Reima Base Layer Set: Sizing and Care Tips

Quick Answer

To get the best fit and longest life from the Reima Kids' Merino Wool & Lyocell Base Layer Set, choose a snug but not tight size and wash it on a gentle wool cycle with a mild detergent.

Diagnosis: Common Sizing and Care Problems

• Symptom: The base layer set feels too tight or too loose after a few wears.
• Likely Cause: Merino wool can shrink slightly if washed in hot water or dried with high heat. The lyocell inner layer may also relax or pill if over-washed. Always check the care label and wash in cold water.
• Corrective Action: To fix a too-tight fit, gently stretch the damp garment back to shape while laying flat to dry. For a too-loose fit, wash in warm water (not hot) on a gentle cycle and dry flat—this may help it regain some snugness. If the problem persists, consider sizing up or down based on your child's growth. If the set is still uncomfortable after one careful wash, it may be better to exchange for a different size.
• Stop or Choose Another Option: If you have already tried a different size and the fit is still wrong, or if your child has sensitive skin that reacts to wool even with the lyocell lining, consider a 100% lyocell or cotton base layer instead. The Reima set is designed for cold weather and active play; it may not suit children who prefer a very loose fit or have wool allergies.
