Core Lightweight Bottoms

I run very hot by nature so was impressed with how well this keeps sweat off my body which keeps me warm when transitioning from active to stationary on those exceptionally cold days.

Super Base Layer, Super fast dryer!

I am a huge fan and believer in Merino Wool and typically use Merino. I decided to try out some synthetics and can see that these are great options to have. The wicking and drying are absolutely great. This is a great foundational piece for wet and high exertion situations. It just dries super fast.

Excellent for early season

I've used the Heavyweight Bottoms for years and love them. But being in Texas, the early season hunts can be brutally hot and humid. These Core Lightweights are extremely comfortable, help wick away sweat, and provide the perfect base layer for my warmer hunts.

Great base layer.

Was hoping these would be a nice layer for when its not in the teens and it was perfect. Wore under Stratus pans and jacket in 20 degree weather with no issues. I hope the elastic waist holds up. That is the common problem with most thermal bottoms I have bought.

I like to wear this base layer while mountain hunting in August and September. Mornings can be cool in Northern BC so an extra layer always helps while glassing but the material is breathable for when high output hiking is required.

Great base

Wore these on a New Mexico elk hunt. Does not really provide much warmth. You are not buying these for warmth that’s what your mid layers provide. The technology in these clothes truly work. As I was climbing mountains with pack, gun and all I began to sweat. I always noticed never getting cold from sweating and when I would take layer off at the truck you could notice that the only thing wet is where the shirt and pants push the moisture to the seams of the material. Good stuff!
