Description

Lightweight, breathable, and naturally odour-resistant; the Kaibab 150 Merino Wool Short Sleeve by SKRE at Remlite is the ultimate early-season hunting base layer for New Zealand.

Ultralight Merino Wool Hunting Base Layer

The Kaibab 150 Merino Wool Short Sleeve by SKRE is designed as an early-season powerhouse, excelling in warm-weather hunts where temperature regulation and comfort are essential. Engineered with superfine merino fibres, it naturally manages moisture, keeping hunters dry and cool, even during high-output pursuits.

At only 5 oz (142 g), this base layer epitomises the ultralight hunting philosophy. Its anatomical fit provides full range of motion, ensuring unrestricted performance whether sprinting to intercept game, glassing alpine basins, or carrying heavy packs across steep terrain.

Advanced Core-Spun Fabric Technology

Unlike standard merino tops, the Kaibab 150 incorporates a core-spun construction, spiralling superfine merino fibres around synthetic filaments. This process enhances fabric memory and durability while retaining the natural performance of merino wool. The result is a base layer that withstands the rigours of backcountry hunts without sagging, stretching out, or losing shape over time.

The 150 GSM weight makes it perfectly suited for early-season hunts in New Zealand, balancing insulation with breathability. Hunters benefit from natural odour resistance, UV absorption to eliminate unnatural glare, and fire/stain resistance for added safety and longevity.

Designed for New Zealand Backcountry

Remlite’s curated range of ultralight hunting apparel is specifically selected for New Zealand’s diverse conditions. From North Island bush stalking to South Island alpine pursuits, the Kaibab 150 adapts seamlessly. Its natural thermoregulating properties ensure comfort across variable temperatures, while the ultralight construction aligns with our mission to reduce pack weight without compromising performance.
