about iksplor
tell me more
We are a family owned company based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Sisters Kailey and Karissa founded iksplor with their mom, and biggest cheerleader, Barb. Our childhood was built on adventure and time spent outdoors as a family. We created iksplor so that other parents could give the same experiences to their kids, too, just more easily than before. So we designed go-to merino wool adventure clothing and essentials from a brand they trust.
but isn't wool itchy?
This isn’t your Nanna’s wool. Our merino wool is superfine at 18.9 microns, meaning it is a perfect next-to-skin fibre for year-round use. It’s great for baby’s sensitive skin – research has even shown it to help reduce the redness of skin conditions like eczema. It's also the perfect fibre to help little ones regulate their temperature, which babies have a tough time doing! Research has also shown that babies swaddled in merino settle more quickly and fall asleep faster. YES, you read that right!
is merino safe for infants?
Babies are prone to skin irritations, which can be caused by the harmful chemicals found in some children's clothing. That’s why we test our fabric every time we order it to ensure it is free of any unsnuggly bits. Studies have even shown that merino wool is less irritating to infants skin than cotton.
is your wool sustainable, ethical and traceable?
Yes! The wool we purchase is ZQ accredited merino wool from New Zealand, the world’s leading accreditation for ethical wool. ZQ is sustainable and traceable back to sheep that have been treated awesomely! ZQ merino growers believe in farming sustainably, which reflects our own commitment as a children’s brand to our children and the generations that follow them. ZQ Merino is audited by a third party to ensure the highest standards in fibre quality, animal welfare and health, social responsibility, and care for the environment and program management. You can learn all about ZQ merino here - https://www.discoverzq.com/.
what is bluesign approved?
Our merino is knit and dyed in a bluesign accredited manufacturing plant. This accreditation system ensures our fabric not only meets the highest standards for quality, but also for the health and safety of the environment during manufacturing as well as the workers who are producing our goods.
where do you make your clothes?
Iksplor’s cutting and sewing takes place right here in the USA by a woman-owned manufacturing plant. Our manufacturer is a leader and advocate for bringing apparel production back to the USA.
how do you ensure quality?
Quality is incredibly important to us. We started by sourcing the highest quality fibre in the world, ZQ accredited merino from New Zealand, and we’ve been conscious about choosing incredible partners for every step of our supply chain. At the end of the day, we are a small team with little ones as well and we know mistakes can happen. Please reach out to us if you receive a damaged or defective item at letsgo@iksplor.com or 1-866-457-7567.
what size should I buy?
We know online shopping for kids can be hard! Our products have been designed to provide a little more length than your average garment so that your quickly-growing little one can get at least 6 months out of our pieces. Please take a look at our size charts available on each of our product pages for more information. But, let's face it, getting your kids to stay still for a measuring tape is asking a lot. Just give us a call if you have any questions at 1-866-457-7567.
how do you give back?
In an effort to bring the magical properties of wool to kids everywhere we are partnering with organizations and hospitals to donate our premium swaddle blankets and layers. We also offer the Iksplor More Send Back Initiative, which helps take the responsibility of disposing of your children’s clothing off your chest by sending it back to us to be re-used or composted. In return you will receive 15% off your next order.
