Polarn O. Pyret Wool Terry Zipper Sweater – Warm, Breathable & Everyday Cozy
The Polarn O. Pyret Wool Terry Zipper Sweater is a warm, midweight layer made from soft merino wool terry that keeps kids warm, dry, and comfortable during outdoor play or school adventures. Designed for active days, the terry interior traps warm air next to the body, while the moisture-wicking wool naturally regulates temperature — keeping little explorers cozy without overheating.
This Layer 2 mid layer offers exceptional insulation under rain or snow gear yet looks polished enough to wear as an everyday sweater. The double-ply knit is non-itch, durable, and won’t pill, while soft flat seams prevent chafing. The zipper closure includes a chin guard that protects tender skin, and the wool’s odor-resistant properties mean fewer washes between wears.
Made from RWS-certified merino wool, this piece ensures high animal welfare and sustainable sourcing — a win for comfort, performance, and planet-friendly design.

Sizing tip: We often use European sizing along with US sizing to help guide you to the right fit. In many cases, if you know your child's height, this actually can help guide you better than age. We did the work for you so you do not have to convert- use this chart to find their height. Outerwear is made to layer over clothes- getting this right should be all the work you need to do. When looking at boots, use current tennis shoe sizing. Boot sizes are in T (Toddler) and Y (Youth)- not by age.
