Skwala Thermo 260 Bottom - Merino Baselayer Pants

The Skwala Thermo 260 Bottom is a warm, comfortable Merino baselayer designed for anglers who fish through cold conditions. Sitting in the middle of Skwala’s Thermo range, it delivers dependable warmth without bulk — ideal under waders during winter lake fishing in Victoria or long days on the rivers of Tasmania and New Zealand.

• 260-gram midweight Merino wool baselayer for warmth without excess bulk

• 95% ultrafine Merino wool with stretch for comfort and mobility

• Naturally moisture-wicking and odour-resistant for multi-day trips

• Double jersey knit interior and exterior for durability and next-to-skin comfort

• Designed to pair with the Thermo 260 Zip top for a complete layering system

• Lightweight under-wader insulation that works well for hiking or active fishing

A good day fishing in cold weather starts with the right layer closest to your skin. The Thermo 260 Bottom is built from premium Merino wool, a material trusted for decades for its ability to trap heat, wick moisture away from the body, and stay comfortable even when damp.

At 260-gram weight, it sits right between lightweight and heavy winter layers, making it extremely versatile. It provides enough insulation for cold mornings or winter lake sessions, while still breathing well when you’re hiking into a river or moving between spots. The Merino blend also naturally resists odour, making it a great choice for multi-day fishing trips where comfort matters.

The result is a baselayer that feels soft against the skin, regulates temperature well, and holds up to long days under waders.

Who is this for?

This is the sort of baselayer you’ll appreciate when the wind is cutting across a Victorian lake in the middle of winter, or when you’re wading cold rivers in Tasmania or New Zealand, where temperatures can stay low most of the season.

If you spend long days in waders and want warmth without bulky layering, the Thermo 260 Bottom is a reliable piece of kit to keep in the fishing wardrobe.
