We love our iksplor scarf and hat! They are so warm and stay on so well when we are out in the single digits. I also love how thin it is for layering. We have the base layers as well.

The Iksplorer Neckie goes where a jacket can’t. Lightweight, breathable, and easy to pack, so it’s always there when you need it.
Why You'll Love it
The Iksplorer Neckie is the lightest layer that earns its place on every adventure. Made from 100% merino wool with UPF 50 sun protection, it's naturally soft, itch-free, breathable, and odor-resistant. It works as hard in July as it does in January.
Wear it as a neck gaiter, pull it up as a face covering, or fold it into a headband. When you warm up, it stuffs right into your pocket. Sized for 18 months through adult, it's the go-to accessory for chilly morning walks, sunny park days, ski runs, and forest school.

200gsm, 18.9 micron — lightweight, breathable, and perfect for year-round use
Where It's Made

How to Care
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.
Merino pulls moisture away, 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 adapts naturally, so you stay comfy.
Machine washable, lay flat or tumble dry. Simple as that.
The next-to-skin layer is the most important! Our merino will keep you dry, warm and comfortable making for better, longer adventures outdoors.
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.
Yes, 100% Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) certified merino wool. No blends, no synthetic fillers, just the real thing.
Not with this merino. Superfine fibers are soft enough for sensitive skin, even right up against the face, with none of the itch people associate with old wool sweaters.
Yes. Wear it as a neck gaiter, pull it up over your nose and mouth as a face cover, or fold it down into a headband, whatever the moment calls for.
Yes. Send it back through Iksplor More for cash or credit when your little one sizes up, giving it a second life with another adventurer.

Love Iksplor for my baby boy, and now I can join the fun! This neckie adds a pop of color for all seasons.

Neckies are perfect for big iksplorers too! These were an absolute must-have for our recent adventures. From hiking in 90+ degree weather to trekking across windy cold sand dunes, the merino wool solved all of our problems! It’s even comfy to pull up as a headband! We won’t be heading outdoors without these - no matter the weather.

I love my new neck warmer. I have been wearing everyday for our walks since I got it and look forward to having it for next winter. I am an adult female and got the kids large and it fits perfect and is perfectly warm and soft. My new favorite. Hope to get more colors next winter.

We love the neck warmers! Max (in raspberry. Age 3) said “it’s a jacket for your neck!) Arden (10) has lilac. She has an EXTREMELY sensitive neck. She actually wears this for fashion & function. She loves the color and says it’s really soft. She also wears it as a headband to hold back her near waist-long hair. No fuss about putting them on. All 3 love having their special color.

I am super sensitive to itchy stuff, I've had multiple neck gaiters that are polyester and I never wear them because they feel suffocating. This is the first neck gaiter I've had that I actually reach for every time we head outdoors in the winter.

Bought this because my 3 y/o shares my husband’s gaiter - I wanted to ensure we’d get many years of use out of it so I took a chance on the adult size. So far it’s been shared back and forth between my son & husband, and I love the bright colors! Very warm, great quality

Store owner replied: Thank you so much for sharing this! We love hearing that it’s being passed back and forth between your son and husband, that kind of long-term, multi-user wear is exactly what we design for. So glad you’re loving the bright colors, warmth, and quality. Here’s to many more cozy adventures together ❄️💛
I love this merino wool neck gaiter! As an avid backpacker who trains 6 days a week and hikes over 2,000 miles a year, having the right apparel is crucial. As most outdoors people know, having cold air hitting your neck and traveling inside your jacket really sucks. But these merino wool neck gaiters solve that problem. Very comfortable & lightweight.

It means a lot to hear from such an experienced backpacker, and we’re thrilled the merino neck gaiter is keeping cold air out without adding bulk. Comfort and lightweight warmth are exactly what we aim for! Happy hiking and many more miles ahead!
I love my merino neck gaiters! As an avid backpacker who trains 6 days a week and hikes over 2,000 miles a year, having the right accessories is important. Cold morning air flowing down your neck, will chill you to the bone. But these neck gaiters solves that problem. They are so warm due to the merino wool, but are incredibly lightweight. They are perfect for cold morning hikes! And when I warm up, I just take the gaiter off and stow it in my pocket or on my running belt. Easy & so effective!

Goes great with the full base layer we purchased for his first year on the slopes. Thank you for making a quality merino base layers for toddlers.

These are great! I have worn mine around my neck and as a headband. They are nice and soft on my face and keep me warm. When my kids come inside and strip off all of their cold weather layers, they often leave their neckies on. It's slightly big on my 3 year old, when it's pulled all the way up, it slowly falls down off of his nose. Fits my 6 and 8 year old and myself wonderfully though!

Great super versatile item to bring on your adventures. Can help keep faces warm and also be turned into a hat! surprisingly makes a big difference to keep you warm when your neck is covered!

The customer service I received was AMAZING. I ordered the wrong size and they were SO understanding. The gals not only let me keep the smaller size (which I will be putting to use with my forest school students) but sent me the right size for free! I was blown away by their speedy fix and generosity. The temps haven't dipped low enough for my students and me to take advantage of our new neckies, but I have no doubt they will keep us toasty and happy while adventuring. Thank you!!!

Cozy, lightweight. I usually put it on my kiddo inside-out as the tag is huge and I think a little itchy. However, the large tag makes for a good place to write a name, so there's that.
