Great first layer. Breaths very well and very comfortable. Would give it 5 starts if it was offered in a small. Medium is a little too long and baggy for my legs and prefer a tight fit with my next to skin layers

Nice light layer.

Just enough to take the edge off the cold. Thin so you don’t overheat.

They did the job of keeping me warm and wicking away moisture. I would purchase them again.

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.

Glad I got em

Very pleased with the purchase. They don't bind under my other layers and regulate temperature well. I have had many brands of thermals and these are by far my favorite.

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 all around base layer!

I was skeptical when I kept reading about guys saying “I wear my CORE Lightweight set every time I hunt, no matter the weather.” Now I get it. Super lightweight and breathable for early season, and moisture-wicking as a base layer when things get colder. Great set!!!

Great Base Layer

Rarely hunting in temps below 25-30 in west TN so I rarely need anything more than these + my traverse pants. Great a wicking away moisturize if I get hot honking in. Great (if not critical) piece of the Sitka system.

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

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!

They add just a little extra warmth when needed and are not too heavy or hot when if you find yourself doing a little extra hiking. Great Product!

Core Lightweight Bottom....Thumbs Up!

I purchased a set of the Core Lightweight Bottoms and Top to start the year. I wore them as a base layer in for elk hunting in Colorado in mid-October and through mid-November in Michigan for whitetails. They are very comfortable and are great for 45-30 degree hunts.
