If you want something done right, sometimes you have to do it yourself—and that’s exactly why I created the Forged Base Series. A complete redesign from the ground up, this next-to-skin base layer system was built for unmatched comfort, durability, and performance in the backcountry.
🔥 Why I Built It:
For years, we searched for the perfect pair of base layers—especially boxers—that could withstand the grind of multi-day hunts. After brands cut corners and changed fabrics, I decided to create my own.
⚡ What Makes It Different?
✅ Premium Fabric Blend – We tested multiple materials before landing on a Modal & Spandex blend: • Modal: Bio-based, ultra-soft, breathable, moisture-wicking, and antimicrobial • Spandex: Just the right amount of stretch for all-day mobility • Durability: Resists pilling, shrinkage, and holds its shape over time
✅ Dialed-In Fit • Mid-thigh length for a secure fit • Supportive waistband without discomfort • Legs that stay in place without restriction
✅ Built for Performance • Top-access fly for convenience with a pack hip belt • Strategic mesh panels for breathability in high-heat zones • No chafing, no hot spots, no compromises
This is base layer apparel designed for the modern backcountry hunter—because when the foundation is strong, performance follows.
