Product Insights & Style Tips

The Kari Traa Malia Long Sleeve Baselayer feels like a winter hug—cozy, breathable, and quietly polished. It’s knit with a face fabric of 62% Lyocell-TENCEL and 38% merino wool, while the panels are 50% Lyocell-TENCEL and 50% wool. A jacquard knit at the front and contrasting panels give the piece texture and a sport-luxe edge. The soft handfeel and breathable weight make it a standout layer, with sustainability in the mix thanks to Tencel.

As a slim-fitting base layer, it glides under outerwear without adding bulk. Moisture-wicking panels help keep you dry through ski days, snowboarding, hikes, and camps, while the crew neck and long sleeves provide dependable coverage. The blend of Merino wool warmth and Lyocell-TENCEL breathability ensures this piece layers with ease over tees and under shells, ready for any cold-weather pursuit.

Kari Traa embodies a balance of performance and Nordic-cool style, and Malia Long Sleeve Baselayer mirrors that with tactile texture and clean lines. A versatile layer for cold months that moves from trail to town with ease. Priced at 99.95.
