Chêne Gear Base Layer Bottoms Collection

Base layer bottoms are the next-to-skin layer worn under waders and field pants, adding warmth and moisture management without bulk on cold sits and long walk-ins.

The Merino Bottom uses natural merino wool to regulate temperature and resist odor across multi-day hunts. Pair it with a base layer top to build the full base layer system.

Start warm at the skin and every layer over it works better.

Chêne Gear Base Layer Bottoms Collection FAQs

They add warmth and wick moisture next to the skin, keeping you comfortable on cold, still sits and long walk-ins without adding bulk under waders or field pants.

Yes. Merino regulates in both directions, warm when it is cold and breathable when you heat up, and it resists odor over multi-day trips.

Field pants or waders. On the coldest days, an insulated fleece wader pant can layer over the base bottom for extra warmth.

The Chêne Merino Wool Bottom is the thermal layer that goes on before the waders: natural wool construction that regulates temperature across the full range of a cold water morning, wicking moisture without retaining odor across extended wear. Cut specifically to layer cleanly under wader pants without bunching at the boot or hip. One piece with a clear, specific role in a well-built layering system. Start here and build up.
