Overview
Built for mid- to late-season hunts, these bottoms are meant to add warmth without turning into a bulky layer. The 160 gsm merino blend is described as soft against the skin, with nylon and spandex added for durability and stretch, while the quick-drying fabric helps them stay practical through changing conditions. Full-length side zippers and a Velcro waist closure make them easier to put on and take off over boots and pants, and the off-seam zipper placement is intended to reduce discomfort when moving or sleeping in them. Regular and short lengths give hunters a choice between more boot coverage or a cleaner fit above the boot.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Available in regular and short lengths, so fit depends on how you prefer the bottoms to sit with your boots rather than a one-length solution.
- The full-length leg zippers add convenience, but they also introduce extra hardware and seams compared with a simpler pull-on bottom.
- The 160 gsm merino blend is positioned for mid- to late-season use, so it may be more than you want for warmer conditions.
- The Velcro waist closure helps with fit adjustment, but it is a closure system to account for when layering under pants or sleeping in them.
