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.

nice but costly | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
| great for active sports in the winter (below 30 degrees) like skiing or hiking or less strenuous activities in the fall/spring (30-45 degrees), also depends on wind speed. They are very comfortable to wear, easy to move in, and very lightweight. If you are in really cold weather (10 degrees or less) and/or it is real windy, you will need additional insulation. The only negatives for me is the cost and they are not warm enough on their own in below zero weather (unless there is no wind and you stay moving). I thought since this is their warmest rated (Capilene 4) then they would be good for below zero weather on their own so I was a bit disappointed about that but when worn in the right weather, they are awesome! There is no fly on them which is also very nice. | |

Nice enough but nothing remarkable | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
| The material is good; on the thicker/warmer side for a base layer but breathable due to the fabric's grid structure. These would make nice layering tights. They're looser than form-fitting but fit closer than most "loose tights" designed for running, etc. The waist band is separate flat elastic (like a pair of briefs). Maybe using the same fabric as the rest of the garment to cover the elastic would make it look a little less like underwear . My one complaint was that one leg was about one inch shorter than the other. Functionally this probably doesn't matter but aesthetically, it bugged me enough to return them. | |

High quality, not extremely warm | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
| I live in Milwaukee, where it gets very cold, so I wanted a base layer to wear when getting outside. This high quality product does the job, but is also great standalone, to wear around the house or when sleeping. It is a little loose, not as tight as Patagonia lightweight bottoms of the same size. I would have rated it five stars, but when it gets colder (under 40 F) this base layer may not suffice, even though it is rated Capilene 4, in which case I have to combine it with Patagonia lightweight bottoms on the inside. | |

Utah Snowboarding | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
| A week long trip to Utah with solid snowboarding for three out of the four days the men's capilene #4 bottoms performed beautifully. Taking a stint into more of a vagabond the bottoms were merely dried by the fire on a nightly basis and provided the solid layer of protection I needed while enjoying three of Utah's finest mountains and backcountry destinations. They will even give you the courage for 30ft cliff drops knowing that if all else fails, you'll at least have your lower half covered. | |

The best I have bought | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
| I bought these to go on a photo shoot in Romania, and I would have to say this is the warmest layer I have ever bought. I tend to do a lot of standing around waiting- and I was never cold, and actually sometimes I got too hot and had to remove a layer! I highly recommend these to anyone going out in the cold or hates the cold! | |

Windy City Wear | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
I purchased a couple pair to brave the cold winds of Chicago. I was concerned about my knees getting cold and stiff. The fit is very comfortable; there is no cinching in the waist, cutting up the crotch, or itching. They are very comfortable indoors and outdoors. I did not even feel the Chicago winds! | |

| Purchased these to replace a vintage (20 year old) pair of Lifa polypro bottoms. They've performed great, from skiing the Rockies to early morning dog park outings at 10 degrees. Hopefully they'll last as long as the one's they're replacing. Bought the large size, but might have been fine with medium (35 inch waist). | |

Great base layer | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
Stayed nice and warm with the capilene and a north face bib overalls for skiing. It was about 25-30 degrees and was perfect. For colder temps I would probably add another layer to be safe when riding cold lifts. Also they were dry after a long day pushing it. | |

Second Skin | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
| Comfort, fit, and fabric quality are all superb. The waistband is sturdy yet comfortable. Similar to the Patagonia wool bottoms, you quickly forget that you are wearing the capilene 4s. I can wear these bottoms with any pant shell and even jeans without any fit issues. Highly recommended. | |

"Highly recommended" | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
| I took these along with me to Nepal to hike the Annapurna Circuit in March. They are extremely warm and comfortable, even after hiking in them all day long. At night, they definately help keep you nice and toasty warm. Best pair of long underwear I've ever used. | |

a mans long john pant for the coldest of temps and NO fly... | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
| this just doesn't make sense to me.. these are for the COLDEST of temps and uses yet there is NO FLY... so, Patagonia must believe that when in the most extreme of conditions these are to be used in that a man should have to drop everything JUST to relieve himself....when asked, Patagonia customer service said "many men" now want to wear these as PJ's or to jog in and thats why they removed the fly on the current model... Patagonia must now only cater to the "metrosexual" couple of hours a weekend outdoors types and has forsaken the professional guides, fisherman, lumberjacks, patrollers and instructors and every other hard working man.. those metro types should just invest in regular PJ's or running pants and Patagonia needs to go back to it's roots of designing/providing quality gear for "outdoor" users... they were awesome bottoms when they had a fly, fairly useless now for extended cold, cold times (even worse when one remembers needing to have to drink lots of fluids to stay warm/hydrated)... try the Browning Hunderwear, they have a fly in expd weight bottoms.... | |

Not as warm as I thought | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
Fit: 6-4; 235; 36 inch waist. 35/36 inch inseam. XL fit pretty well. A little looser than I wanted, but I have a feeling the small would've been too tight in the thighs and butt. | |

"Good, but not the best Capilene product that I've seen." | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
| ..Got these for Christmas to add to the Capilene arsenal 5 pieces from Cap 1-4 now, and I have to say.. For once I'm not totally impressed. My biggest beefs No easy access for the unit, and the ankle cuffs are very loose with excess material. This makes the snowboarding functionality a pain.. Too much material bunched up in boots causes pain, and the rest stops in the trees require a full trow drop. Not fun in blowing -20 whiteout to say the least! If I had to do over, I would go with a Cap 3 + Cap 2 bottom for versatility. | |

not so warm, no fly! | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
| Supposedly, since the polyester fibers "wick perspiration away from your skin," this underwear should be warmer than cotton underwear in certain situations. However under normal conditions, I have found heavyweight all-cotton long underwear to be warmer. These Cap 4 bottoms do NOT have a fly. Makes them inconvenient. | |

Not too much warmer then cap3 | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
these pants are high quality, they however are not that much warmer then capilene 3 pants. If you are looking for a very warm baselayer pant look elsewhere. | |
