Best merino for heat, cold, and everything in between
From scouting in July to sweaty September pack outs and frosty late-October glassing sessions, your base layer has to keep up season after season. That’s why we built the GOHUNT Basin Merino SS Crew.
Designed to handle it all without stretching out, getting funky, or slowing you down, we tested this shirt everywhere from 85-degree Hawaiian humidity to cold-weather hunts back home under the GOHUNT Approach Hoodie. Same shirt, zero issues.
The Basin SS Crew is cut with our great Basin Merino fit: trim through the torso and arms, long enough to stay tucked under a hip belt, and finished with a drop hem that stays put when your pack is locked in.
We used a durable 81% merino, 14% nylon, 5% spandex blend. The added stretch and structure means it dries fast, holds shape, and won’t stretch out by day three. And the fabric? Buttery smooth next to skin, comfortable enough for all-day wear, even when you’re sweating through steep climbs or layering up at elevation.
Translation: It still looks new after a full week of sweat, brush, and hard use.
Merino wool keeps its crown because it regulates temperature and naturally resists odor. It stays cool next to your skin in heat and adds warmth in cold conditions without ever feeling clammy.
If you want one shirt that handles sweaty climbs and frosty mornings without sagging, stinking, or falling apart, GOHUNT Basin Merino Short Sleeve Crew is it.
Note: Women should size down one from the men’s fit for best results.
