Overview
Built as a next-to-skin layer for cooler conditions, this merino bottom is designed to sit quietly under your hunting system without adding bulk. Its lightweight 150 gram knit and 17.5 micron wool aim to balance warmth and breathability, making it a practical choice for long hikes, active sits, and changing temperatures. Flatlock stitching, an elastic waistband, and rib ankle cuffs help keep the fit streamlined and comfortable, while the natural odor control of merino is useful on extended days in the field. Offered in Olive, it serves as a foundation layer for hunters who want simple, functional cold-weather insulation.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- This is a lightweight 150-gram base layer, so it’s designed as a foundation piece rather than a standalone cold-weather pant.
- Merino wool can be more delicate than synthetic layers, so it may require a bit more care in use and laundering.
- The fit details are limited to an elastic waistband and rib ankle cuffs, so buyers should expect a streamlined base-layer profile rather than a more structured pant.
- Available in Olive only, which may not suit hunters looking to match a broader range of layering systems.
