Patagonia Capilene Air Crew vs REI Co-Op Midweight Base Layer

Gear Patrol, a source known for its hands-on testing and objective methodology, had good things to say about the Patagonia Capilene Air Crew. It performed great in its "Performance Insoles and More Gear to Help You Become Your Best Athlete" roundup and earned the "Ranked 2 out of 4" title.

Taking a look at the REI Co-Op Midweight Base Layer - Men's, we found that it hasn't managed to perform well enough to earn a spot in any Thermal Underwear roundups done by sources that conduct their own, high-quality, hands-on testing. That alone makes it difficult to recommend.

As a last step, we wanted to do a head-to-head Patagonia Capilene Air Crew vs. REI Co-Op Midweight Base Layer - Men's comparison of their review performance but, unfortunately, weren't able to find any review ratings on either product.
