Two Premium Fibers. One Bulletproof Layering System.
When you’re five days from the next resupply and the temperature drops faster than the sun, your gear shouldn’t just be "good enough." It needs to work as a system.
We’ve teamed up with our friends at Wuru Wool to define the ultimate layering strategy for the long-haul hiker. By pairing the natural performance of Wuru’s Merino wool with SkyGOAT’s technical micro-grid fleece, we’ve created a system that maximizes warmth, minimizes weight, and keeps you moving comfortably through any elevation change.
Why This Combo Works
The Foundation: Wuru Merino Base Layers
Every system starts at the skin. Wuru’s Merino wool is the gold standard for long-distance comfort. Plus it’s Made in the USA, right in Salt Lake City, UT.
• Odor Resistance: Because "the stink" is real, but your base layer shouldn't prove it. Merino Wool is naturally odor resistant.
• Moisture Management: Merino pulls sweat away from your body, keeping you dry and preventing that next to skin chill. Staying dry is staying warm.
• Thermoregulation: It keeps you cool when the sun is out and warm when the clouds roll in.
The Warmth: SkyGOAT Micro-Grid Mid-Layers
This is where the magic happens. Our micro-grid fleece is designed to keep the right amount of warm air against your body while allowing excess heat to escape.
• The Weight-to-Warmth King: We’ve cut the bulk without sacrificing the loft. It’s the piece that stays in your pack because it weighs next to nothing, but stays on your body because it feels like a warm hug.
• Highly Breathable: Unlike traditional fleeces, the micro-grid pattern lets your skin breathe during high-output climbs.
• Fast Drying: Caught in a localized shower? SkyGOAT sheds moisture and dries significantly faster than traditional knits.
The Shell: Your Outer Layer
Finish the system with your favorite rain shell or heavier winter outerlayer. The shell stops the wind, SkyGOAT holds the heat, and Wuru keeps you dry. It’s a three-part harmony that handles 95% of trail conditions.
The goal isn't to carry more gear. The goal is to carry the right gear. When you pair Wuru and SkyGOAT, you're packing a system that handles the desert's heat and the mountain's frost without the weight penalty.
