Fall and winter is the time for thicker base layers, but what is the benefits of the different base layer types?

Wool is our best adventure buddy. It helps adjust your body temperature to a comfortable level, keeps you warm (or cool), and self-cleaning. Read more about the benefits of wool here.

When the weather is unpredictable, staying comfortable and protected from the elements is key. And what better way to do so than by mastering the art of layering? Whether you're a hiking enthusiast, a ski pro, or just running errands, having a good layering system is a game-changer. So, let's dive into some tips to help you create a layering system that's perfect for every season and occasion.  

Looking for the perfect pair of bottoms for outdoor activities and training can be a challenge for women due to the variety of styles and cuts available. At Kari Traa, we offer high-quality and functional gear designed specifically for women's needs. To find the right fit, it's important to try on different styles and consider how they accentuate or minimize different parts of the body. Our bottoms come in high and regular waist options, with two different types of fits (regular and loose).

We actively work to ensure the Kari Traa community – from those working at the factories producing our products to those wearing them on mountain tops and everyone in between – feels safe, supported and equipped to live their best lives in the outdoors. 

Kari Traa is not just a three-time Olympic medalist, but also the founder of Europe's fastest-growing women's sports brand. Her inspiring story started in the mountainous village of Voss, Norway, where she was born with skis on her feet. Her overpowering talent for particularly bumpy trails led her to become an Olympic champion mogul skier in 2002. 

Kari Traa is not just a women's sports brand founded by a three-time Olympic medalist, it's a community that celebrates femininity, encourages each other, and is obsessed with the outdoors. We believe in empowering women to tackle any challenge with confidence through quality materials and thoughtful designs. With our bold colors, playful designs, and Norwegian heritage, are we the badass friend that lifts everyone around her.
