Wickiup Hoody – MTN HNTR’s Purpose-Built Base Layer

[robby denning]

Yes - UPF 50+ rating

I used to not care about UPF until wife sent me to the dermatologist: “it’s bad”

Ordered one, I love this style of hoodie. Will report back my thoughts and comparisons to the goHUNT version, Kuiu synthetic and Kuiu merino versions.

The GoHunt stinks FAST! That part was disappointing. I also feel it’s too heavy for true early season.

Can you say anything yet about the weight of this hoody compared to GoHunt and Kuiu? I’m going to guess you’ve got the Kuiu Gila.

I like the faded color of this hoody.

Mine is still in the mail but I will let you know on that.

I have the gila and also the merino version. Wore the gila for basically two days straight in Nevada last weekend 100 degree temps and it didn’t stink too bad.

That’s good to hear. I’ve got the Gila but have only worn it for day outings fishing and looking for bears. Mine had a glossy sheen I didn’t like.

My go to is Sitka core crew light. LOVE that thing but I’m always looking.

You'll find this hoody has a little different feel than the Poly/Spandex blends that GoHunt and Kuiu use on the above mentioned garments. The Rayon softens and adds a bit more breathability. It's also truly lightweight - I know the feel of a lot of the 100% polyesters (or close with spandex) don't feel as breathable to me and seem to feel a little more "clammy." Anyhow - for those who've ordered, I'm very interested in your feedback. It's been very positive to this point from our team and others who have tried it.

How is the fit/sizing? Similar to GOHUNT and kuiu? And would you know the weight of a large? I’d like to try one but wanted to know before ordering. Also would there happen to be a rokslide discount?

Thanks for your help!

I haven't tried the GoHunt, but as far as kuiu, sitka, etc, the sizing is very close, we designed this to be a little bit longer than most T-shirts so there's enough length in the torso. The size Large is 7.9 ounces. Use code "rokslide" on any product at MTNHNTR.com.

Awesome, thanks for the info! Order placed. I get out in some hot weather most of the time. Excited to try it out.

Got mine in and have been running around with it today.

Super soft and comfortable next to skin.

Very light and thin (good thing). Similar to Kuiu but breathes a little better, much thinner than the goHUNT.

Fit is good, similar to the Kuiu. The goHUNT fits more snug.

Will get this one and the Kuiu wet and see how quickly they dry out.

So far loving it, incredibly comfy and IMO about perfect for fabric weight on this kind of shirt

Thanks for the feedback and comparisons. Appreciate the support as well.

Ordered one of these up for Nevada in a couple weeks. It'll definitely be hot there on the opener.

Just ordered one. Anything in a gray, kind of faded FDE or olive drab is hard for me to turn down.

That lighter looked pretty good as well. Didn’t see it until after three order but that is probably going to happen as well.

Put in an order for two with the discount.

We're working on a 2nd colorway right now.

Are you able to say what that color may be?

Scouting trip went well. It was 40’s in the morning to 80’s during the day. It breaths better than my kuiu merino. Very soft and comfortable. And lo and behold I was in a hurry to get the spotter on what I needed it before a buck left and went of of sight. That dang chest pocket came in handy for my phone.
