A merino wool hoodie built for real outdoor use - not just the look of it.
Knit from 200gsm, 18.9 micron RWS merino wool, the Trailhead is warm enough for cold schoolyard mornings, breathable enough for active hiking, and machine washable at the end of the day. The offset shoulder seams sit flat under a backpack without bunching - a detail that matters on long days out.
Merino wool regulates temperature naturally, stays warm even when wet, resists odour without synthetic treatments, and is inherently fire resistant. It does all of this at 200gsm - substantial enough for genuine warmth, light enough to layer under a rain jacket.

What makes merino wool good for kids' outdoor wear?
Merino wool regulates body temperature in both directions - warming when cold air hits and releasing heat when the child is active. At 18.9 microns, the fibre is fine enough not to itch against skin. Unlike synthetic fleece, it resists odour naturally and doesn't melt or ignite easily, making it a safer choice for campfire situations and outdoor environments.
