Vital S1 Short Sleeve Crew | Valo

Best For: Ultralight Base Layer
Boosted by XLANCE, the all-new Vital S1 is our lightest and most comfortable synthetic base layer to date. With an ultralight 105 g/m² fabric weight and a mesh matrix for high breathability, it offers a silky next-to-skin feel with exceptional moisture-wicking and quick-drying performance-perfect for high-output ascents followed by extended glassing sessions and the unpredictable temperature swings of mountain hunting.
XLANCE brings entirely new performance to hunting apparel: an advanced polyolefin-based stretch yarn with built-in resistance to sweat, chemicals, heat, ozone, and UVA/UVB radiation. This delivers long-lasting elasticity and garment durability while staying incredibly light. It overcomes the typical pitfalls of spandex and elastane -excess weight, bacterial odor retention, slow drying, and loss of shape over time.
Unlike the aggressive snap-back of traditional elastane, XLANCE provides gentle, low-force stretch that’s noticeably more comfortable and fatigue-free during dynamic movement, yet it maintains excellent recovery for season-after-season reliability.
