Patagonia capilene 2, 3, 4 shirts and leggings are sold at a lot of places, including REI, A-16, etc. They are warm but almost too warm. They wic moisture but many have told me to switch to the merino wool products made by Icebreaker (also sold at the above places and online).
I'm just curious how the Icebreaker numbering system compares to the capilene numbers since I've used Patagonia but not merino wool products.
And the second question would be the layering system. The long sleeve would go on first. Curious which number would be the bottom most layer. Sounds like the 260 is the cold weather number.
As for the pants, thanks, I agree the longer would likely be better especially when where big boots and crampons.
Thanks.
