ScentLok’s versatile Merino 250 Baselayer collection provides warmth, comfort, and breathability |
|
MUSKEGON, Mich. (September 12, 2025) – ScentLok has been a leader in the advancement of merino wool for outdoor pursuits. Most recently, the pioneering company introduced the Merino 250 Hoodie to great acclaim. Its success led ScentLok to develop the new Merino 250 Baselayer collection, expanding their assortment constructed with the organic, warm, and comfortable fabric. The new ScentLok Merino 250 ¼ Zip, Hoodie and Bottom are ideal baselayers, offering outstanding thermal regulation, breathability, and next-to-skin comfort. Designed with flatlock seam construction, the merino collection also ensures maximum durability and comfort, allowing for unrestricted movement throughout the day. Say goodbye to sweat and odor distractions—our naturally moisture-wicking and antimicrobial merino wool keeps you feeling fresh and dry, even during the most intense activities. “There are so many awesome aspects of the Merino 250 Baselayers,” said Allie. “The first things that come to mind are its softness, durability, and how the fabric can stretch but not lose its shape. If you ever wore an older merino garment, you recall how it quickly got stretched out and kept getting looser fitting. By adding spandex, the Merino 250 Baselayers will fit the same, hunt after hunt, washing after washing.” |

Odor prevention at the skin layer is important, too. The Merino 250 Baselayer’s natural antimicrobial properties get the scent control process underway before even adding ScentLok carbon outerwear. And you’ll be thoroughly impressed at its ability to wick moisture away from your skin. What is Merino wool? It’s a superfine natural fiber that’s sheared from Merino sheep. Originally from Spain, Merino sheep are now raised in South America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United States. Key to merino wool of the highest quality is the diameter of its fibers, measured in microns (one millionth of a meter). For example, routine merino wool measures in the low 20’s, whereas ScentLok’s Merino 250 Baselayers come in at 18.5 microns. That means more of merino wool’s beneficial properties per square inch of material. (To give you an idea of how fine that is, human hairs average between 50 and 100 microns.) |

Temperature Regulation Merino wool adapts to your body’s needs. It provides warmth when it’s cold and offers breathability when required. The garment naturally regulates based on the weather conditions. Odor Resistance While ScentLok is famous for its carbon technology, in the case of the Merino 250 Baselayers, the fabric alone offers native antimicrobial properties. This comes from a sheep’s ability to produce natural wax (sheep grease) that repels water and prevents the accumulation of bacteria, mold, and fungus. Moisture Wicking Specialty fabrics and treatments, including some of those from ScentLok, are purposed for wicking moisture off your skin. Merino wool? It naturally lifts perspiration off and away, as it does for sheep. Elasticity Unlike conventional wool, merino wool offers a degree of elasticity. Meaning, the fabric holds its shape. For the objectives of the Merino 250 Baselayers, ScentLok blended in 5% spandex to add the stretch and motion-promotion required for hunting. In the words of ScentLok Director of Marketing, Steve Allie, the baselayers “rebound well and holds their structure.” Softness This is the no-brainer. Instantly feel the softness with one touch of the fabric. This translates into maximum comfort against your skin. Hypoallergenic Maybe not a requirement for hunting, but it’s factual, nonetheless. Merino wool is officially recognized as asthma and allergy friendly by the international certification body Allergy Standards Limited (ASL). |

Warmth Through Loft ScentLok’s new BE:1 Puffy Jacket and Pant bring quality and field performance to a popular style MUSKEGON, Mich. (June 24, 2026) – Some things just look warm. Regrettably, a percentage of those things fail to live up to their appearances. Such is often the case with outerwear. More specifically, outerwear for hunting. Consider the puffy jacket. You can literally slide into one online for under $40. The Photoshopped Ai model sure looks svelte and comfy, but that unrecognizable brand is a little wonky. Unpronounceable, really. Never seen it before. And why is it only available from international ecommerce juggernauts? Because it’s crap. The polar opposite is true when new hunting outerwear drops from a legacy manufacturer, like ScentLok. And so it is with their new BE:1 Puffy Jacket and Pant. Dark Slate NEW Realtree XT-3 Delivering on-demand warmth, the BE:1 Jacket and Pant are extraordinarily comfortable and sporty looking to boot. Typically, ScentLok product descriptions open with the company’s “fabric-first” promise, but in this case, we’re diving into the insulation first. The outerwear duo’s Sorona® Aura insulation delivers higher fill power than similar weight polyester insulations, providing a lighter, warmer garment with less filling, which allows for greater packability. Made from the Sorona polymer, a performance fiber that is about 37% plant‑based rather than fully petroleum‑derived, Sorona Aura traps air while remaining thin and flexible and less bulky than traditional synthetic fills. It’s also breathable, designed to let moisture vapor easily escape, helping regulate body temperature and reduce that awful clammy feeling during active use. Sorona Aura also maintains its loft wash after wash. ScentLok takes another step by thermal-mapping the insulation into particular zones. In the BE:1 Puffy Jacket, for example, the chest area – the body’s furnace – contains 80g of Sorona Aura, while the arm insulation is throttled back to 60g to advance mobility. The BE:1 Puffy Pant features 60g of insulation throughout. The final insulation related trait is the baffling. Those sewn seams with individual insulation pockets aren’t for style-points only – they hold the insulation in place, defying gravity and time. Additionally, baffling promotes lofting, which means more warm air is captured. Despite the luscious and lofty insulation, the BE:1 Jacket and Pant are surprisingly packable. “They easily store in a field bag or daypack, so you can carry them into the field for a sit or take them off if the weather heats up,” said Allie. To thwart the olfactory senses of big game, the BE:1 Puffy Jacket and Pant include ScentLok’s Carbon Alloy® scent control technology. Carbon Alloy combines treated carbon, activated carbon, and zeolite to absorb odors emitted by your body. Carbon Alloy utilizes natural coconut shell carbon, as it has the largest internal surface area of any carbon on earth. This massive surface area promotes the adsorption of the broadest scent molecule range. It innately secures these molecules and holds them until you reactivate your gear in a household dryer. The BE:1 Puffy Jacket and Pant are structured of a durable, ripstop nylon outer fabric with soft peached lining – the lining feels easy on the skin and welcomes layering like butter. The shell is also DWR treated to help shed moisture and resist staining. The elbows are articulated for improved fit and mobility. Articulation, or pre-curvature, is a design feature where the fabric at the elbow is shaped and seamed to match the natural bend of the arm. The jacket also features a high-neck for added wind protection and an intelligently designed hood. The hood is constructed of three unique fabric patterns for better sculpting and hold, even while turning from side to side. Moreover, the hood is purposely cut to position behind your eye for better peripheral vision. The BE:1 Puffy Jacket also offers five strategically placed pockets for securing essentials and an adjustable waist to lock in heat and customize fit. The matching pants include specialty features as well, like invisible zippers on the center front fly and pair of front waist pockets. An internal drawcord can be tied on the outside or inside of the waistband. And 18-inch side seam zippers yield easy donning and doffing in the field, boots on.
