Light Weight Merino hoodie

[droptine818]

I’ve tried a ton of different synthetic base layers. My main problem in the early season is odor control. Every single synthetic layer I’ve tried stinks to high heaven after a day or two of use. I love my Stone Glacier merino hoodie but want something thinner and lighter for the early season. I hunt mostly in CA and the archery season for us opens in July and August and temps over 100° are very common. Any recommendations for a super thin merino hoodie? I’ve looked into the Sitka 120 and the first lite wick but figured I’d ask around first.

I wear the kuiu merino 120, all year. 90 degree days, to post hole-ing in the snow.

I have the ultra merino 145 and love the thing.
I wear it on every hunt, and it looks like new!

I have the Sitka 120, FL Wick, and the Kuiu 120. The Sitka 120 is softer than the Kuiu and much lighter/cooler than the Wick.

I think the Sitka 120 is the one for me but is the the wick softer than the Sitka 120?

I’d say the Merino is similar is softness. Odd to think about, but the Wick is 25% thicker than the Sitka so they don’t really feel similar in use.

Ok that paints a good picture I’m looking for something super thin I think I’ll go with the core
