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 nursing hoodie composts in six months instead. It's 100% natural merino wool, renewable and biodegradable from sheep to soil.

what parents are saying

good to know

Is this really 100% merino wool? Plus

Yes, 100% Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) certified merino wool. No blends, no synthetic fillers, just the real thing.

Won't wool feel itchy on my kid's skin? Plus

Not with this merino. Superfine fibers are soft enough for sensitive skin, with none of the itch people associate with old wool sweaters.

Is this only good for winter, or can my kid wear it in summer too? Plus

Both. Merino regulates temperature naturally, so it works on cold mountain mornings and warm summer nights alike. Plenty of Iksplor kids wear theirs as pajamas all year round.

Can these go under snow pants as a ski base layer? Plus

Yes, that's exactly what they're built for. Soft, non-bulky, and warm enough to wear on their own or layered under snow pants on the mountain.

How should these fit? True to size, or room to grow? Plus

True to size, though they run a little long in length, so there's a bit of extra room to grow into through a growth spurt.

What happens when my kid outgrows them? Can I resell them? Plus

Yes. Send them back through Iksplor More for cash or credit, giving them a second life with another adventurer.
