Ultralight next-to-skin hunting base layer built for high-output use in warm conditions. The Men’s Wick LS Crew uses 150gsm Aerowool with 37.5 technology plus lighter mesh vent panels, combining merino odor resistance with rapid drying, ventilation, thumb loops, and flatlock seams.

WHAT MATTERS

150gsm Aerowool Construction
Ultralight Aerowool blend combines merino with 37.5 nylon for hot-weather base-layer use.
37.5 Active Particle Technology
37.5 fibers are used to accelerate moisture movement and support temperature regulation.
Targeted Mesh Vent Panels
Lighter Aerowool mesh panels are placed in high-heat zones to increase ventilation.
17.5-Micron Merino
Ultrafine 17.5-micron merino contributes odor resistance and next-to-skin comfort.
Pack-Friendly Seams and Thumb Loops
Modified raglan sleeves, flatlock seams, and ergonomic thumb loops reduce bulk and friction under layers and pack straps.

GTW TAKE

“

BUILT FOR MOVEMENT, NOT STANDING STILL

The Wick is my choice when output is high and staying dry matters more than holding heat. It moves moisture exceptionally well during early-season hunts and long walking days, but that advantage disappears when the pace slows and the temperature drops.
Rapid moisture movement helps prevent sweat from becoming a cold-weather liability.
The light fabric and venting suit warm conditions and sustained movement.
Merino blend adds useful odor resistance across repeated field days.
Tradeoff: it provides limited warmth once activity stops or the forecast turns colder than expected.
