This is the final shipment of our best-selling Merino200 Kids Crews and Hoodies before tariffs raise prices.  They’re in stock and shipping now.  Here are 10 great reasons why it makes good sense to get yours now.

1. Temperature regulating — from playground to classroom without breaking a sweat. Kids can transition between environments and let their merino crew do the heavy lifting of keeping their young bodies just the right temperature without pulling layers off and on. 

2. Fewer washes needed — stays fresh longer than cotton or synthetics.  Kids get dirty. We want them to get dirty - neck deep in mud, and bugs, and up a tree and so forth fosters creativity and resilience.  Dress them for success in something that wont hold odor, needs less washing than cotton or synthetics and is super easy to throw in the machine when it finally does need a wash. 

3. Dries fast, insulates even when wet — perfect for changeable weather and active kids. Whether its just been washed by you (see above) or soaked by them in a puddle or a creek or by a water bomb, merino dries really fast. Not only that, it actually stays warm when wet. Because who needs to catch cold when there is important kid stuff to do. 

4. Natural stretch and softness — no itch, no fuss. Just comfort.  Merino is naturally elastic, so you get plenty of stretch for free style movement without restriction. Our 100% RWS merino is itch free and super soft to the touch. 

5. Durable & repairable — made to be passed down.  We use a 200gsm merino, light enough for year round wear yet strong enough to take the knocks. Also strong enough for darning if some serious garment calamity happens out in the woods or on the playground.

6. Designed specifically for kids — the way they move, play, grow and more.  We don't just make adult styles smaller and call them kids sizes. For over 20 years we have designed with kids in mind.  Fold up/down cuffs to allow for growth, offset shoulder seams so school or hiking backpacks are more comfortable, kangaroo pockets to keep hands warm and treasures stashed.   

7. Hand down quality —  keep it in the family or pass along to others.  Quality clothing is an investment.  Ours are designed to last, be shared among siblings, passed on to friends or sold on our resale site re(Nui) or elsewhere.  This gives you a return on your investment and keeps another garment out of the landfill.    

8. 100% RWS merino, no plastic, no microfibers  — renewable and biodegradable. Made entirely from Responsible Wool Standard merino with a light footprint on the planet that our fun loving outdoor kids will inherit. Goodness knows there are enough environmental challenges going on as it is without your kids favorite shirt being part of the problem. Be the change you wish to see. 

9. Value added — no cotton or synthetic can deliver all the benefits of merino.  These hoodies and crews are like the Swiss Army Knife of kids tees.  Wool really is better.

...and last but not least...

10. Pricing & The Tariff Situation — increases on the horizon.  The seesaw yo-yo roundabout that is the current reality of the tariffs is no fun for anyone. While we will try and absorb as much of the increases as we can to keep merino affordable for families, this run of kids Merino200 is the last before we will need to put the price up.  We created a few bundles so you can stock up now and for their next size up, or join forces with friends, family or your forest school group for the deepest discounts - as much as 50% off.
