fabric & care Plus

Fabric
100% Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) Merino Wool
200gsm, 18.9 micron — lightweight, breathable, and perfect for year-round use

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

  1. Machine wash on the gentle cycle with cool or cold water and a mild or wool-specific detergent
  2. Lay flat to dry to preserve shape and softness, or tumble dry on low with similar items
  3. 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.

shipping & exchanges Plus
  • Free standard shipping on orders over $160
  • Ships within 24 hours: Monday through Thursday, excluding holidays
  • Free Exchanges: Initiate a return or exchange here

the magic of merino

moisture wicking

Merino pulls moisture away, keeping you dry and warm on every adventure.

soft & cozy

Your skin deserves the softest touch, and merino delivers without any itch.

just-right temp

Not too hot, not too cold. Merino adapts naturally, so you stay comfy.

easy care

Machine washable, lay flat or tumble dry. Simple as that.

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 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 against my kid's face? Plus

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.

Can this really be worn three different ways? Plus

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Amazingly soft! My little guys love their neck warmers! Can’t wait to use them this fall and winter! I may steal it though! 😉

Love this added merino layer to help protect my son’s neck and face. Super soft and warm!

Merino Wool Neck Gaiter

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.

Store owner replied: Thank you! We will work on getting all colors back for Fall! :)

The best pocket buff, so nice to have natural fibers around my face and not plastic fibers!

Merino Neckie – All Ages

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

Merino Neckie – All Ages

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.

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!

Store owner replied: We love hearing this! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and way to get after it!! We love that you are finding just as much value as we do in our neckies!

Great fit! Loose but not enough to get in the face with stretch to get over head easy

Love this extra warmth for my little on those cold windy days.

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.

iksplorer neckies

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!

iksplorer neckies

My kids LOVE their neck warmers, especially for our cold Forest School mornings.

iksplorer neckies

Beautiful color, perfect fit, warm and stylish !!!

iksplorer neckies

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!

iksplorer neckies

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!!!

Store owner replied: We were so happy to help you and so glad you and your littles will be happy campers! Thank you for being a teacher, we are so grateful for you!

Nice material and color, but way too tight on my head.

Soft, comfortable and warm! Kiddo approved.

iksplorer neckies

I bought neckies for my niece and nephew and they love them. They particularly like wearing them pulled up as an alternative to wearing a hat under a helmet.

Love the neckies - soft and colorful. However, I bought similar quality from European brands for half the price.

Store owner replied: Hi Jade! I am so glad you like our neckies. We are a small family run business hyper focused on quality and environmental and human welfare. Give our standards our pricing is a bit higher than other brands. Thank you so much for taking a chance on this female owned, momma run business! All our best :) Karissa & Kailey.

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.

iksplorer neckies

It fits my 2 yo son perfectly and is much better than the bulky, cotton one I purchased off Amazon. I highly recommend it!

We love this lightweight neck gator! Comfortable to wear & keeps neck and face warm.
