FAQs

1. What are some of the benefits of Merino wool leggings vs regular thermals?

 The biggest advantage to Merino wool is it will keep you warm without overheating. Merino wool helps regulate to your body temperature, so you can stay cozy without moisture. Merino fabrics are also odour resistant, making them great for travel. At Kosha, our Merino leggings are soft and stretchy, and blended with bamboo- who wouldn't want that level of comfort for all day wear!

2. Are Kosha's Merino leggings available in plus sizes?

Yes. Our plus-size thermal leggings have a higher waistband to support the waist, wider panels for ease of movement, and gentle stretch so there's no unwanted cling. These leggings are alternatively designed to move, not to cling and restrict.

3. What should I wear over Merino leggings when it's really cold or snowing?

Layer upon Layer. When it is colder out and/or snowing you will want to wear Merino leggings under Kosha's Waterproof Ski Pant for Women or the Waterproof Ski Pant for Men. This combination help keeps you warm and comfortable while you don your walk through a snowstorm, or enjoy fun and adventure on a safari.

4. Can I rent the leggings from Kosha, instead of buying?

Leggings (thermals) are base layers worn close to the skin. Kosha does not rent leggings for hygiene reasons. We have the rental option for jackets and outerwear. If you are going on a short trip, perhaps renting the outer layers jacket and investing in a great pair of thermal bottoms for re-use, season after season.

5. How do I figure out the right size for my body type?

Plus-size travellers may want to consider leggings that have a high-rise plus stretch panels that provide support, not pressure. If you are tall, perhaps it is worth measuring the inseam for a not-too-long gap at the ankle. Kosha's size range is designed to fit different shapes and sizes well.

6. How many thermal leggings do I need to take for a winter trip?

Usually, 2 pairs would be plenty for a few-day trip. Remember merino wool does not stink and is fabulous for wearing more than once, so we don't overpack in this regard. Mix it up and air them out overnight.
