    The Core+ Hood features the legendary Hunters Element thermal GRIDTech™ fleece, designed for superior insulation, breathability, and moisture-wicking performance. Built to keep you warm and comfortable from -5°C to 10°C, this slim-fit, hooded base layer with a centre front zip is engineered for hunters who demand all-day comfort and durability. The unique body-mapped compression weave enhances movement, relieves muscle fatigue, and ensures rapid moisture dispersal, making it the perfect choice for layering or wearing on its own in cooler conditions.

    An integrated slimline hood has a skull cap design, providing complete insulation without any uncomfortable bulk when paired with a barrier layer.

    KEY FEATURES:

    • Thermal GRIDTech™ technology – fast-wicking, fast-drying, and warmth-retaining
    • Designed to retain maximum heat and regulate moisture during exertion
    • Athletically shaped, body-mapped compression weave for maximum movement and muscle support
    • High-wicking fabric sits tight to the body for superior moisture control
    • 4-way stretch construction for all-day comfort and unrestricted mobility

    Fit Guide

    Slim fit with raglan sleeves, a contoured close-to-skin hood, and raised front neck for added coverage. 

    Core and Core+ are designed to fit snugly to the body.

      Core+ Top
      Rated 5 out of 5 stars
      Core+ his & hers are our standard essential base layers

      They wash well, line dry quickly and Hold their shape. Incredibly warm even if you get wet, I have sensitive dry skin and have had no issues to date. Great for alpine hiking, skiing, hunting and everyday use.

      Hubby wears his usual NZ XL size for both top and pants. Female size: Im NZ women’s size 10 but went to size 12 for alittle more body length to protect lower back. Size 12 pants has good length and I use waist drawstring to get a better fit.
