The hot days continue, don't they?
Whether you're riding a bike or out for a run, you're drenched in sweat in no time. For activities like these, there is a base layer that keeps you comfortable. I’ve mentioned it before, but since it has become such a staple, I wanted to introduce it to you all once again.
[Patagonia] Capilene Lightweight T-shirt ¥4,700 (tax excluded)
(Model: 175cm, 62kg, wearing size S)
Aside from the "Capilene Daily" model designed for everyday use, Patagonia's Capilene base layers come in three models that you can choose from based on your level of activity and the temperature. This Capilene Lightweight is the lightest of the three, offering the best moisture-wicking and quick-drying performance. It is made from 100% recycled polyester, making it environmentally conscious, while the fine grid structure (texture) on the inside ensures comfort, and the smooth surface on the outside makes it easy to layer.

Features like the permanent odor control treatment and the careful neckline finishing to prevent skin chafing are greatly appreciated, as they ensure stress-free wear even over long periods.
The long-sleeve version includes thumb loops to prevent the sleeves from riding up. Details like this are sure to excite those of you who appreciate well-engineered gear, aren't they?
While this Capilene Lightweight is often used as a base layer for summer mountain climbing, I think it works just as well when you’re out on your bike in casual attire. For those of you who thought fashion always required a bit of discomfort, you can actually enjoy staying stylish in comfort by using functional innerwear.
As I mentioned in the previous blog, starting tomorrow, Circles will be hosting events on both the 1st and 2nd floors for two days. The hot days are set to continue, but besides the Capilene mentioned here, Circles is fully stocked with items that can make your time more comfortable, so please come by and check us out alongside this weekend's events.
