It’s cold outside. Are you staying warm while you play in the snow and mountains this season? If yes, good for you! If you’re shivering a tad more than you’re enjoying I have a secret to share: Patagonia Capilene.
Capilenes are Patagonia’s line of baselayers. They are 100% polyester of which at least 50% is recycled. Some are 100% recycled! This is a highly breathable, quick drying material. They range in weight from the silky Capilene 1 to the cozy yet light Capilene 4. Cap 1 is so light that it can be worn alone in hot weather. It also offers 15 UPF sun protection. Cap 2 is a little heavier weight baselayer that will keep you dry and warm during breezier winter days. I wear this weight most often. Cap 3 is ideal for moderate exertion in cool to cold weather. Cap 4 is excellent for stop-and-go activities in cold weather. I always have on my Cap 4 ¼ zip on frosty winter mornings at the campsite.
Also, due to Patagonia’s awesomeness, they established the Common Threads Garment Recycling Program in 2005. Originally, this program was meant solely for the recycling and reuse of Patagonia Capilene garments. In addition to Capilenes, you can now recycle Patagonia fleece, Polartec fleece of any brand, Patagonia T-shirts, and any other product with the Common Threads tag. The recycled garments are reincarnated into another high-quality Patagonia item. You can recycle your garments here at Trailsloggers!
Come into Trailsloggers today and invite Capilenes on all your adventures this season. Don’t forget to bring in your worn out Capilenes, and allow them to be reborn into something new!
