Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Reima Mahin best used for?
The Reima Mahin Merino Wool Zip Jacket is designed as a warm mid layer for outdoor school, winter play, hiking, camping, snow days, and everyday cold-weather adventures. It works especially well underneath a rain jacket, winter coat, or snowsuit.
Is the Reima Mahin a jacket or a mid layer?
The Mahin has a full-zip jacket-style design, but Reima positions it primarily as a warm mid layer. It is made to add insulation underneath weather-protective outerwear.
Is the Reima Mahin waterproof?
No. The Mahin is a merino wool-blend insulating layer, not waterproof outerwear. Pair it with a waterproof or weather-protective shell when conditions call for it.
What is the Reima Mahin made from?
The Mahin is made from an 80% merino wool and 20% polyester blend. The inside has a softly brushed reverse for added warmth and comfort.
Is there a matching bottom for the Reima Mahin?
Yes. Pair the Mahin with the Reima Misam Kids Merino Wool Pants for a coordinating wool mid-layer set. Together, the Mahin and Misam create a comfortable head-to-toe layering system for cold outdoor school days, winter play, hiking, camping, and everyday adventures.

Ordering bulk with Outdoor School Shop was just as easy and seamless as I had hoped! As we open up a new program, preparing our first group of kiddos for any weather was at the top of our priority list, and ODSS came through with insight, expertise, and the coolest, most dependable gear around! Thank you ODSS!
