KUIU ULTRA Merino 145 Zip-T Hunting Shirt

Source not recorded.

“Best Use: All Conditions Developed in New Zealand, Nuyarn technology has revolutionized the Merino wool market. Taking the twist out of the yarn has produced a fabric with higher stretch and recovery, better moisture management, and greater warmth. It is stronger than the average Merino wool on the market, yet boasts the same natural odor resistance and comfort.”

Stone Glacier Chinook Merino Hoody

Source not recorded.

“No hunting kit is complete without a hoody, and the Chinook will be your new favorite thanks to moisture-wicking and odor-repelling Merino6™ technology. We designed the shoulder seams to sit lower off the shoulder to reduce friction from heavy pack-outs. Thumb holes help to keep the hoody in place when layering with other Stone Glacier apparel.”
