Iksplorer Neckie
"It's a jacket for your neck." — Iksplor Customer, age 3
Wear it as a neck gaiter, pull it up as a face cover, or fold it into a headband. Stuffs into your pocket when you don't need it.

- Stays fresh all day — naturally odour-resistant, rarely needs washing
- Stuffs into your pocket — packable and weightless when you don't need it
- 3 ways to wear it — neck gaiter, face cover, or headband
- Built-in UPF 50 — chemical-free sun protection for warm-weather adventures
- Works as hard in July as January — temperature-regulating in any season
- Sized for the whole crew — 18 months through adult
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.
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
- 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 skin, keeping you dry and comfortable in any weather.
Softest touch, zero itch, and naturally odor-resistant — so it stays fresh wear after wear.
Naturally adapts to your body temperature and blocks UV rays. Not too hot, not too cold — works as hard in July as it does in January.
Cause life. Machine washable. Lay flat or tumble dry to return to like-new softness.
better adventures
The next-to-skin layer is the most important! Our merino keeps you dry, warm, and comfortable—making every adventure outdoors better and longer.
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 iksplorer neckie can be composted in six months.
- 100% natural merino wool—renewable and biodegradable
- machine-washable for easy care
