details Plus

Best For: Sunny trail hikes, playground meetups, campsite mornings, or cozy nursing sessions on the couch. This hoodie is designed for wherever parenting takes you.

Warmth & Weight: Lightweight 200 GSM, 100% merino wool that keeps you cool in the sun, warm in the shade, and comfortable all day, even into winter lounging and cold-weather trail 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: An easy-access slip makes on-the-go feeds simple, whether you're on the trail, at the park, or curled up at home. The relaxed fit layers easily over tanks or base layers and works comfortably through pregnancy and beyond. 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 & 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 odors 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.

better adventures

Your base layer matters, especially when you're balancing feedings, hikes, and school drop-offs. The Nursing Hoodie 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

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.

How does the nursing access work? Plus

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.

Can I wear this while pregnant, or is it just for after baby arrives? Plus

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.

Does it work with a nursing bra, or for pumping? Plus

Yes to both. The access panel works easily with a nursing bra, and it's just as easy to use while pumping.

Is it warm enough to wear on its own in winter, or do you need a layer underneath? Plus

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.

What happens when I'm done nursing? Can I resell it? Plus

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.
