Patagonia Capilene 4 Bottoms

Women's Clothing > Fleece & Base LayersRated: ***** by 12 reviews. Also available for: Men

Massey's Outfitters

Our warm, dry Capilene 4 Bottoms are built for running, class IV drops and dodging swirling whirlpools on icy-cold days. The soft, brushed waistband (with a drawcord) won't bind or chafe, and the plush grid interior traps heat while wicking efficiently so you stay dry. With a contoured fit that's feminine and sleek. Made of 50% recycled (and 100% recyclable) polyester from our Common Threads Recycling Program, with a Gladiodor natural odor control finish. Imported.

Common Threads Recycling Program
Research 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.

Performance Baselayers
Patagonia Performance Baselayers now offer two approaches to the single goal of staying dry: Capilene polyester with recycled content and all-natural merino wool.

Mountain Gear

Winter camping won't look so daunting when you slide into Patagonia's Capilene 4 Bottoms constructed with breathable Polartec Power Dry fleece that wicks moisture from your skin so that it can evaporate before you get chilled. When the aerobic effort is high, you'll stay dry in the wicking fabric and when you downshift the energy it'll keep you snug and warm - all while you stay stink-free with Gladiodor natural odor control that stops the formation of odors. Specifications based on size Medium.

Features:

  • Don't chuck these into the wastebasket when they're worn to the barest thread, contribute to Patagonia's Common Threads Garment Recycling Program instead
  • Keep yourself as warm as a Capilene baselayer can keep you with Capilene 4 crafted from Polartec Power Dry that wicks moisture from your skin so you don't end up cold and chilled
  • Move with ease, the fabric has just enough Spandex for an athletic fit; plus, it's super-breathable thanks to an interior grid structure that also makes it easy to compress
  • Never worry about gaining that backpacking stink with the protection of Gladiodor odor control that naturally mitigates the formation of odors
  • Slide into the slim-fitting 4-panel construction easily and layer it with a mid-layer and shell pants - the smooth jersey face slides beneath other layers without getting rumpled
  • Stay comfy around the midsection with the elastic waistband that's brushed for next-to-skin comfort

Warm and comfortable

Rating:*****
I bought these bottoms just for everyday use, I'm not devoted to some winter sport or anything like this. But I was born and spent the majority of my life in Siberia. We say there that real Siberian is not the person who never is cold, but the person who wears warm clothes :) And now I live in Wisconsin, where is cold enough in winter. I liked the inside of these bottoms from the very first sight, and they hadn't disappointed me: they are nice and cosy to skin and warm enough for Wisconsin winter to wear with jeans.

Wonderful warm tights

Rating:****
When I unpacked these I'll admit I was a bit skeptical that these thin little tights would help keep me warm but was delighted to find that their addition made all the difference in my comfort in cold winter water. I ordered the extra large because I fall in between Large and extra large. The extra large are quite loose on me at the waist and thoughout the leg but there is no way I'm sending them back for exchange. I fish too often and won't go unless I have them on!!!
Ladyfish at Patagonia on 11/15/2008

perfect!!

Rating:*****

I LOVE these!! I wear them as pants. They are thick enough to keep me warm but don't look bulky nor too tight. They complement my shape and the waist is nice and loose. I ordered them in 2 sizes so I could have a more relaxed pair and a pair that would look great around town.

Bought One...Bought Two More

I needed new ski/snowshoe bottom layer. Bought these for that purpose, and I love them so much I wear them lounging or working around the house. I don't feel or look like I'm wearing longjohns...they're cute!

warm, formitting base layer

Surprised how warm they are. I wear with the Capilene 4 top. On really cold days, I add the biostretch tights. The combination is great and not bulky.
