Anyway, few questions... Any experience with Patagonia Capilene 3? Is Capilene 3 the right layer? Could I get by with Capilene 2? Or should I move up to Capilene 4 (which is considerably more expensive)?

Any other brand/recommendations? Thanks.
I use this brand and their tops are nice. They do hold odors though....I would save $$$ on the pants though by getting another brand. Mine have not held up too well...ripping in the crotches.....but my EMS and other brand ones are cheaper and holding up better.
