Base layers
The base layer is the one that contacts your skin the most. It provides us with a safe shelter. Kosha offers a selection of gender-neutral colored T-shirts, which can be doubled up as your base layer. They won’t itch your skin because they’re made of merino wool and bamboo.
The fiber dries quickly because it resembles fish scales. It can withstand temperatures between 15 and -20 degrees Celsius. The anti-odor qualities of the base layer allow you to use it for 3 to 5 days without washing it.

Sweaters and Pullovers
Sweaters and Pullovers make up the mid-layers. They are worn after the base layers. We at Kosha offer Merino wool pullovers, fleet sweatshirts, and Buttoned Cardigans for women.
Switch up your style with Kosha’s reversible pullovers, and crew neck pullovers by turning it inside out for a different color. Merino Wool is silky, skin-friendly wool that has moisture-wicking and odor-resistant characteristics built-in. It can be worn over a shirt or t-shirt, and it can also be used as a mid-layer for added warmth.
