LFOH Children's Merino Vest - 100% Merino Wool, Orion

Product detailed description

Kids' merino tank top from the New Zealand brand Little Flock of Horrors is an indispensable wardrobe basic for every child. This versatile piece made from 100% merino wool offers maximum comfort, functionality, and wide usability throughout the year – from hot summer days to winter layering for sports.

Thanks to the use of super fine merino wool (18.5 microns), the tank top is exceptionally soft, non-itchy, and suitable even for very sensitive children's skin. The medium-weight grammage of 200 g/m² ensures an ideal balance between breathability and warmth, making it perfect for children to use in every season.

Functional base layer for every day

The merino undershirt acts as a perfect base (bottom) layer that fits snugly against the body and helps regulate temperature. In winter, it keeps you warm and wicks moisture away from the skin; in summer, it provides a pleasant cooling effect and prevents overheating.

It is ideal as:

• a base layer for skiing, winter sports, and outdoor activities
• a base layer for kindergarten, school, and the playground
• functional clothing for sports and activities
• lightweight standalone clothing in summer

Thanks to the merino fiber, children sweat less and don't feel the unpleasant sensation of wet clothing on their skin. The material can absorb moisture and gradually release it, so the skin stays dry even during high activity.

Comfort that children will truly appreciate

The tank top is designed not to restrict movement and to be maximally comfortable for all-day wear. It adapts perfectly to the body and, thanks to its breathability, is suitable for longer wear without the need for frequent changes.

Merino wool also has natural antibacterial properties, which reduce odor. Clothing stays fresh longer – ideal for travel, sports, and everyday wear.

A great advantage is also that merino is very well tolerated by children with sensitive skin or eczema. It does not itch, does not irritate, and helps keep the skin comfortable.

Quality and Ethical Origin

The merino wool used is tested by the Australian Wool Testing Authority (AWTA) and certified as 100% mulesing-free, ensuring a gentle and responsible approach to production.

How to care for merino?

We always recommend washing clothes in a suitable wool detergent before first use . Especially if you choose a detergent with lanolin, the clothes are immediately softer and less biting. When washing clothes for the first time, wash them separately or with similarly coloured garments, as the colour may be released, causing staining of otherwise coloured clothes.

Clothes can be washed in the washing machine using the wool programme at 30°C. Use only laundry detergent wool detergent and wash the garment inside out. Never add fabric softener or bleach to your washing machine, which can damage your favourite clothes. Do not use the dryer, hang the clothes out to dry. This care will keep your garment in beautiful condition.

Do not delay the removal of more significant stains, we recommend pre-washing as soon as possible using bile soap in cold water.

Merino wool is a very fine natural material and its durability is affected by the way and intensity of use. Merino from Little Flock of Horrors has no treatment and thus retains the maximum of its natural properties. Clothes need to be washed really gently. On 100% natural material with no chlorine or polymer treatments, it can tend to make streaks in stressed areas.
