SG Helio zip off bottoms compared to Kuiu Merino 200 zip off active hunt

[WVELK]

Have you tried both? Comparison likes dislikes?

Helio’s would need to be pretty damn cold to be wearing “active” - like < 20F. For me at least. They vent well though.

I’ve always used lighter 150-170gsm merino so can’t compare. I use the thinner peloton syn zip off bottoms from kuiu unless it’s bitter cold, then the Helio’s get the call.

I have the non-zip off Helio's and they're warm. I don't have the Kuiu merino bottoms, but I do have their Pro Merino 200 top, and it would get the nod for me between the two.

The merino should in theory thermoregulate a little better, but I think both will be pretty damn warm unless it's pretty cold.

I like the Peloton 97 for anything active but still cold enough to warrant a mid on my legs.
