The Adventure Zippy Midlayer is the warmest piece every cold-weather family reaches for first. Made from midweight 100% merino wool, it's soft enough for sensitive skin, breathable enough for warm days, and cozy enough for cold ones.
Merino wool regulates temperature naturally, so your baby stays comfortable whether you're hiking in the heat or layering under a bunting in the snow. It wicks moisture before they notice it, resists odors after a long day out, and comes out of the wash looking brand new.
The two-way zipper means fast changes from either end. No fully undressing your baby on a cold trailhead. Fold-over hand mitts keep little fingers warm and protected from sun and wind. And the generous sizing means you'll get more seasons out of each size than you'd expect.
Wear it as a base layer under a down suit on ski days, or on its own for cool-weather hikes, camping trips, and everything in between. Customers have taken this zippy from Alaskan glaciers to California backcountry to New England winters and it comes back looking great every time.

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.
