Best For: Trail hikes, cross-country ski days, or everyday layering. This long sleeve is built for outdoor adventures in every season.
Warmth & Weight: Lightweight 200 GSM, 100% merino wool that regulates temperature, so it works as a stand-alone layer or underneath a jacket on colder days.
Sun Protection: Naturally UPF 50, so you and your little one stay protected during outdoor adventures without extra bulk or chemicals.
Softness: Superfine merino is silky smooth against your skin and gentle for baby. No itch, no irritation, just all-day comfort.
Convenience: Discreet nursing access plus thumbholes to keep your hands warm on the trail, something neither the hoodie nor the tee has. The relaxed fit works comfortably through pregnancy and beyond, and layers easily under a jacket on colder days. Most Iksplor families keep wearing it long after their nursing days are done.
Sustainable Style: Made from renewable, biodegradable, 100% RWS merino wool that's machine washable, and one of our most requested pieces on Iksplor More when you're ready to pass it on.
Fabric
100% Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) Merino Wool

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 odors and bacteria, so it rarely needs a full wash

better adventures
Your base layer matters, especially when you're balancing feedings, hikes, and school drop-offs. The Nursing Long Sleeve keeps pace with every season and stage of motherhood. Lightweight merino shields you from sun on the trail, layers easily under a jacket in winter, and lifts for discreet nursing on the couch, at the campsite, or wherever adventure calls.
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 nursing moms are saying
Yes, 100% Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) certified merino wool. No blends, no synthetic fillers, just the real thing.
An easy-access slip sits under the top layer, so you can nurse or pump without lifting the whole top or exposing your stomach. No buttons, no zips, just quick, discreet access whenever you need it.
Wear it right through pregnancy and beyond. Merino has natural stretch, so it moves with your bump, then keeps working as your nursing layer once baby arrives. True to size normally, or size up one for extra room.
Yes to both. The access panel works easily with a nursing bra, and it's just as easy to use while pumping.
Warm enough on its own for winter lounging and the odd cross-country ski lap. Layer it under a shell on the coldest days, but most of the time, this is all you need.
Yes. Nursing pieces are some of the most wanted items on Iksplor More, so when you're ready to pass it on, send it back for cash or credit and it'll find its next home fast.

loved it more than i expected! i wish i had bought it months sooner but the price was a lot with a brand new baby. now that i’ve used it, it’s completely worth the price. i wouldn’t say they run “loose”. I’m usually a 4/6 US and got an XS to fit more snug.
I love the nursing top!! Best one out there
Store owner replied: What a sweet photo! Thank you so much for your feedback and sharing this beautiful moment with us.
I wish I had known about this breastfeeding friendly midlayer! It would have been amazing for last winter when I was feeding my LO even more often! It is truly life changing for the colder months. I can’t recommend it enough. I upsized and it is super comportable for both of us while breastfeeding.
Best wool nursing shirt around!
Store owner replied: Love hearing this Amanda! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience!
Perfect for everyday wear and for adventures! I love how soft it is and how easy I can nurse in it! I am falling in love with this brand and have a feeling this won’t be the last purchase I make from Iksplor.
Store owner replied: Thank you for making our week!!
I have long arms and I really appreciate that this top is actually long enough. The thumb holes do pull a little and even longer sleeves would be better. Would be awesome to see option for size long in pants and tops :)
I love this baselayer! I purchased two colors and rotate them nearly every day. This piece is flattering, fits my technical needs for outdoor adventures, and a breeze to nurse in. Here I am baby wearing, nursing, and totally comfortable. So glad to have this workhorse piece!
This shirt has been amazing. It’s soft, well constructed, functional, and fits great. I’m always a fan of tapered wrists and thumb loops, and the nursing top portion keeps me covered and is easy to use. I bought it less than a month ago and have worn it probably a dozen times already and it has held up to wear and washing. Psyched to be able to easily feed the babe on the trail- he is too!
Loving the nursing top so far! Makes it way easier to nurse my dude when we’re out and about. We’re kind of merino wool snobs in our house, and we’ve been wearing these layers nonstop in Idaho. Definitely recommend iksplor!
Store owner replied: Love it. I’m so glad we’re keeping you all cozy! Thanks for sharing these awesome adventure photos!
I really loved this shirt, finally something warm that I can easily nurse in! It really helped me get outside during the long cold Maine winters. However, on the third wearing I got a hole when pulling on the sleeves. For as much as it cost I would think it would last longer than one washing and three wearings...
Love it. Makes it easy to nurse while hiking up here in the winter of the PNW! Head show me and the little man to keep hiking during the cooler days and not have mom exposed or freezing her butt off. Highly recommend but size up
Store owner replied: Thank you for sharing your feedback, we're so glad you're enjoying your nursing top!
My favorite shirt to travel in. Regulates my temperature, especially when I’m baby wearing, and makes nursing on the go easier.

