King's Camo XKG Foundation 260 Zip Off Merino Bottom – Olive, Size S

Overview

The XKG Foundation 260 Zip Off Merino Bottom is a next-to-skin base layer designed for cooler days in the field. Built from a 90% merino wool and 10% nylon blend, it combines a 260-gram knit with fine 19.5-micron fibers to deliver warmth without excess bulk. The result is a lightweight, breathable layer that maintains insulation during long pauses and steady climbs alike, making it a versatile option for autumn hunts and chilly morning hikes.

Comfort, Fit, and Construction

Designed for everyday wear in the outdoors, this bottom emphasizes comfort and durability. The natural softness of merino remains gentle against skin, while flatlock stitched seams help reduce rubbing during hours of activity. An elastic waistband provides a secure, streamlined fit, and the 3/4 length sits just above most boot tops for easier layering and removal when needed. Each leg features a full-length zipper, enabling quick changes without fully removing outer layers.

• 90% Merino Wool / 10% Nylon
• Flatlock stitched seams for smooth movement
• 3/4 length with full zipper on each leg
• Ultra breathable, no-itch comfort
• Natural odor control from merino fibers

Field Use and Benefits

In the field, adaptivity matters. When temps rise, unzip the legs and vent heat without removing boots, then re-layer as needed. The base layer remains snug to the body, aiding heat retention during cold starts and chilly sit-and-stay moments, while moisture management helps keep you dry during activity.

• Lightweight warmth pairs well with midweight outer layers
• Leg zippers enable rapid changes in response to shifting conditions
• Natural odor resistance supports longer wear between washes

Care, Longevity, and Versatility

Merino fibers inherently resist odor, which supports use across multi-day trips. The fabric’s elasticity helps it move with you under midlayers, and the flatlock seams contribute to a clean silhouette beneath outer garments. This bottom is a practical foundation piece for layered systems in cool or variable weather, offering possible warmth without committing to heavier midlayers.
