Capilene is a proprietary fabric developed by Patagonia, designed specifically for warm weather performance. It features excellent moisture-wicking properties, pulling sweat away from your skin to keep you dry and comfortable. Additionally, Capilene is breathable, allowing air to circulate and helping to regulate your body temperature during physical activities.

Fair Trade Certified products are made under fair labor conditions, ensuring that workers receive fair wages and work in safe environments.

Products made from recycled polyester are created using materials like plastic bottles or other polyester garments, which helps reduce waste and resource consumption. By opting for recycled polyester, you are contributing to sustainability in the fashion industry, as it repurposes existing materials instead of relying on new resources, making it a more eco-friendly choice.

To maintain the quality of fabrics like Capilene and those treated with HeiQ anti-odor treatment, it’s best to wash them in cold water and avoid using fabric softeners, as they can affect moisture-wicking properties. Air drying is recommended to preserve the fabric's integrity and longevity. Always check the care label for specific instructions to ensure your garment stays in top condition.
