First Lite Furnace Quarter Zip – Merino Wool Fleece Camouflage Midlayer (Walnut, Small)

Warmth and versatility for late-season hunts

Meet the Furnace Quarter Zip, a heavyweight midlayer built to withstand frosty mornings, damp fields, and brisk wind drifts. Crafted with heavyweight 350g Merino-X EXP fabric (95% merino / 5% spandex), it supplies steady warmth while offering just enough stretch to move with you during treks, staged climbs, or quiet waits in a tree stand.

The brushed fleece backing adds a soft, comforting contact against the skin and enhances insulation, so you can stay comfortable without added bulk that would slow your approach at close range.

Field-ready warmth and moisture management

• Warmth plus mobility: The dense merino blend traps heat yet flexes with your movements, reducing stiffness during long sits.
• Odor resistance and silent operation: Merino fibers help stay discreet in still air, important for approaching wary game.
• Moisture-wicking base layer synergy: Designed to pull sweat away from the skin, keeping you dry during hiking and climbing.
• Ventilation-ready design: High collar and quarter zip let you regulate heat on the fly without exposing your core to chill.

Designed for movement and layering

• Raglan sleeves maximize range of motion when wearing a pack or harness, reducing sleeve restriction.
• Ergonomic thumb loops help keep sleeves in place on cold, windy hunts even when you reach beyond your torso.
• Flatlock seams minimize friction and chafing across the torso during long days of hiking.
• Breathable wool with quiet performance supports stealth across varied terrain.

In practical field use, the Furnace Quarter Zip serves as both a thermal base layer and a midlayer under a weather shell, depending on temperature and activity. The superfine 20.5 micron wool delivers a soft touch next to skin while maintaining durability in rugged terrain. The fabric’s natural odor resistance and quiet performance help you stay undetected during stalks, ambushes, or crosswind waits behind brush. Layer it under a lightweight shell for added protection in windy mornings or harsher weather, and you’ll notice how easy it is to adjust heat without removing layers mid-hunt.

Color, fit, and versatility: available in Walnut and sized Small in this selection, the piece offers a close-to-body feel that layers neatly under outerwear. The non-bulky silhouette reduces snag risk on branches or gear straps, making it a practical companion on treks, stand sits, or long climbs through pine and hardwood stands. Pair it with First Lite camo patterns for a cohesive, low-profile look across diverse hunting environments.