The best merino base layers on the market. We have used the infant, toddler, nursing and women's options and loved all of them! Living in alaska we need the warmest gear to get out enjoying the 9 months of winter and I can't recommend these enough! Soft enough for all stages and the perfect fit as well! 10/10
Our family spent the morning placing flags at our national cemetery for Memorial Day. The nursing top was great for keeping the bugs and sun away and was perfect to nurse in. It was warm and sunny, but the top did its job and handled sweat well. It is ready for back to back wearing without frequent laundering, but did survive my husband tossing it in the dryer too!
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for honoring our veterans and for your kind review.
It’s the best nursing top I own! I love the criss cross second layer, very smart.
We absolutely love our wool shirts! We went on a hut trip in frigid cold temps and it was the perfect base layer! 10/10 would recommend!
Perfect fit and super soft material. Excellent choice for an outdoor mom!
Great quality shirt, makes it easy to nurse my baby. The fabric feels soft on my skin and it's easy to spot treat if something spills.
Good quality product!!
The fit is great, I love that wool doesn't smell when I sweat. So glad I got this!
This is a beautiful garment that looks so well made. Love it!
Took this camping and loved it. So easy to nurse in, I slept in it and was cozy during those middle of the night feeds. also wore it a couple times before washing
I like it overall, but it’s a little itchy - itchier than some other 100% merino wool clothing I have, which is disappointing. It also attracts a ton of lint and hair. I sized up because it’s meant to fit snug. I don’t regret my purchase but also probably won’t be buying from Ikspor again, especially given the price point.
I'm usually an xs but I got a small because I'm less than 12w postpartum and I need more room right now. It fits great. It's a fantastic layer for chilly nighttimes at home and for getting outside. The nursing access is easy and uncomplicated, which is a huge plus when you have a hungry baby waiting to be fed.
Very soft, easy to nurse in, didn’t get smelly even after a long day of chasing around a toddler
I wear this top for cosleeping with my baby. It's comfortable and keeps me comfortable in a wide range of temperatures.
Great fit and works great for pumping on the mountain while skiing.
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so thrilled you love your nursing top and it's making things easier for you!
Love the nursing tops
Love this top!
Store owner replied: We absolutely love hearing that!!
Great for staying warm with easy nursing access while looking sporty cute!
Store owner replied: What a great review! Thank you!!
I bought 1 and then 2 more of these shirts. I’m wearing them on rotation during my maternity leave. They keep me warm and comfy while we are doing the seemingly endless newborn feeding cycles.
Store owner replied: This means so much to us. Those early newborn days (and nights) are no joke, and we’re honored our shirts are part of your rotation keeping you warm and comfortable through it all. Wishing you so much rest and sweetness during maternity leave 🤍
So worth it!
Store owner replied: Thank you! We’re so glad you think so 😊
Love every piece! We will be lifelong friends for sure!
Store owner replied: That’s everything. Thank you for the trust and the love 💛
Super comfortable and easy to use. Wish items would not sell out so fast!
Store owner replied: 100% agree. Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We so appreciate it Kathleen!
I bought this for my daughter and she loves it!
Store owner replied: Thank you for your awesome review Sara! We so appreciate you taking the time to share your daughter's experience with us!
Honestly a little disappointed for the price. It’s really just like any other nursing shirt I could have gotten on amazon except it has holes for your thumbs and a name brand. I would not pay the price again.
This is the 2nd nursing shirt I've bought. I went up a size so it would fit while pregnant and it's my favorite shirt in the closet x2.
This top has been great! I don't always end up needing to nurse when I wear it but it is so cozy either way! Great for cool/cold temps.
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for your great review Elizabeth!
