The Importance of Hunting Base Layers

The Importance of Hunting Base Layers

The right jackets, pants, and masks are important for hunters, but far too many outdoor enthusiasts ignore base layers. Many assume that a tee shirt and a pair of cotton long underwear is all you need.

For the casual hunter, this might be true, but serious hunters make sure everything they wear will give them an edge in the field. This not only means superior outer garments, it also means advanced hunting base layers.

Useful All Year Long

Thermal winter jackets and bibs are important, but perhaps the greatest benefit of base layers for your hunting apparel is the fact that you can wear them all year. These garments are excellent in the warm summer, as the light apparel won’t be too hot, and they are essential in the frigid winter, as they provide a comfortable layer between your skin and your thick coats and jackets.

Managing Interior Moisture

Our base layers use moisture-wicking technology that moves perspiration from the skin to the outside of the material. This keeps your skin dry throughout a long hunt, helping you stay in complete comfort from start to finish.

Scent Control

While each species is different, nearly every popular game animal has an excellent sense of smell, including whitetail deer, wild hogs, coyote, and turkey. To keep yourself hidden, you not only need camouflage, you also need our SilverZ technology, which negates body odor through anti-microbial technology. These base layers also use zeolite, which traps in your smells.

Reduces Noise

Our base layers are built to keep noise to a minimum. When you move through the woods or lift your arms to take aim, you’ll create less noise. This means your target won’t be alarmed, making you a more successful and productive hunter.
