First Lite Men’s Kiln Hoody - Camo Merino Wool Base Layer, Midweight Thermal Cold Weather Hunting Gear for Men

I bought the kiln hoody and wick boxers as my first few things from first lite. I had high expectations on them as its all you see online. Everyone claims FL has the best base layers out there. Having come from cheap walmart stuff.... the FL seemed expensive and like a waste of money...boy was i wrong. The value is reflected with the cost, both are high. After using my kiln for over a year i can say its my favorite part of my kit. If i feel like being comfortable i will have my kiln hoody on and wick boxers. I now only wear first lite and i am very impressed with the fit and comfort. Its hard to understand how nice merino is until you get some good quality merino. If its not you stay cool, if its cold you stay warm. The only dislike about all merino is the wet sheep smell you get once you start getting wet, but thats all merino. Otherwise there is nothing bad to say about how my kiln has held up in the last year.

Super light weight and warm

I wear this thing everyday! Wash it every so here and there. Very comfortable. Have used it as a top layer with 2 long sleeve shirts in 20 degree weather and was just fine. Wear it with a t shirt underneath down to 45. Very stretchy. Great for layering. Hood fits perfect. Wicks sweat nicely. The only bad thing I personally don’t like it how long it takes to dry once it’s soaked. It’ll dry quickly but feel damp for a long while. Probably be good for warmer months (which I haven’t used it any season but winter) overall 9/10 from me.

Why did I wait so kind to buy this hoodie! It’s perfect. Love the weight, softness and comfort. You owe it to yourself to get one. I love the longer zipper length and the zippered chest pocket is perfect for holding a hand warmer when it gets colder. The hood forms around face and covers the forehead, head, neck and throat. Thin enough to fit under a beanie without sacrificing strength or insulating capability. First Lite products are the best you can buy for any money and are very reasonably priced for the quality you receive. Thank you First Lite!!

I constantly get hot in thermals and or get itchy arm hairs but the first light fits more like a long sleeve T-shirt in the arms and is always warm and nice to wear.

I'm a more than full time outdoor guy, run a landscaping company in TN mountains. Also hunter, fish , hike ...the bizThis is my favorite new layer for all occasions

It's a very nice hoodie. I like that the zipper covers part of the face when fully zipped up. The zipper seems to do a good job of not getting caught up on the fabric. And the merino does a good job adapting to the temperature to keep you comfortable. I just don't understand why it says America on its country of origin spot on Amazon when the producta tags clearly say made in China. For $135 I was definitely disappointed to see that tag.

I love this underlayer top. It's the foist I ever had with a hood. The hood is a nice hugging fit and lightweight so as not to block peripheral vision. Also the merino wool is soft, warm and comfy.
