Merino Wool Baselayer Legging
Warm without the bulk. This merino wool baselayer legging layers cleanly under anything, jeans, ski pants, hiking trousers, so you stay warm all winter without adding weight.
The baselayer that changed how people dress for winter.
The Iksplorer Merino Baselayer Legging is built to be worn under everything — ski pants on the mountain, hiking trousers on the trail, jeans on a cold day in town. Lightweight and slim-fitting, it adds genuine warmth without bulk, and the merino regulates temperature naturally so you stay comfortable as conditions change throughout the day.
The high waist with drawstring is a genuine upgrade from standard elastic waistbands. It sits flat under other waistbands without digging in, and keeps the legging in place through a full day of activity without needing to be pulled up. Customers who tried the updated Fall 2024 version called it a game changer.
Sizing note: The Iksplorer Baselayer Legging fits true to size with a slim, next-to-skin cut. If you are between sizes or have a curvier build through the hips, sizing up will give a more comfortable fit. Note that lighter colourways may be sheerer — size up and layer for those shades.
Looking for a legging to wear on its own? The Iksplorer Midweight Legging is our midweight standalone option.

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 and synthetic fabrics that sit in landfills for hundreds of years, this zippy composts in six months instead. It's 100% natural merino wool, renewable and biodegradable from sheep to soil.
