First Lite Men's Kiln Long Sleeve Crew - Dry Earth

From frosty September dawns to crisp late-October sits, the First Lite Kiln Long Sleeve Crew is the versatile merino top you’ll reach for all season. As the successor to the Chama series, the Kiln refines fit and performance with midweight 250 Merino-X fabric—delivering warmth, breathability, fast dry times, and natural odor resistance. Wear it next-to-skin in cool weather or as a midlayer when temperatures drop.

Why It Works

Merino-X combines ultrafine 18.5-micron merino with a touch of spandex in a lofty interlock knit. The result is a durable, high-loft fabric that traps heat, wicks moisture, and moves with you during long hikes, climbs, and all-day sits—without the stink.
