Just when to my parents house clean out some of my old thing and found a pair of Patagonia Capilene tops and bottoms. Now I can for the life of me remember what weight they are, I'm sure I bought the middle weight that was the most popular. Does anyone remember how they did it back then? Didn't they only have 1-3 weights or did they have 1-4 like they do now? I know they are not silk weight or expedition weight. thx
Silk weight became Cap1
Lightweight became Cap 2
mid weight became Cap 3
Expedition weight became Cap 4
I only started backpacking in 2003 so I don't know about before then.
Kurt,
Most likely they’re the “mid weight” version which was the most popular; this is now Cap 3. A Mid weight bottom would weigh about 7 oz., give or take. I don’t have any plain tops, but I have an old zip T neck cap 3 if you want me to weigh it.
Ha! No Jim thats ok, you don't have to weigh them. I could only remember the 1-3 from back then but heck I can believe how long its been. I was just trying to gage what I have to whats now available. Thanks for the feed back guys. I have to say though it was a nice score :)
As far as I know, there were no numbers when I first bought Capilene 14-15yrs ago. There was just "Capilene". I still have and use the top. Similar in appearance to newer Capilene 1, but heavier and less breathable.
