Trying to decide between Patagonia long sleeve capilene team crew (5.04oz) and capilene lightweight crew (3.5oz). Had to get rid of my old cap 1 layer, had a rotton smell and was several years old, and now these two new models seem similiar. Next use will be GA AT section hike in early Sept, will use as a sleeping shirt or combined with a short sleeve to hike in. Thanks

Stuff does very well on both cold and hot moving moisture. Also feels good on the skin- nice and airy. All my other base layers (save Cap 4 stuff in winter) have been collecting dust
