NEW Merino Base Layers
We are excited to introduce the Chinook Series of base layers, which further builds on our technical apparel line, allowing us to offer a full skin-to-shell system for the backcountry hunter. The Chinook Series is inclusive of a long sleeve crew neck top and a “boot-top” length bottom. Constructed with Merino6™ textile technology, the Chinook Series is specifically designed for extended backpacking trips but is equally at home as an everyday layering piece.
Merino6™ is our propriety blend of the highest quality Merino Wool and high performing Nylon 6.6 micro denier yarns. After extensive testing, we found the perfect combination to be 89% Merino Wool and 11% Nylon. By blending Wool and Nylon, we created a textile that leverages the benefits of Merino with all the advantages of Nylon. Merino6™ products have an extremely soft hand feel, regulate your body temperature while eliminating odor, and won't stretch or shrink like traditional 100% Merino textiles. Additionally, the Nylon fibers increase the moisture-wicking ability of the garment and enhance the durability of the textile, creating the perfect backcountry, next-to-skin, layering piece.
