Description

Kaibab 150 Merino Wool Bottom by SKRE at Remlite; ultralight hunting gear NZ crafted for warmth, comfort, and mid-weight base layer performance.

The Kaibab 150 Merino Wool Bottom by SKRE is a mid-weight base layer engineered for hunters and outdoor adventurers who demand comfort, warmth, and reliable moisture management. At Remlite, we specialise in ultralight hunting gear designed for New Zealand’s challenging backcountry terrain, and this Merino base layer delivers the perfect blend of insulation and breathability for multi-day hunts and tramping expeditions.

Made with an 87/13 superfine Merino core-spun blend, the Kaibab Bottom combines natural softness with enhanced durability. Featuring 17.5-micron superfine Merino fibres, it provides a smooth, itch-free next-to-skin feel. At 150 GSM, it offers the ideal balance between warmth and lightweight efficiency, making it versatile for use in variable weather. Whether you are powering through a steep alpine climb or glassing from a cold ridgeline, these bottoms ensure your temperature remains regulated.

Moisture-wicking technology pulls sweat away from your skin, keeping you dry during exertion while retaining heat during long, static periods. The natural antimicrobial properties of Merino wool prevent odour build-up, making this garment reliable for extended backcountry trips. Additional benefits include natural UV absorbency, which helps eliminate unnatural glare for stealth, and fire resistance for safety around campfires.

The anatomical fit supports mobility and comfort across rugged terrain. Multi-directional stretch enhances range of motion, while flatlock seams reduce chafing under pack straps or outer layers. Weighing just 170 g (6 oz), these bottoms are ultralight and highly packable, ideal for hunters and trampers focused on efficient layering systems.
