First Lite Men's Furnace Quarter Zip – Merino Wool Fleece Camo Midlayer for Cold Hunts

Premium warmth for late-season hunts

The First Lite Furnace Quarter Zip delivers substantial warmth without added bulk, thanks to heavyweight 350g Merino-X EXP fabric engineered for serious hunters. The fabric blends 95% merino with 5% spandex, creating a soft, responsive feel that moves with you on demanding climbs and long sits.

The brushed fleece backing enhances insulation and comfort, providing a cozy inner layer that helps regulate temperature as conditions shift from still-cold to warmer pauses in the day. Expect steady warmth without overheating, and a quiet, low-profile silhouette ideal for stealth in dense cover.

Layering and performance you can count on

Designed as a versatile midlayer, this quarter zip pairs well with light base layers or outer shells. The high collar adds neck warmth, while the moisture-wicking properties keep sweat from cooling against your skin during active treks or extended waits.

Strategic design features support comfortable movement: modified raglan sleeves fit beneath packs, ergonomic thumb loops keep sleeves in place, and flatlock seams minimize chafing when layering under a pack or shell.

Odor resistance and silent operation

Constructed with superfine 20.5 micron merino wool, the garment maintains odor resistance and quiet performance—two subtle advantages that can matter in still-hunting scenarios or when you're trying to stay unseen behind cover.
