The Rachel Pohl Collection

You loved it. It sold out in record time. Now it’s back, reimagined.



Artist and adventurer Rachel Pohl hand-painted the Lofoten peaks in the pinks of a winter sunrise and the blues of the Arctic night. From soft merino base layers to cozy fleeces, beanies, mittens, tubes and socks, it’s the whole collection, made for your coldest, brightest days.

Hot Girl Winter

We’ve kept women hot since 2002.



But by our definition, being hot is more than body temperature.
More than appearance.
It’s a feeling and a way of being.



Like Kari herself has been an example of:



It’s hot to provoke.
It’s hot to perform under pressure.
It’s hot to be you.



In Kari Traa base layers, you don’t just stay warm,


you’re encouraged to do whatever makes you feel hot.



Let’s have a hot girl winter.

- Ebba Forsgren

“People underestimate female skiers so much, especially when it comes to the energy we create and how much we’re capable of lifting each other up.”


– Jenna keller

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.

And while wool is incredibly awesome for our active lifestyles, we can’t forget that merino wool fibres are delicate. We have to know how to care for them so they last for every adventure. Here are some tips on how to take care of your wool garments.
