Constructed with Merino6^TM Technology, the Chinook Merino Crew LS base layer is the foundation for our hunting layering system. This piece is designed to incorporate the soft feel and moisture-wicking capabilities of nylon while retaining the insulating and odor-resistant benefits of merino wool on extended backpacking trips. Constructed with a longer tail and seamless shoulders this piece is specifically designed for use on extended backpacking trips but equally at home as an everyday layering piece. 

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. An incorporated hood, ¾-zip, and strategically placed zippered chest pocket make this hoody ideal for nearly every condition. We designed the shoulder seams to sit lower off the shoulder to reduce friction from heavy pack-outs.

Technology
Merino6™ is our proprietary blend of the highest quality Merino Wool and high performing Nylon 6.6 micro denier yarns. After extensive testing, we found the perfect combination to be 89% Merino Wool and 11% Nylon. By blending Wool and Nylon, we created a textile that leverages the benefits of Merino with all the advantages of Nylon. Merino6™ products have an extremely soft hand feel, regulate your body temperature while eliminating odor, and won't stretch or shrink like traditional 100% Merino textiles. Additionally, the Nylon fibers increase the moisture-wicking ability of the garment and enhance the durability of the textile, creating the perfect backcountry, next-to-skin, layering piece.
