WORKWEAR
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.
