Merino Adventure Midweight Leggings
"These are the first wool leggings I've tried that have felt perfect from the first moment. I will be ordering these in all the colors." — verified Iksplor family
Your standalone merino legging. Thicker and warmer than the Baselayer Legging, built to be worn on its own, to the trail, around camp, or anywhere a day takes you.
Where the Iksplorer Baselayer Legging goes under everything, the Adventure Midweight Legging stands on its own. Built from 230gsm merino wool, it's the legging you reach for when one layer is all you need.
- 230gsm merino wool. Noticeably thicker and warmer than the baselayer, built for real cold
- High waist with drawstring. Stays put all day without digging in or rolling down
- Built-in UPF 50. Natural, chemical-free sun protection in every fibre
- Temperature-regulating. Warm enough for cold trail days, breathable enough for active ones
- Naturally odour-resistant. Wear multiple days without washing, less laundry, more time outside
- Sensory-friendly. Soft enough for even the most sensitive skin
- Machine washable. Gets softer with every wash
The legging your wardrobe has been waiting for.
Built from 230gsm 100% merino wool, the Adventure Midweight Legging is designed to be worn on its own rather than under other layers. Thicker and warmer than the Iksplorer Baselayer Legging, it holds its shape through full days of activity and keeps you genuinely warm without needing anything over the top.
The high waist with drawstring sits flat and comfortable all day — no digging in, no rolling down, and no bunching under other waistbands if you do choose to layer over it on colder days. The drawstring update introduced in Fall 2024 was an immediate hit with Iksplor families who called it a game changer for fit and function.
Merino regulates temperature naturally, so the Adventure Midweight Legging works through a wider range of conditions than a standard legging. Cool enough for active days on the trail, warm enough for cold mornings at camp, and odour-resistant enough to wear multiple days without washing.
Sizing note: Fits true to size with a comfortable, relaxed cut. If you have a curvier build through the hips or prefer more room, sizing up will give the best fit.

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
Merino pulls moisture away from the skin, keeping you dry and warm on every adventure.
Your skin deserves the softest touch, and merino delivers without any itch.
Not too hot, not too cold - merino intuitively adapts, ensuring you stay comfy, cozy and cool.
Cause life. Our merino is machine washable and can be laid flat or tumbled to dry.
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 iksplorer legging can be composted in six months.
- 100% natural merino wool—renewable and biodegradable
- machine-washable for easy care
