For Fall 2013, Patagonia is producing a Cap 4 EW One-Piece Suite, a.k.a. a onesie.
Gram counters note that this thing will weigh in at 363 g, 13 g less than the separate cap 4 hoody and bottoms. Yes, it's less flexible but I expect to be wearing this thing around my house pretty much permanently. Unclear whether there is an opening for the buttocks.
Mar 10, 2013 at 8:14 pm #1964081The question of the backside opening has always put me off one piece bad layer, it will be interesting to see how this goes.
Mar 10, 2013 at 9:00 pm #1964096…let there be attached footies. I, too, will live one of these if there's integrated slipper socks…
Mar 10, 2013 at 9:16 pm #1964108Sorry, looks like the onesie is ankle-length. :(
Mar 10, 2013 at 9:27 pm #1964111I can't imagine how cold it would have to be for me to want to be covered from head to toe in cap 4.

Mar 11, 2013 at 12:07 pm #1964317Just find your favorite wool socks and sew them to the ankles of the onesie.
Mar 11, 2013 at 12:19 pm #1964322i have a couple of patagonia fleeces that are bibs and onesies. they have all have fairly functional drop-seat arrangements and double slider front zippers.
Mar 11, 2013 at 1:38 pm #1964345for a few grams I'd rather have two pieces that can be added or subtracted as needed- I've worn the top a bunch of times that I wouldn't have wanted the bottoms
for house lounging on the other hand……. :)
