Kari Traa, the perfect women's technical clothing for outdoor sports
One of the essentials when doing sport, especially in winter, is having technical clothing as a base layer to keep you warm and wick away sweat. Kari Traa clothing meets these needs perfectly. They feature merino wool. Merino is a breed of sheep mainly from Australia, whose dense, curly fleece produces abundant, comfortable, elastic, and durable wool. Three times finer than traditional wool, it doesn't itch. It provides excellent warmth and perfect moisture management. These technical tops offer great value for money. Kari Traa products are unique with their shapes and wide range of colours, such as pink and black, always with bold shades. You'll also find shorts, trousers, and leggings to wear as a base layer from Kari Traa. Discover all Kari Traa clothing in stock for women on Snowleader at the best prices!
A brand born on Norwegian slopes
Kari Traa was founded in 2002 by the freestyle skiing champion of the same name, in Norway. The brand's slogan, "for girls, by girls", sums up its positioning: clothing designed exclusively for active women, with colours and patterns that stand out from the more understated market standards.
What Kari Traa offers at Snowleader
The available range focuses on a few winter essentials:
- technical leggings in merino wool, to wear as a base layer;
- running or sports leggings with technical support;
- a fleece to wear as a second layer for colder days.
To complete your outdoor kit, also check out our selection of women's thermal base layers.
How to wear Kari Traa depending on your activity
Kari Traa technical clothing is perfect under a ski suit or as part of an outdoor women's outfit for hiking or trail running. Outside of sport, some pieces can also be worn as everyday women's clothing, thanks to their bold colours and modern cuts.
For skiing and in the mountains
Worn under a jacket or ski suit, merino leggings or tops regulate temperature and reduce the feeling of damp cold during activity.
For trail running and hiking
The leggings are ideal for activities requiring freedom of movement, with breathable fabric.
Kari Traa FAQ
Can Kari Traa merino be worn directly against the skin all day?
Yes, that's one of the main benefits of this fibre: finer than regular wool, it's designed to be worn directly on the skin without irritation, even during hours of activity.
How do you wash merino wool clothing without damaging it?
Wash at a low temperature, with a gentle detergent and no fabric softener, to preserve the fibres and the merino's odour-resistant properties. Avoid tumble drying, as it can felt the wool.
Does Kari Traa clothing smell less of sweat than synthetic fabrics?
Merino wool has natural antibacterial properties, which helps prevent odours even after prolonged activity, unlike some synthetic materials that tend to retain smells.
