How to Choose Hunting Base Layers | CEDEER Camo

Posted by CEDEER Camo Editorial on Oct 28th 2026

A comfortable hunting system starts next to your skin. Hunting base layers need to manage perspiration during the walk in and fit smoothly beneath insulation when you stop. Choose the foundation for your activity, then build outward for the forecast.

Start with fabric and movement

The CEDEER Ovis Base Layer Shirt combines polyester and Merino wool in a 260 GSM fabric. Multi-directional stretch supports reaching and climbing, while flatlock seams help limit bulk beneath additional garments. Its quarter zipper lets you adjust the neck opening as effort changes.

The matching Ovis Base Layer Pants provide a coordinated foundation for your lower body. Their listed weight is seven ounces, with stretch and an anatomical fit intended to accommodate movement. Check both pieces against the layers you already own.

Build for the whole hunt

Think beyond the morning temperature. A demanding approach followed by a long sit creates different clothing needs within the same outing. Adjust layers before you overheat, then add insulation when your pace slows. A base layer manages comfort; dedicated outerwear provides the weather protection your plans require.

For cooler conditions, pair Ovis with Arctic mid layers. Review garment measurements, fit and care instructions before choosing your size. Natural odor resistance is a fabric characteristic, not a promise of remaining undetected.

Check that cuffs and waistbands sit smoothly, and leave enough space for a comfortable seated position during the quieter parts of your hunt.
