Overview
Built for warm-weather hunts, this base layer bottom is designed to be worn under your pants when staying comfortable and minimizing odor matters most. Its ultralight merino wool blend helps manage temperature as activity and conditions change, while the natural odor resistance supports low-profile use in the field. Sitka also reinforces the fabric with ArmorSpun merino wool for added durability over repeated seasons. It’s a practical choice for hunters who want a lightweight next-to-skin layer without unnecessary bulk.

- Intended to be worn under pants, which adds a layer of bulk and may feel less minimal than a single-layer setup.
- The ultralight merino wool blend prioritizes comfort and odor suppression, but that focus can come with less emphasis on heavier-duty warmth.
- Reinforced construction supports durability, but it is still a lightweight base layer rather than a standalone outer layer.
