Patagonia has designated 4 levels for their capilene tops and pants ranging from:

- Patagonia capilene 2 is designed for mountain biking, trail running, climbing and hiking offering their same great breathable performance with added warmth for running in through the woods.
- Patagonia capilene 3 is ideal for
backcountry skiing/boarding, nordic skiing, climbing and hiking in cooler months.
- Patagonia capilene 4 for lower intensity activity and with more of a purpose to stay warm. Its recycled material responds to our environmental conscience while the performance meets the demands of the ice climber, winter mountaineer, snowboarder, and skier.

At Patagonia, waste has no reward. In 2000 Patagonia’s partner company, Teijiin, discovered how to recycle old polyester into new polyester garments. As a result Patagonia re-created the Capilene performance garments ‘using 76 percent less energy than if they'd made it out of virgin petroleum.’ What’s even better is Patagonia will accept your donated old tattered capilene shirts and recycle them into new capilene clothing. Patagonia’s long-term goal is to ‘take environmental responsibility for everything (they) make’. They are simply asking you to take small steps.
Remember to include your spouse and your children. Patagonia designed environmentally conscience capilene 1 Crew, 1 Tees, 3 Crews and 3 Bottoms keeping kids warm and cool when needed. Click here for children’s Capilene clothing Patagonia - Free Shipping
