Skip the base layer for late season hunts?

[Howard94]

I’m thinking of leaving my base layer top at home for late season hunts and just using my grid fleece as next to skin. The base layer gets so bunched up and it drives me crazy and I don’t think it is providing much value to me.

Thoughts?

what are you using for a base layer and mid layer? First I would consider if you have the right pieces for you and then the right sizing.

I also have the GoHunt atmosphere and had less of a problem with the bunching wearing that, but it still happened. It’s like the base layer twists clockwise on my arms. Can’t stand to wear the grid fleece with the base layer but without the base layer I am extremely comfortable.

Any difference with a different base layer? I’ve had some that twisted and rode up. Too much friction between the layers because of material types or the mid layer was too small allowing it to grab the base.

Maybe try wearing something over your base layer that doesn't stick to it.
