The Swazi Totem shirt is a great base layer shirt for any outdoor adventure. The Totem shirt is made from revolutionary Nuyarn® merino, known as the world’s first performance wool. 

Similar to processing foods, where nutrients are lost through milling, heating and fluid removal, wool, when processed, doesn’t typically have the same natural characteristics as it did when worn by a fluffy merino ewe in the high country. Hence, some would argue the full benefits of wool have never been captured due to how wool is processed.

Furthermore, Nuyarn® states, “Traditional spinning twists the life out of wool by compressing natural air pockets, introducing tension, creating loops and restricting the natural movement of the fibres – essentially creating a rope-like structure that can be itchy next to the skin”. Nuyarn® performance merino wool doesn’t twist the fibres; rather, it drafts wool fibres along a high-performance filament which results in two-ply yarns that possess more aeration (ability to circulate air) and volume, in forth, achieving greater performance gains overall.

The main feature of Nuyarn® wool is it's ability to recycle moisture ingress and in forth produce faster drying times – up to five times faster than conventional merino wool.

Wicking of water vapour and droplets has always been a strong characteristic of merino wool due to the increased aeration, and with Nuyarn® technology, it takes these properties to another level. On the durability front, Nuyarn® wool produces 35% more elasticity, 50% increase in tensile strength and 120% stronger seams than conventional ring-spun merino wool. As a result, this performance wool combines several durability factors to enable a garment life span of around 3.3 times greater than conventional merino wool. With greater volume and aeration (around 35% more), we see an increase in loft properties (level of insulation) which carries over into 35% gains achieved in thermal retention and 53% less air permeability (increase in windproofing ability).

So it's clear how Swazi Totem wool shirt should be a staple in your hunting gear!

The CORE+ base layer is a thick, extra warm base for cold conditions. The thermal properties retain the bodies core heat at the highest level in icy conditions and allow sweat to be wicked away quickly from the skin at a rapid rate. The compression weave is designed to cling tight to the body to help with muscle fatigue and rapid wicking.

The body-mapped design has been athletically shaped, so the high wicking fabric can sit tight to the body in order to absorb and disperse as much sweat as possible, all the while allowing maximum movement in the high stretch areas. The warm nature and fast sweat distribution properties mean that the Core+ is a perfect base layer under warm outers in cold climates as well as a standalone layer in the mild parts of the day.

The CORE+ should be used in temperatures ranging from -5C to 10C for maximum performance. For warmer conditions, the CORE range is recommended.
