A good base layer earns its place in your kit by working across as many conditions as possible, and that is exactly where the Swazi Hoodoo shines. Built from 78% Nuyarn Merino wool and 22% nylon, it combines the natural comfort of merino with improved durability, faster drying performance, and greater stretch.

Whether you are heading into cold, wet weather or spending long days on the move, the Hoodoo helps regulate body temperature while moving moisture away from your skin. It stays warm when conditions cool down, yet remains comfortable when temperatures rise. Even when damp, it continues to insulate and help maintain comfort.

The Nuyarn construction provides 35% greater thermal retention, 35% more elasticity, and 50% greater durability than conventional merino. It is also more wind resistant while remaining soft and lightweight enough to wear directly against the skin.

At only 150g (5.3oz) in size Large, it disappears into your pack when not needed. Pull it on as a base layer during colder months or wear it on its own when conditions are mild and it quickly proves why quality merino remains a favourite for outdoor use.
