Excels at everything
Andrew Fortna: 
From single-layering for cool weather cycling to base-layering for below zero skiing, this shirt does it all with simple style and outstanding temperature regulation. No matter where I go, one of my many Cap2 zip-necks goes with me.
The original keeps getting better
powstash:
Like the original Capilene from Patagonia this lightweight base layer is my go to piece when I'm backcountry skiing, climbing, or out in the cold shoveling snow all winter. The zipper is smooth and doesn't catch like other base layers I own and the soft Capilene keeps me warm and dry even when on a long ski approach when perspiration is at its peak. The under arm panels allow for even smoother movement. I know this one will last for years, just like the last one I bought from Patagonia.
Does what its supposed to do
trdjohn:
Mainly use it for running & other highly aerobic activities. Wicks well, highly breathable. Can wear it a few days in a row for running, has little odor (unlike cheap brands). I haven't had a problem with stink setting in & lingering after tossing it in the laundry, always comes out fresh. Light weight zip neck doesn't get in the way & fold of fabric keeps zip from rubbing. Works well in the upper 40s to 50s w/ little breeze & on windy days w/ a Marmot Ion its perfect. Wouldn't use it as baselayer under pile fleece as it tends to hang on pile, would use a smooth silkweight like capilene 1 instead.
great piece
boca juniors:
the new Patagonia capilene 2 is lighter, better fitting, warmer and cooler than its predecessor. the cut is no longer "boxy" and the collar stays in place making it look elegant. terrific by itself or as a first layer. Patagonia capilene and or wool base layers feel so amazingly soft against the skin... (you want to wear all as first layers).
excellent
boca juniors:
terrific capilene 2 shirt. it's lightweight and breathes very well. it's also very comfortable and warm. i also have a crew one, but the zip neck gives more versatility. it's a wonderful compliment to a wardrobe that should already include a capilene1 and a capilene3!
