Kid's Midweight Base Layer Crew – 100% Merino Wool
Keep kids warm, comfortable, and ready for adventure with this midweight merino wool crew. Crafted from 100% Australian merino, it regulates body temperature so active kids stay cozy without overheating—whether they're skiing, playing in the snow, or just running around outside. The tagless label and flatlock seams prevent irritation on sensitive skin, while built-in thumbholes make layering easy and keep little hands warmer.
Why Parents Love This Base Layer:
The 235 GSM midweight construction provides three-season warmth that's substantial enough for cold days yet breathable enough for active play. Thumbholes—often missing from kids' base layers—keep sleeves in place and add hand coverage when mittens come off. The 18.5 micron fibers feel incredibly soft against skin, nothing like scratchy wool sweaters. Merino's natural odor resistance means fewer mid-trip laundry emergencies, and UPF 50+ protection shields young skin during sunny snow days. Machine wash and dry for easy care—because parents have enough to do already.
Why Merino for Kids?
Pure merino wool naturally regulates temperature, keeping kids warm when they're standing still and cool when they're running around. The fiber's moisture-wicking properties move sweat away from skin, preventing that clammy feeling that makes kids want to strip off layers. Merino continues to insulate even when damp—important for kids who find every puddle and snowbank. And unlike synthetic base layers that hold odors, merino stays fresh wear after wear.
