NASH ZT Merino Stage 1 Bottoms Base Layer

Product benefits

The NASH ZT Merino Stage 1 Bottoms base layer is designed to deliver maximum comfort to anglers and outdoor enthusiasts seeking a high-end technical base layer. Extremely lightweight, soft against the skin and comfortable for all-day wear, it is aimed at those who want top performance in their activewear.

Thanks to its natural merino wool, this thermal bottom does not itch and is suitable even for sensitive skin. Fine fibers reduce irritation while hypoallergenic properties contribute to long-lasting comfort, whether at the water's edge, on a bivouac or on the move. Its close-fitting cut follows the body's silhouette to optimize insulation without restricting movement.

Merino wool has recognized antibacterial and odor-resistant properties. The fabric helps you stay fresher longer and can be worn for several days in a row without an unpleasant clammy feeling. For extended fishing sessions or travel, this is a real advantage.

Designed as a thermal first layer, these bottoms effectively complement a technical clothing system. They improve the performance of outer layers while remaining discreet and highly compact when packed, making them easy to slip into a fishing bag or luggage.

Advantages and product highlights

The main advantage of these bottoms is their ability to maintain a stable body temperature. Merino wool insulates against the cold while allowing the skin to breathe, preventing overheating when activity intensifies. In variable conditions, it helps preserve a consistent feeling of comfort.

Moisture-management properties are essential for anglers exposed to changing weather. The fabric absorbs sweat, distributes it and releases it gradually, limiting the sensation of wet fabric clinging to the skin and reducing the risk of chills when temperatures drop.

Thanks to its naturally anti-odor structure, the NASH ZT Merino Stage 1 Bottoms can be worn for several days without immediate washing, a major benefit for long sessions or road trips. This characteristic makes it an ideal travel base layer for trips abroad or remote camps.

Its low bulk makes it easy to keep on hand as an extra safety layer. It can be quickly added under trousers when temperatures fall, without weighing down your kit.

Usage advice

The NASH ZT Merino Stage 1 Bottoms are worn directly against the skin as a merino wool base layer. It is recommended to wear them under fishing trousers or any other technical garment to fully benefit from their insulation and moisture-regulating properties.

For stationary activities in cold weather, they can be paired with a secondary insulating layer and a windproof or waterproof outer shell. During more intense effort, adjust outer layers according to activity level to stay dry and avoid overheating.

Proper care prolongs the garment's performance. It is generally recommended to wash merino wool at low temperature with a mild detergent, avoid excessive fabric softener, and air dry. Always check and follow the care instructions on the product label.
