Mid Layers

Hunting Mid Layers for Adaptable Insulation

Add warmth between your foundation and shell

Hunting mid layers provide insulation between a base layer and outer clothing. They help you adjust a system as temperatures fall or activity slows. CEDEER Camo’s Arctic Mid Layer Shirt and Pants offer options for upper and lower body warmth. Begin with the conditions you expect to face and the space available beneath your jacket, trousers or bibs, then compare each garment’s listed construction.

Choose insulation for the way you hunt

A long sit may call for a different combination than a sustained climb. Think about how much time you will spend moving, how exposed your position is and whether you can carry additional clothing. Grid fleece, polar fleece and stretch details should be assessed using the relevant product description. Listed garment weights and fabric information can help you compare pieces, but they do not establish a universal temperature rating.

Check how the layers work together

Mid layers should fit comfortably over your foundation without making the outer garment restrictive. Test bending, reaching and sitting with the complete outfit on. Pay attention to waistbands, cuffs and areas where multiple seams overlap. Check that the shirt fits beneath your jacket and that the pants leave enough room inside your outer trousers. Consult the sizing information for each item rather than assuming the same size label guarantees the same fit.

Manage changing conditions throughout the day

Adjust clothing before an active approach makes you excessively warm, and add insulation when you stop if conditions call for it. Keep suitable outer protection available because fleece insulation alone should not be treated as a rain shell. Follow the sewn in care label and allow garments to dry appropriately between uses. Review the condition of seams and fabric as part of your regular preparation. Browse the mid layers above to compare current sizes, photographs and descriptions. Build a clothing system that can be adjusted in practical steps, and ask CEDEER Camo about any fit or construction detail that needs clarification before purchasing. Useful insulation works best within a clothing system you understand.
