NASH ZT Merino Stage 1 Base Layer Top

Product Highlights

Designed for demanding anglers, the NASH ZT Merino Stage 1 Top is a premium merino base layer that provides warmth, breathability and comfort throughout your session. This technical top is worn close to the body to optimize temperature management, whether you're stationary behind your rods or actively working the peg.

Thanks to the natural properties of merino wool, this technical fishing garment is extremely soft against the skin and suitable even for sensitive users. Fine fibers prevent itching while offering excellent thermal insulation, making it an ideal base under a jacket or fleece during cold-weather fishing.

Lightweight and compact, this base layer slips easily into a tackle bag or luggage for trips and road journeys. It adapts to many outdoor practices: carp fishing, mobile sessions, boat outings or any outdoor activity requiring effective thermal underwear.

Benefits and Key Strengths

The main advantage of this merino thermal base layer is its ability to adapt to changing weather. In cold conditions, the fiber traps a layer of warm air around the body. In warmer conditions, breathability prevents overheating and maintains a comfortable, dry feel.

Merino wool's natural anti-odor properties make this top particularly attractive for long fishing sessions or travel when frequent washing is difficult. Even after several days of wear it remains pleasant and odor-free, reducing the need for spare garments.

The fabric's softness and lack of itchiness make it a safe choice for those who are sensitive to synthetic fibers or conventional wools. Worn directly on the skin, this fishing thermal top significantly improves overall comfort and lets you enjoy time by the water, day or night.

Usage Tips

To get the most from the NASH ZT Merino Stage 1 Top, wear it as a close-fitting first layer. Add mid-layers and an outer jacket according to weather conditions. This multi-layer approach makes it easy to adapt to wind, rain or temperature changes throughout the day.

During summer sessions, the top can be worn alone as a light technical merino t-shirt. Breathability and moisture absorption limit excessive heat, while long sleeves offer extra sun protection during extended fishing trips.

After use, simply air the garment. Merino wool’s natural self-cleaning properties mean it doesn’t need washing after every outing. When washing, choose a gentle, low-temperature cycle with a wool-friendly detergent and lay flat to dry, away from direct heat sources.
