A men's Nuyarn® Merino base layerthat keeps your core consistent in all conditions — warmer when it's cold, cooler when it's warm and built to hold its own even when wet. Warmer, more durable and faster drying than standard Merino.
FIT & SIZING
The Hoodoo Men’s Merino Baselayer is a lightweight, stretchy Merino base layer, with enough room through the chest and body to sit comfortably against the skin without feeling restrictive. The longer body gives extra coverage when moving, while the stretchy Nuyarn® Merino fabric allows the top to move with you without losing its shape.
Fit: Comfortable and close enough to work well as a base layer without feeling restrictive
Layering: Designed primarily to be worn against the skin, but light enough to layer underneath fleece or waterproofs
Movement: Stretchy fabric gives plenty of freedom to reach, bend and move without the top pulling
Body: Longer cut gives extra coverage through the lower back and helps keep the top in place when moving
Arms: Long sleeves provide full-arm coverage and can be rolled up when needed
Overall feel: Lightweight, soft and stretchy, with 125gsm Nuyarn® Merino that helps regulate temperature without feeling bulky
Sizing: Available in XS to 3XL; your usual size should give you the intended comfortable base-layer fit

Merino baselayer
The base layer is the foundation of everything. Build it right and the rest of the day follows. The Hoodoo Men's Merino Baselayer is a Nuyarn® Merino base layer built for all conditions — warmer when it's cold, cooler when it's warm and warm enough to hold its own even when wet. Nuyarn® technology delivers 35% more thermal retention, 50% more durability and 53% more wind resistance than conventional Merino, with 35% more elasticity that moves with you and snaps back without losing its shape.
Moisture-wicking fabric keeps your core dry whether you're pushing hard or standing still. Odour resistant enough to earn its place on multi-day trips without complaint. Dries up to five times faster than conventional Merino — which means a river crossing or a heavy day out doesn't have to stay a problem for long. Made from a highly sustainable product. The kind of base layer that holds up long after the trip is done.

Layer
Base Layer
Just the best merino against the skin. A brilliant base layer, can also be worn on it's own.
Conditions
All conditions. From sunny days to cold, wet and windy. Top performer in all weather.
Perfect as a base layer where it will retain warmth. Light enough for hot days where it will wick away moisture and regulate your temperature.
Nice. Less fluffy than my cycling merino base layer. A great length to keep kidneys and bum warm. Long sleeve to give movement and warm. These are easily rolled up when you need to get into a bit of dressing out game.

Batman Suit!
Well, I bought an olive one and loved it - it was all that Davey cracked it up to be: warm, light, quick-drying. So I bought a black one, too and my life changed - it turned me into Batman! My love-life has improved, I’ve lost weight, my hair-loss has stopped and I’m immune to Covid! What I really want is for Swazi to make matching pants!

The 'Hot' Hoodoo
The merino top is great, had to wash it before wearing as it had quite a bit of static. Wearing for the first time on a hunt in negative temperatures, it exceeded expectations. Next time will need one less layer.

Best base layer on the market
Got this base layer for my partner. He’s an extreme outdoorsmen and this top is the best he’s ever worn. Regulates his body temp, drys quick, extra long so it doesn’t ride up his back and best of all it doesn’t stink! Will be purchasing a couple more
