Capilene® 3 keeps kids’ warm and dry during high-activity pursuits. Worn on top or underneath, these versatile polyester performance layers breath easy, dry fast and are built from 64% recycled fibers and 100% recyclable through our Common Threads Recycling Program. Common Threads Recycling ProgramResearch shows that the environmental impact of recycling worn-out Capilene base layers into new polyester fiber is significantly lower than making that same fiber from virgin materials. Taking into account that worn-out garments are diverted from trash incinerators, making new polyester fiber from recycled garments results in an energy savings of 76% and a CO2 emissions [greenhouse gasses] reduction of 71%, versus creating that fiber from new raw material. CapileneA® Core PerformanceA®Capilene base layers afford quick-drying, next-to-skin moisture management for all activities in all conditions ? from high-altitude bivies to sun-soaked water sports.
