Iksplorer Merino Long Sleeve
Your every-season, every-adventure long sleeve.
The Adult Merino Iksplorer Long Sleeve is the workhorse piece your wardrobe has been missing. Built from 100% merino wool, it regulates temperature naturally so you stay comfortable from cold morning hikes to warm afternoon trails, without ever needing to peel off a layer.
- Relaxed fit: long enough for tall torsos
- Built-in UPF 50
- Temperature-regulating
- Naturally odor-resistant
- Machine washable: gets softer with every wash
The top that earns permanent residency in your rotation.
Built from 100% merino wool, the Adult Merino Iksplorer Long Sleeve does what no synthetic layer can. It regulates temperature naturally, wicks moisture before you notice it, and resists odour through days of wear. Wear it under a mid layer on the mountain, as a standalone top on the trail in spring, as a sleep shirt in a chilly tent, or under a cardigan for a day in town. Most Iksplor families find they are reaching for it almost every single day once it lands in their wardrobe.
The thumb holes keep sleeves where they belong under gloves and jackets. The extra length tucks in properly without riding up. And the fit is designed to work both ways — flattering enough to wear on its own, fitted enough to layer cleanly underneath something else.
Sizing note: The Iksplorer Long Sleeve fits with a relaxed cut. For a fitted base layer feel, size down. For a looser everyday top, stay true to size.
Fabric
100% Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) Merino Wool
200gsm, 18.9 micron — lightweight, breathable, and perfect for year-round use
Where It's Made
Our merino wool pieces are thoughtfully crafted in Vietnam by skilled artisans following RWS guidelines. We believe in producing responsibly and sustainably, ensuring fair working conditions for the people behind our products.
How to Care
- Machine wash on the gentle cycle with cool or cold water and a mild or wool-specific detergent
- Lay flat to dry to preserve shape and softness, or tumble dry on low with similar items
- Hang outside for a few hours to refresh between washes — merino naturally resists odours and bacteria, so it rarely needs a full wash
Storage
Store in a clean, dry space. Use airtight bags or bins and add cedar blocks or lavender sachets to prevent moths. Wash or air out periodically to remove any residue that may attract them.

the magic of merino
better adventures
The next-to-skin layer is the most important! Our merino will keep you dry, warm and comfortable making for better, longer adventures outdoors.
better for the planet
Merino comes from our wooly friends, the merino sheep. Unlike polyester/synthetic fabrics that end up in our landfills for hundreds of years (yikes), the adult long sleeve can be composted in six months.
- 100% natural merino wool—renewable and biodegradable
- machine-washable for easy care
