Product Information

Full details

The Kari Traa Kaia Base Layer Set is designed for active women seeking premium thermal regulation and comfort during winter sports or outdoor activities. Crafted from 100% merino wool, this set excels at moisture-wicking and odor resistance, making it an ideal choice for multi-day trips. While the slim fit offers a flattering silhouette and excellent layering capabilities, users should note that as a pure wool product, it requires careful washing to prevent shrinking.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this set suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, Kari Traa uses high-quality merino wool that is designed to be soft and non-itchy compared to traditional wool.

Can I wear this for high-intensity running?

Absolutely. Merino wool is highly breathable, making it excellent for high-exertion activities in cold climates.

Should I size up for the slim fit?

If you prefer a looser fit for lounging, consider sizing up. For optimal base layer performance and moisture management, the standard slim fit size is recommended.

How often does it need to be washed?

Because merino wool is naturally antimicrobial and odor-resistant, it can be worn multiple times before needing a wash.

Is the material 100% wool?

Yes, this specific set is made from 100% merino wool.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels itchy

Ensure you are using a wool-specific fabric softener or conditioner to maintain fiber softness after washing.

Visible pilling

Pilling is normal for high-quality natural wool; use a fabric shaver gently to remove surface fuzz.

Set has shrunk

Gently soak the item in lukewarm water with a small amount of hair conditioner and carefully stretch back to the original shape before laying flat to dry.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent natural temperature regulation
  • Extremely soft and itch-free next to skin
  • Highly breathable for high-intensity activities
  • Durable construction with high-quality seams

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Kaia set is designed to be worn directly against the skin for maximum thermal efficiency. It pairs perfectly with fleece mid-layers or synthetic down jackets. To ensure the longevity of the merino wool, follow these care steps:

  1. Machine Wash: Always use a gentle cycle with a specialized wool detergent.
  2. Temperature: Wash in cold or lukewarm water to prevent shrinkage.
  3. Drying: Air dry only; never place merino wool in a high-heat tumble dryer as this will damage the natural fibers.
  4. Storage: Store flat in a dry, ventilated area, preferably with a moth deterrent like cedar if storing for the off-season.
