Kids Merino Adventure Short
Everything you love about Iksplor merino, in a shorts cut made for warmer adventures. Wear solo on hot days, layer under rain pants on cool ones.
Why They'll Love it
- 100% merino wool: buttery soft and breathable, nothing synthetic next to skin
- Temperature-regulating: comfortable as the day heats up and cools down
- Built-in UPF 50: natural, chemical-free sun protection on every adventure
- Room to grow: each size covers a two-year range so you get more wear per purchase
- Machine washable: simple care for busy families
The baselayer legging gets the cold months. These get everything else.
The Kids Merino Adventure Short is built from 100% merino wool in a relaxed cut designed for warm weather days. Merino regulates temperature naturally so kids stay comfortable through changing conditions — cool enough for hot trails, warm enough for breezy evenings at camp. The built-in UPF 50 means sun protection on covered skin without sunscreen.
On cooler mornings or at altitude they layer cleanly under rain pants or a shell without adding bulk. And like everything in the Iksplor range, the odour resistance means they go from trail to campfire to sleeping bag without needing a wash in between.
Room to grow is built in. Each size covers a two-year range, so you get at least one full season of proper fit and usually more before sizing up.
Pairs with the Kids Merino Adventure Tank for a complete summer set.
Fabric:
- Material: 100% Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) Merino Wool
- Weight: 230 gsm, 18.9 micron – lightweight, breathable, and perfect for year-round use
Craftsmanship:

How to Care:
- Machine Wash: Use the gentle cycle with cool water and a mild or wool-specific detergent.
- Drying: Lay flat to dry to preserve shape and softness. Alternatively, tumble dry on low with similar items.
- Refreshing Without Washing: Merino wool naturally resists odors and bacteria, so it doesn't require frequent washing. Simply hang your merino outside for a few hours to restore freshness.
- Preventing Moth Holes: Store your merino garments in a clean, dry space. Use airtight storage bags or bins to block moth access. Add natural moth repellents, such as cedar blocks or lavender sachets, to your storage area. Wash or air out your garments periodically to remove odors or residues that may attract moths.

the magic of merino
From summer sprinklers to winter snow layers, merino pulls moisture away—keeping skin dry, comfy, and rash-free.
Delicate baby skin deserves the softest touch, and merino delivers without any itch.
Not too hot, not too cold—merino naturally adapts to all seasons. Wear solo in summer or layer under in winter.
Cause kids. Our merino is machine washable and can be laid flat or tumble dried.

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 Adventure Shorts can be composted in six months.

- machine-washable for easy care
