The Hunters Element CORE Top is a lightweight thermal base layer designed to regulate body temperature and manage moisture during hunting and outdoor activities. Featuring highly breathable four-way stretch polyester fabric, it provides comfortable warmth beneath insulating layers while allowing excess heat to escape when exposed to cooler air. Its athletic, body-mapped construction combines supportive compression with rapid moisture-wicking technology, keeping the fabric close to the skin for effective temperature regulation. Designed for temperatures between 5°C and 15°C, the CORE Top offers a versatile balance of warmth, breathability and mobility for changing outdoor conditions.
Key Features
- Advanced Temperature Regulation: Heat control technology provides warmth beneath insulating layers while allowing the fabric to cool rapidly when exposed to external air, helping maintain comfort as activity levels and conditions change.
- High-Performance Moisture Management: Breathable polyester fabric efficiently wicks perspiration away from the skin and disperses moisture, helping reduce dampness during demanding hunting and outdoor activities.
- Supportive Compression Fit: Close-fitting compression construction provides gentle muscle support while keeping the fabric against the skin for effective moisture transfer and reduced bunching beneath outer layers.
- Four-Way Stretch & Athletic Mobility: Flexible polyester fabric and anatomically shaped construction allow natural movement during climbing, stalking and demanding backcountry activities.
- Body-Mapped Construction & Flat-Lock Seams: Strategically designed fabric zones optimise breathability and flexibility, while low-profile flat-lock stitching helps minimise friction and irritation during extended wear.
- Versatile All-Weather Performance: Designed for temperatures between 5°C and 15°C, providing comfortable warmth beneath hunting jackets while remaining breathable during warmer or more active conditions.

Fit Guide
The CORE Top features a close-fitting athletic compression design intended to sit against the skin for effective moisture management. For the best fit, lay a favourite top or base layer flat and compare its chest width and length with the measurements above.
Note: Measurements refer to the garment, not body dimensions. A variation of up to 1cm is within the manufacturer's tolerance. For colder conditions below 5°C, the Hunters Element CORE+ range is recommended for additional insulation.
