Comfy indoors and outdoors - Patagonia Capilene Thermal Weight One-Piece Suit - Mens

Comfy suit in and out doors. I ordered my Patagonia Men's Capilene Thermal Weight One-Piece Suit from CampSaver.com. I hadn’t used the site before and this is my first Patagonia item. The one-piece arrived quickly and just in time as the air temperature that day was minus 6 F. The fit is tapered. Not bulky. Tension at the ankle is smooth and just right. Some features I didn’t think would matter to me were the thumb cuff loops, zip back-side, and hood. However, the people at Patagonia know what they’re doing, and I do appreciate the attention to details and the added features. I thought the hood would be a hindrance. The hood is fun, well fitted, fashion forward, and a benefit in cold air. The hood is well designed and conforms to my head. It stays back far enough so it doesn’t hinder vision. I thought the hood would be bulky but it turns out it lies flat when not in use. I wore the union suit indoors under clothes at work. The green hood sticking out from my grey wool sweater drew unexpected complements. Didn’t think a union suit could be a fashion item but many co-workers thought it would be a great gift for their spouses who spend time outdoors. A union suit has advantages of no air leaks, no tugging, and overall comfort. This union suit fits better than most with a good amount of taper and just enough stretch. It remains comfortable both indoors and outdoors. I took it cross-country skiing. The cold bit my face but the suit kept the rest of me comfortable. The hood really came into play. I didn’t notice I was sweating until after I took it off and my body continued to generate heat. The wicking works without notice. Also without notice I subconsciously tucked my chin down into the zipped collar while skiing. The price is high but a union suit will last for years so the extra details my make it worth the price.
