Positive Reviews:
My constant companion in winter
Very versitile winter underlayer. I wear them from November to early April here in New England. On the really cold days, I wear Cap 3's, but mostly Cap 2's. A low profile makes them excellent under blue jeans. I even wear them (Cap 2's) under my suits at work on cold days. No one in the office notices but me. That is the beauty of these things; the weave is warm but not bulky. I own enough pairs to go a whole week. Superfast drying, exceptionally comfortable. They are my winter second skin; I am never without them. I highly recommend the Cap 2's and the Cap 3's ...your choice depending on the temp.
Best baselayer ever
These bottoms have kept me warm while snowshoeing in Alaska, climbing in Argentina, and riding my bicycle to school in Madison, Wisconsin. When they finally wore out, I sent them in to see if they could be repaired and they sent me a new pair. A good example of why the only time I buy new clothes they have a Patagonia tag on them. Thanks Patagonia!
Great baselayer when the temp drops a bit. Decent to sleep in too. Cap 2 is one of my favorites except the texture is a bit rougher than the other Cap weights. Might be better than Cap 3 since you can ware it more of the year (tops at least) if it weren't for that texture issue.
2 lightweight Capilene Bottoms
I love these bottoms. I use them as the only layer on my legs for running and bike commuting in Chicago's winter, and they keep me perfectly comfortable. I am a little worried that they will lose their elasticity over time, but after 3 weeks of everyday use and 3 launders, they still fit snugly.
great for layering
I bought the M capilene Ltwt Bottoms & tops for my 81 year old father-in-law. He complains that he is always cold....no more complaints. They are thin enough to put under dress pants and shirts. My husband uses both the lightweight & midweight for work.....outside on jobsites...he loves them and recommended them for his father.
Great for cool weather outings
These are very thin, so they are not really meant for cold weather activities except for high endurance activities that don't require much down-time (e.g. nordic skiing). They do perform very well though in cool weather. Also, these probably shouldn't be purchased by someone who is very hard on clothing since they are so thin.
Still the industry standard
The Cap 2 and 3 bottoms are both excellent and versatile in the cold winter months. In addition to outside hiking and yard work excursions, in recent years I have started wearing them under my normal work pants for my cold commute to work on my motorcycle in the morning. Very nice.
Superb
As usual (I've been using Capilene 2 bottoms and tops for over 25 years) they get the job done. I can wear them in the office or the van and step out onto a bitterly cold crime scene and not feel any discomfort. Now if you only made Capilene 2 socks!!!
When the weather changes...
Cap. 2 is what ya turn to! I find that these actually make the best cool to cold weather baselayer for movement. I never hike without them. Even when the "let's stop for ah moment" breaks last longer than expected, no worries about sweat turning cold!!
Essential base layer
The Cap 2 lightweight bottoms are an essential part of my layering strategy. I have been using them for years, mostly for snowboarding and general cold weather wear, both in the mountains and around town. They are warm, lightweight, breathable, comfortable and durable.
Negative Reviews:
not impressed
I bought these to wear under jeans and khakis for long morning walks through campus in 30 degree weather and for playing horse shoes in the backyard in about the same type of weather. Unfortunately, these are not sufficient for that. The calf area is extremely loose on me, which is the fatal flaw. The material doesn't do a great job keeping you warm if it is not directly touching the skin. I even sized down in fear of this, but still loose. For me, I would wear these for 40-50 degree weather, maybe colder if you are running or biking.
Very lightweight
These seem to be far lighter than my other Capilene 2 items. Very minimal results as far as warmth for skiing, snow shoeing, etc. They do seem to be well constructed. My wife has a pair that she wears indoors at her office in the winter, she finds them well suited for indoor 69 degree use. As far as recommending to friend, yes I would with the info that they are not very warm.
Not what it used to be...
purchased these cap 2 bottoms to replace an old pair that lasted somewhere in the neighborhood of 6 years. the new pair had a hole in less than ONE month. luckily, patagonia stands behind their gear. i'm going to give it one more try. i'm a big fan of the capilene that's why i would recommend it to a friend despite the low overall rating i gave.
Quality issue
Bought these as replacement to an older pair that I've worn frequently for years and loved. Received and tried on but something amiss, hey the right leg is 1.5" longer than the left?! Needed immediately and no time to return so I guess I'll wear as is and have a little extra slack on the right side. Where's the quality control?
Neutral Reviews:
Good, But Needs Modification
I appreciate the quality of the Capilene 2 Lightweight Bottoms, but the rise is a little long, and certain parts of my anatomy are easily exposed from the fly. Hopefully one or both of these issues will be resolved by Patagonia. They usually do a good job of that.
