Kuiu baselayers for early November CO hunt

[Dbird10]

I'm planning a 2nd season rifle elk hunt in Colorado and am looking at Kuiu base-layers. I'm trying to figure out whether the peloton or merinos would be better for this time? Or a combination of the two? Any help would be appreciated!

Do you sweat a lot, plan to do quite a bit of hard hiking? If so I’d go with a light synthetic to move sweat and keep skin dry. If not, the merino keeps the stink away better. I prefer the lightweight capilene.
edit: the blended options like Aerowool aren’t bad.

Backpacking and staying in same base layers for several days=merino. Day hunting =synthetic. I wore a strong fleece for 8 days last year straight, and found the smell distracting.

I think we'll be doing some hard hiking, but this will be my first time out there so I'm not 100% sure what to expect. I was worried about the merino being too much so I may just run the synthetic and get a back-up pair of merino to keep in my pack. Thanks for the input!

Lol, I can see how that would get distracting! Thanks for the info
