Kryptek Traverse Base Layer Set

October 2024

Elevate your outdoor performance with the new Kryptek Traverse Merino Wool Base Layer set, crafted for the modern adventurer. This next-to-skin collection, made from a premium blend of Merino wool, Tencel, and Spandex, combines the softness and natural antimicrobial properties of Merino wool with the durability and quick-drying capabilities of advanced fabric technology. Whether you’re facing harsh elements or engaging in high-intensity activities, the Traverse Base Layer offers superior moisture-wicking, breathability, and thermoregulation to keep you comfortable in any condition.

“There is a lot to be said between Synthetic and Merino base layers, and even more discussion about which one you should pick. Understanding both can definitely help you in which to choose. Commonly overlooked are the thermoregulating properties that base layers can provide in both cold and hot weather. Yes, hot weather.

A good gear system starts from the ground (base) up. I believe the new Kryptek Traverse Merino lineup combines the best of both worlds when it comes to Merino wool and synthetic spandex. Synthetic materials have always been the best for moisture control, getting moisture off your skin in the cold, as well as being able to dry quickly. I was pleasantly surprised when I unboxed the new Traverse lineup. I was expecting a heavier dose of Merino when I grabbed it, but instead, my hand was met with smooth comfort and I knew right away that it was not a majority Merino wool system. Instead, a majority of the fabric comes from Tencel, which is a semi-synthetic fabric made from wood pulp that’s known for being soft, breathable, and durable. Think of it as the latest bamboo craze making its way into the hunting market.

The next-to-skin feel and comfort of the new Traverse lineup are next level compared to many others on the market, especially the competing Merino/synthetic blends that contain a majority Merino fabric. A good quality base layer will help complete your system, allowing you to be more comfortable and let you stay in the field longer.” – Stanton Upson, Hunt Advisor
