The Kari Traa Malia Half-Zip is a warm, quick-drying, and ultra-comfortable merino wool/Tencel blend. This baselayer features a high collar and well through-out moisture wicking. One of the warmest, fastest drying, and most comfortable baselayers in the Kari Traa family. The Malia has a jacquard knit front and contrasting panels on the back, side, and arms that strategically wick moisture. Derived from the bark of eucalyptus trees, Tencel is renewable and sustainably harvested. Grab one for yourself and hit the cross country trails in comfort and style!
Pair this base layer with the Kari Traa Tirill 2.0 Jacket for even more warmth and comfort while enjoying the trails.
A recreational skier who skis for fitness will wear less and lighter layers than someone who’s touring. If you’re too hot or too cold, try altering your layers, by wearing thinner or thicker ones, to suit the day’s conditions, and then, remove or add a layer on the trail if necessary.
Layering is the key to cold weather comfort. Most people understand the idea of layering their clothing for outdoor activity: first, the wicking layer; second, the insulation layer and third the wind and weather layer. The key to making it work for you just takes a little practice.
