Description

Kaibab 300 Merino Wool Bottom – Full Length Zipper by SKRE at Remlite; ultralight hunting gear NZ designed for warmth, breathability, and mid-heavy insulation.

The Kaibab 300 Merino Wool Bottom – Full Length Zipper by SKRE is built as a universal core insulation layer for hunters and adventurers tackling cold conditions in New Zealand’s backcountry. At Remlite, we specialise in ultralight performance gear proven in rugged terrain, and this heavyweight Merino base layer delivers superior warmth, moisture management, and versatility for extended hunts and expeditions.

Constructed from 95% superfine Merino wool blended with 5% spandex, the Kaibab 300 offers durability alongside natural softness. With fibres measuring 19.5 microns, the fabric provides next-to-skin comfort without itchiness. At 300 GSM, it functions as a mid-heavy weight base layer, delivering reliable insulation in sub-zero conditions. Despite its warmth, Merino’s unique structure ensures breathability, efficiently wicking sweat away from the skin and discharging moisture to keep you dry during exertion.

Merino wool’s natural performance makes it a superior choice for long hunts and multi-day trips. It can absorb up to 35% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet, making it highly effective for regulating body temperature in variable weather. Naturally antimicrobial, the Kaibab 300 resists odour build-up, keeping you fresh on extended expeditions. Additional natural benefits include UV absorbency for concealment, and inherent fire and stain resistance for increased safety and practicality in the field.

Designed for hunters who require functionality, the Kaibab 300 features flatlock seams to reduce chafing under heavy packs and outerwear. The standout feature is its full-length zippers, allowing quick on-and-off access without removing boots — an essential advantage during long hunts in alpine or snow-covered terrain. Weighing just 510 g (1 lb 2 oz), these bottoms remain lightweight enough for efficient packing while delivering heavyweight insulation.
