Awesome piece. Pairs well with a 120 merino underneath the Kelvin for an unbelievable temperature range. Very satisfied. Been wearing all Kuiu since 2013, so this is a great addition to my kits and a big, nice surpris!

Not warm at all.

Just go ahead and buy the 330. This is a good base layer if temps are above 50

Excellent

Great layer for hunting in North Carolina. Not too hot, but still something to cover up with for early-mid season. Fits well, but it is meant to be a mid-layer, so it isn't very baggy.

Core Merino 220 - Baselayer Excellence

I have used multiple merino baselayers and midlayers over the years. I am pleased to say this new 120 and 220 merino pieces are the most comfortable I have worn. The Armorspun tech is really ingenious and means comfort and durability, which until now has meant a two-layer piece. Really impressive.

Much lighter color than fanatic.

Didn’t get to try it. Think I might return it. Maybe it’s the fabric section used to make this shirt I got but it has a ton of white vs a fanatic vest that has more dark shades with patches of light. I stand hunt the NE and it just doesn’t seem to fit the seasons where you might wear it as a top shirt in a stand. Only thing I might do is wear it as a base if I don’t return it. I was really hoping for a good shirt for warmer mornings that didn’t need a jacket yet. I’d love it if it was the same shade as the fanatic gear but it’s much lighter. Seems more like something to wear in the snow.

This is a great addition to my base layering. Used it first time this week, sunrise temp was 38 degrees - this merino 220 over a lightweight base and fanatic hoodie was perfectly comfortable for a 5 hour sit.

I am a fan of the material but not the fit of this half zip. I prefer a looser fit. For some reason this fits a little tighter than most of my other Sitka gear. Maybe size up if you prefer a little baggier fit.

I bought this for my husband's birthday so he hasn't officially had the chance to try it out in the woods yet which is why we give it 4 stars instead of 5. He likes the style and the fit so far and can't wait to see how the product actually works.
