Excellent Fit for layering

Perfect fit for what is needed from it. Purchased for additional layering in mid to late season as well as spring turkey season. Form fitted to sit over base layer without creating unnecessary bulk or bunching around the shoulders/chest.

Very comfy wool base layer!

This wool isn’t scratchy for my body. It’s very nice fitting and works great as a base layer for colder days, or just a good looking shirt for days when a long sleeve is appropriate. The fabric is substantial enough that I’m not worried about it tearing, but the 330 wool is notably thicker. I prefer this anyways as I run warm It runs true to my “Sitka size” which is a large pretty much across the board

best under layer

I bought this for my son for skiing and he says it's his favorite base layer. It's sometimes a bit too hot for him underneath an insulated jacket here in California. He's stoked when he does wear it though.

Core Merino 220 Half-Zip

I bought this as an extra layer for cooler and cold weather hunting and fishing. The bitterly cold weather we experienced this winter has been a true test, and it has performed remarkably well! It has helped me endure the weather and enjoy the outdoors in spite of the frigid conditions.

Sitka gear

The size was a bit too small. Do you have a double standard on sizes? A size large zip pull over should go over the cold gear under.

I like it!

I was in the market for new base layers. I purchased a variety from Sitka and FL. Overall they are very similar. I think Sitka has a little better fit and more value for your money. What makes Sitka stand out is their customer service and shipping. They are superior hands down. The fact that they have tall sizes makes me a customer for life. Thank you Sitka for thinking about the tall guys.
