Vintage Patagonia Capilene Expedition Weight Fleece | XXL | Made in USA

expedition-weight Patagonia Capilene quarter-zip fleece, made in the USA during the early 2000s technical golden age. This is the heavyweight layer — built for brutal cold, high output, and serious layering systems. Not to be confused with midweight or base layers — this is expedition gear. 🧵 Details • Size: Men’s XXL (fits like modern XL) • Made in USA — pre-offshoring era • Fabric: Expedition-weight Capilene fleece • Color: Deep cobalt blue • Quarter-zip front with tall stand collar • Embroidered Patagonia chest logo • Longer back hem for coverage in movement • Style code: 49270 (early 2000s) 🧼 Condition Gently worn.
