Feb 9, 2009 at 7:42 pm #1476651I still can't afford any of it. But I get a Pro form from them that I can't afford either.
Feb 10, 2009 at 9:13 am #1476759hey all their capaliene and wool is a good deal right now.I don't remember ever seeing it that low..for the 1-4
Feb 10, 2009 at 3:23 pm #1476870I noticed a lot of Capilene base layers at 50% off, which definitely is a good deal. Of course they have only weird colors left, but I wear mine either in the sleeping bag or under outer clothing, so who cares?
Feb 11, 2009 at 6:14 am #1477030I was curious to see how Patagonia garments fit. I was looking at the sizing chart and it seems that I could be in a small or a medium (BTW I am 5'9" 145lbs). I was wondering if I should stay at a medium with the capilene base layers due to possible shrinkage (3% or so) or stick with the small if there is no shrinkage of the garment. My wallet and I thank you(maybe not my wallet, but I do).
Feb 11, 2009 at 7:12 am #1477041Depends on how you like the fit. I'm more partial to the athletic cuts of IceBreaker base layers so i use Medium Capilene base layers in patagonia.
I have larges in my Icebreaker tops but found the patagonia large Cap T's and LS's to be just too long in the torso and very baggy.
With that in mind, i would recommend sticking with the small for your situation. I'm 6'2" 190# and the medium is my choice.
They don't really shrink either.

Feb 11, 2009 at 1:32 pm #1477133My boyfriend is 6-0/155 and he wears a medium. He's on the lanky side, so the small fits him better around the chest but his arms and legs are too long for the size small to fit him comfortably.
Feb 11, 2009 at 2:12 pm #1477141Dana, I'm 6-4, 200, with a 36.5 inch sleeve. Patagonia XL fits really well. Sounds like you need a Large.
Feb 11, 2009 at 7:24 pm #1477237Dana,
Thanks for the answer. I ordered a couple of tops in the small so I am hoping that the fit is good.

I think you will be happy with a small. I am 5'11" 185# and I wear a medium.
I can never pass up the sales at Patagonia. I've already spent way too much on their site this year. Tons of great deals at this year's Winterfest.
Picked up some microburst pants, an ascensionist jacket, some cap 1's, R1's, a few belts, and some things for my girlfriend.
Feb 12, 2009 at 8:13 pm #1477511Nathan,
Funny you should ask that. I've flip flopped alot on their sizing even when trying it on in the stores.
I'm 5'8 & 150lb. The small Cap 1 will fit me… but it fits tighter than I would like for hiking. On the other hand, for Mt Biking I have a small that I like to wear, which fits more like a biking jersey. For the outer garments such as the R1 and Houdini, I wear a Med.
Hope that helps. Btw, the Cap series do stretch out a little after wearing them for a couple of days…
