The ½ zip hooded design allows for added heat release and ventilation while reinforced thumb holes keep the sleeves in place when adding a layer. The PRO Merino is a great choice for the hunters needing a versatile hardwearing shirt that is useful in a wide range of conditions.

PRO Merino is the result of years of development with TMC and a breakthrough in mid-layer technology. The dual-layer knit construction positions 17.5-micron Nuyarn Merino next-to-skin with a quick drying, durable polyester eyelet outer face.

The Nuyarn wicks moisture away from the skin and it passes through to the surface of the Polyester. The Polyester distributes the moisture over its surface, while the eyelet construction speeds the process and encourages airflow within the fabric. This moisture management is a mechanical process, and results in a piece that absorbs, disperses, and evaporates moisture 4x faster than pure merino or comparable weight blends.

This mid-layer top is designed to go over a base layer and under an outer layer, all in the same size. Only upsize if you measure between sizes or prefer a loose fit.

ANTI-ODOR

Merino wool as a natural fiber excels at odor control and preventing the build up of bacteria.

Nuyarn Technology

As good as traditional merino was, Nuyarn is better. Classic yarns twist fibers together for strength, which leaves ends poking out that can cause irritation. Nuyarn takes the twist out, and instead, lays fibers along the same orientation, so fabrics feel less prickly and more comfortable. By eliminating the spun yarn, we get merino wool that has more loft, stretch, and durability.
