What base layer do you use?

[GtownBowhunter]

I have been using Underarmour's 3.0 base layer's and I feel like they have been a great product. I would just like some insight from guys that have other base layer's they like, particularly guys that might have the merino wool from Kuiu.

I've used scentlok's in the past and had 0 complaints. I just bought some from First Lite for this year, and anxious to see how they perform. I've heard and seen nothing but good things from them.

Im interested myself. Since Im not going to buy Under Armour gear anymore, I need some ideas

Merino wool. Nothing better.

I bought First Lite stuff last year. Its great. Like most will say, its a little pricey but you get what you pay for. Very comfortable. No itch. Comes in different weights depending on your type of weather you are going to use it for. You can use it as a base layer or as your hunting shirt alone. I think you'll like it.

I've got UA 1.0's and the 3.0's. I've actually worn both together on some sub freezing days with success. Hunted in <20 degree days with this method combined with good boots. cabela's wooltimate top and bottom and a good head cover. Felt like I finally beat back the evil that is the cold.

I'm interested in the merino kuiu or the Cabelas' thermal zone line too. Hear great thibgs about kuiu.

Have to love Liberals, I'm in the same boat I refuse to buy from them anymore. That is why I will most likely go Kuiu but just want to see if someone on here has tried them. It's ashame too because the 4.0 base layer top and bottoms can be bought for right around $115 as opposed to $90 a piece for Kuiu.

I don't think it's been cold enough for a base layer in the last few years

[SabreKiller]

Just depends...

on how active I plan on being. If hiking and sitting to glass I usually wear the Cabelas lightweight stuff. If it's really cold and I;m sitting on stand I wear the Polar weight fleece stuff from Cabelas. I've not had any issues with either sets. I'm pretty hot-natured and I sweat A LOT so I don't wear the polar weight stuff too much. Nothing I hate worse than walking to my stand a getting all sweaty.

I don't have any experience with the merino wool stuff, but I've been curious about it as well. I'd be concerned about the texture.

First lite fan here. I do want some of the zip off kuiu bottoms but I'm hoping first lite will come out with some so I can support them instead.

The merino wool is really the only thing I have any desire to wear anymore. It's plenty soft. It also doesn't get you as hot when you are hiking and doesn't stink like synthetics do.

I've use UA 3.0 Compression also & doesn't shrink or fade worth the $$$

[Jmh05]

Under armour base with hot chillies fleece set over that.

Fruit of the Loom. Sometimes Haines but mostly Fruit of the Loom.

[ultralite09]

Sitka Merino here. I also use UA cold weather gear. Dont really care about "boycotting" them cause of the whole bowmar incident, cause thats just stupid.

Go Merino Wool. I have the Kuiu, need to buy a size bigger than you normally do. Kuiu puts sales on sometimes during the year. You can also find Core4Element and others on sale at Camo fire.
