Merino Wool Baselayer Legging
The Iksplorer Merino Baselayer Legging is designed to be worn under other layers. Lightweight enough to disappear under ski pants, warm enough to make a real difference when the temperature drops, and soft enough that you will forget you have it on.
- 100% merino wool. Buttery soft, next-to-skin comfort with nothing synthetic
- 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 in the cold, breathable when you heat up
- Naturally odour-resistant. Wear multiple days without washing, less laundry, more time outside
- Stealth warmth. Slim enough to layer invisibly under anything
- Sensory-friendly. Soft enough for even the most sensitive skin
- Machine washable. Gets softer with every wash
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

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 baselayer leggings can be composted in six months.
- 100% natural merino wool—renewable and biodegradable
- machine-washable for easy care
