Patagonia Women's Capilene 2 Lightweight Bottoms

i bought these because there weren't any more wool bottoms that i liked in my size on sale, and am pleasantly surprised. i thought i had gotten spoiled by wool baselayers but find these to be warm, comfortable, and they don't seem to smell (not sure how they'd be on an underarm though.# i've been wearing them at home since our house is rarely above 58. i'm usually a size 6 but bought a medium because i'm tall-ish and was afraid the crotch might be too short. the medium is perfectly form-fitting, not too short or pulling in any area. i'd recommend sizing up if in doubt. just washed them however, and put them up on the line as we don't have a dryer. seems that the waistband -- well, half of it and the part that wasn't under the clothespins -- is now a much lighter shade of turquoise than the rest. i know some fabrics say to dry away from direct sunlight but it's always so damp around here and i was desperate and wanted to take advantage of a sunny day. it only took a few hours but at least they were hanging inside out. i realize there are cleaning instructions inside #and i do appreciate tagless so much!) but they are impossible to read, and even though we've actually put the symbol "translator" chart on our wall, i'm still too lazy to figure out what all the symbols mean. i just wash everything in a cold, short, delicate cycle and hang to dry, for the most part. anyway, the inner waistband really doesn't show but it did sort of surprise me so be careful if you really care about the color of your waistband. next time i will hang the bottoms facing the other way and arrange the clothespins in such a way that the fading becomes even all around!!

layer fairly well under jeans. i bought them because i get cold easily. they ride up on the leg a little and can get annoying but i think that's true any time you're wearing more than one layer of anything. i'm not quite 5'3" so i have room to grow into them if i need it. =) i have thick thighs and a little junk in my trunk so i got the med even though a small might have fit. didn't want to take the chance and now i kinda wish i did. also, i like to wear my stuff low rise. based on the picture, it seemed like it would be but it's definitely high on me. =( often, i just fold it down. i'm sure the higher rise will come in handy when it's truly cold and i'm wearing it camping instead of out and about. keeping anyway unless i take the time to order the small just to try for sizing comparison.

I wanted to get a pair of long underwear that I could wear in the 20-40 degree range that would keep me warm without overheating. I have had these for about a month and they are perfect in every way, except the stitching along the front seam is unraveling. There is also a tiny hole along the front seam. I've worn them about 10 times and washed them about 3 times. I have a couple of pairs of Women's Capilene 3 Bottoms which I have had for a year and a half. Both of those are still fully intact. I don't know if I can get this pair repaired for free since I have already worn them quite a bit. Still, I don't think wearing them 10 times should cause them to start falling apart.

I commute by bike or foot to both work and school in Coastal Alaskan weather. P.S., I used to live in Interior Alaskan weather, which is much colder. Overall, these long underwear are perfect. I wear them under everything, and they definitely keep me warm. As a style note; I like that they come in a lot of cool colors, so they make some of my more worn pants look kind of cool, but the BEST part about these is that they are effectively breathable and moisture wicking, they do not ever smell funky, and they are very lightweight. Perfect for anyone who is consistently out no matter what the weather. I like these so much that I ordered a pair of the 3s for even colder days. Buy them.

Yeah, it's kind of ridiculous. The only other Patagonia product I own that many of are sports bras. We keep the thermostat pretty low in the winter to cut energy costs (like 62-degrees low), and I've found that Cap 2 bottoms are ideal for wearing around the house as pants and to sleep. I've also taken them backpacking in the fall, and they've been plenty toasty for autumn nights outdoors. Having a heat radiator of a tentmate helps too. I'm only 5'3" or so, and the length, though generous, works well for me. Which is more than I can say for Patagonia's regular pants, unfortunately.

Great leggings. Elastic band isn't too tight to that it cuts into you but yet it keeps them up. I am 5'7 and these are long enough. Material seems to be of a high quality. Thin enough to be worn under work clothes so that nobody can tell your wearing long johns. I like how they were packaged so that they don't take up too much room which is environmentally friendly. I bought 2 pairs, one 2 and one 3 for different degrees of cold weather.I like moosejaw's cookiness and their fun packaging which is compact. The item also arrived when predicted.

My original Capilene Bottoms have finally worn out. They must be over 10 years old. They were a light heather grey color, but I have not been able to find this color, so I thought I would try these. The Capilene 2 Bottom is very similar, except for the color. The large size fits pretty well; I'm 5'6" and about 150 pounds. I usually wear size 12-14, medium or large, depending upon the style. They fit well under pants, for everyday casual wear, snug but not too tight. The fabric is a good weight, not too bulky for packing in a suitcase.

I generally love Patagoinia's Capilene long underwear. I have for years as they are useful for all types of winter sports but this version is a little ichy. I think I should have ordered the cap 3 version as this is a little thin and too much like their silk weight style. I ordered these for wearing under jeans in zero to negative degree weather but they do not keep me as warm as my older pair of Patagoinia's cap. Zappos is still the fastest way to mail order a pair!

I bought two pairs of these pants along with the matching shirts. They are quite comfortable and true to size. I'm a size 2 / 4 and the small is perfect. My only complaint is that after 3 uses I already have a hole one one of the seams. So far the other pants have been fine so maybe this is a quality control issue ? I love the bold colors but would also love to have them in a heather grey and winter white.
