FAQs
What makes Pnuma base layers different from others? Pnuma base layers are designed specifically for hunters, using premium merino wool and high-performance fabrics that balance warmth, breathability, and silence in the field.
Should I choose merino wool or synthetic base layers? Merino wool is best for scent control and natural temperature regulation, while synthetic blends offer quick-drying performance and lightweight versatility. Pnuma offers both to match your needs.
Are these base layers good for active hunts? Yes. These base layers are breathable, moisture-wicking, and designed for high-exertion activities like spot-and-stalk hunting or backcountry elk hunts.
Can I wear these base layers alone in warmer weather? Absolutely. They’re lightweight and soft enough to wear solo during early season or high-temperature hunts.
Do Pnuma base layers fit under other hunting gear? Yes. All base layers are made with an athletic cut for easy layering under insulation and outerwear without bunching or bulk.
