Description

Kaibab 150 Merino Wool Long Sleeve by SKRE – Remlite NZ ultralight gear for early-season hunts and hikes, a natural merino base layer built for all-day performance.

The Kaibab 150 Merino Wool Long Sleeve by SKRE was engineered to meet the needs of serious hunters and trampers tackling New Zealand’s unpredictable early-season conditions. Cool mornings in alpine valleys often give way to hot, sun-drenched afternoons, creating a challenge when layering. The Kaibab 150 solves this with 150 GSM superfine merino wool, core-spun with synthetic fibres for lasting durability and comfort.

Every detail is optimised for performance. Natural merino fibres wick moisture away, regulating body temperature as exertion levels change. Unlike synthetic-only fabrics, merino offers natural odour resistance, keeping you fresher for longer during multi-day trips. Its UV absorbent properties reduce glare in open country, a crucial advantage for hunters needing to remain unseen. Additionally, merino’s fire and stain resistance add durability when navigating rugged terrain or setting camp.

Key Features:

• Multi-Directional Stretch: Enhances flexibility and comfort.

• 150 GSM Insulation: Light enough for warm conditions; insulating when cool.

• 87/13 Superfine Merino Core-Spun Blend: Combines softness with resilience.

• Moisture Management: Actively wicks sweat away from the body.

• Anatomical Fit: Designed for a full range of motion.

• Flat Lock Seams: Prevent chafing when carrying a pack.

• Antimicrobial Properties: Natural odour resistance for extended trips.

• UV Absorbent: Eliminates glare for stealth in the field.

• Fire & Stain Resistant: Built for harsh backcountry environments.

Recommended Use:

• Early Season Base Layer

• Ideal for hunting, tramping, or thru-hiking in variable climates

• Weight: 7 oz (198 g)
