Smartwool vs. Capilene

November 13, 2019

Staying warm and dry this winter starts from the inside out.  Choosing the best base layer from Snowpack you have the choice of the natural wool fibers of Smartwool or the technically wicking and quick dry properties of Patagonia Capilene.

Wool typically has that quick cozy feel against your skin.  Smartwool helps you naturally regulate temperature while wicking sweat away from your skin.  Keeping your skin dry dramatically helps you stay warm when you are out in the cold.  Wool also has natural anti-bacterial properties so you can keep stink free when you are hanging out after your adventures.  Wool can be a more expensive option for a base layer but it is a natural fiber against your skin.

Capilene has the superior wicking and quick dry technology right in its name.  The capilary action of the fabric quickly wicks sweat off your skin to keep you feeling dry and warm.  The HeiQ® odor treatment keeps your base layer from stinking so will be invited back to the fun and adventures.  And in keeping with their high environmental standard, Patagonia Capilene is made from 100% recycled polyester.
