Merino mid layer hood?

[sivart]

Looking for a good midlayer w/ hood. I also prefer camo, which eliminates a lot of brands. Open to suggestions.

Using merino for a mid layer is much less than optimal in my experience.

I have a Kuiu’s pro merino 200 quarter zip that I wear as a mid-layer.
I like it a lot.
You can get it with a hood.

PRO Merino 200 Zip-T Hoodie | Valo

The PRO Merino is a great choice for those needing a versatile shirt that's useful in a wide range of conditions. Shop merino wool gear and more at KUIU.

Thanks. I've looked into that one. I like it other than the polyester shell. I like the dull no shine of merino.

Maybe try the Kuiu Kenai active insulation jacket. Comes in 3 camo options. Pretty versatile piece.

Don’t sacrifice in garment quality because it “needs” to be camo.

If you’re dead set on needing Merino as the mid layer (works fine but not as good/versatile as a waffle or grid fleece) then the ridge merino convict canyon hoodie is quite good. It’s a merino blend that’s holding up well in about 8 months of use so far.

I’d personally recommend the Patagonia R1 Air as your mid layer though if I had to choose just one for all hunts. I’ve been using that piece since it released in 2020 for backpacking and hunting. From Arizona desert to Alaska tundra, it’s an incredibly versatile price of clothing.

The animals don’t care if it’s not camo…

I consider my FL Kilns as a mid layer and theyre my favorite piece they make and about the only FL stuff I have left. I wouldnt wear it much as an outer layer in the woods though.

SKRE gear has a 300 merino wool kaibab hoodie. I wear mine a bunch as it's super comfortable and warm piece. https://skregear.com/products/kaiba...mQEQdw8l9p2kiDB75QYwr4aLVtJSqM6PVWXenVfTB5rkF

What kind of hunting are you going to be doing?

I have every piece listed so far in other replies aside from the SKRE, but it's hard to give input without knowing what you'll use it for.
