For those of you who are getting used to my writing and to my reasons for running this site, it will not come to you as a surprised that I like gear that can be used for a number of different purposes.

This is where Mountain Sprouts Base Set comes in to further make my point.  Gear for children that can be used for many different activities, in different seasons, for long periods of time and then passed down is always a good thing. A good thing for the planet, a good thing for your wallet and a good thing that teaches that life is about fun but not getting more material stuff.

Mountain Sprouts base set can be purchased for $40. Click on this link to purchase a base set in Cranberry, Indigo or Canary

This long underwear-like, top and bottom set is made here in the US by a Colorado company.  It is made of a stretch silk-synthetic that is moisture wicking, breathable, UV 50+protection, stain resistant and comes with a multi-generation guarantee.

My daughter has used her base set at the outdoor swimming pool (as a bathing suit with sun protection) and as a bottom layer on cold hikes.  In every situation the base set is the perfect clothing and it holds up to chlorine, abrasion, and stains.  My daughter is always protected from the elements, and therefore happy.
