The Capilene Cool Merino Long Sleeve is an ultra-lightweight Merino-blend base layer that excels at thermoregulation, breathability, and next-to-skin comfort, with natural odor resistance and fast drying. However, its silk-like blend yields limited durability and can be sheer in lighter colors, making it less suitable as a standalone top in cooler conditions and better used as a base layer under a layered kit for high-output activities.
