the warmth, sooo warm. Worth every single penny.

One thing that is important to mention: if you don't really NEED the warmth of Capilene 4, and you think you will be sweating a lot, Capilene 4 will make you too hot."
