SKRE Gear, designer of high-quality and responsibly priced hunting gear for all terrains, announces the immediate availability of the new Kaibab Merino 1/4 zip top. This new SKRE offering is a versatile long-sleeve shirt designed for every hunt. Crafted with the softest, warmest, moisture-wicking, odor-resistant Merino wool available, the new Kaibab Merino top offers the ultimate comfort, dryness, and concealment for the everyday hunter.

Wear the Kaibab independently for excellent thermal regulation and comfort or wear it as a base layer to stay warm in the coldest temperatures. This new Kaibab Merino Top is made from a natural, renewable fiber that helps keep your body at a stable temperature. When it is cold outside, the nature of the fiber traps air and insulates you. Alternatively, when it is warm outside, it transports sweat away from the skin, allowing you to stay cool and dry. Unlike traditional wool, Merino wool is soft. In fact, a single Marino wool fiber is 1/3 the diameter of a human hair. This new SKRE Kaibab Merino top is super soft, comfortable and carefully designed to last through the toughest of adventures.

Available in two unique hunting patterns of Summit and Solace, the Kaibab Merino ¼ zip is available at select retailers and conveniently online for a suggested retail price of $79.16.

The SKRE family of hunting clothing includes a complete line of outerwear, base layers, and accessories, with products designed for all seasons, from warm-weather early-season hunts to frigid late-season adventures and bundle systems that include an entire clothing system for whitetail, elk, mule deer, bear, and turkey hunters, taking the guesswork out for the consumer.
