For my first blog of 2022, I wanted to share with you one of my late 2021 finds: Lark Adventurewear! Every year growing up, I would receive new pajamas on Christmas Eve, which I would wear overnight and as I opened presents on Christmas Day. The tradition continued into adulthood, and I received new pajamas yearly for Christmas. Since getting married, I continued the tradition for myself and my husband.

This year I learned about Lark Adventurewear, which uses Softek bamboo material, creating super-cozy sleepwear. The company, founded in 2017, was born when mom Pallavi Golla noticed her son was often sweaty or damp in his clothing. Golla didn’t have the same problem with her adult activewear; and when she searched for similar activewear for babies with no luck, she set out to make her own.

The Softek knit is soft, temperature-regulating, easy to wash and, when applicable, UPF 50 Sun Safe. The fabric is also tested for more than 100 different chemicals, so it’s perfect for sensitive skin. And it’s tag-less and stain-resistant. Today, Lark Adventurewear mostly outfits babies, toddlers and kids, but there is also a women’s wear section, including sleepwear. For the holidays, the company offered unisex adult pajamas, and I was able to grab a pair for myself and for Scott.

I can personally attest to the fabric’s softness and, more importantly, its temperature-regulating effect. At night, under covers, it’s easy to overheat, but these pajamas help ensure a cool, comfortable night of sleep. Our winter-themed PJs boasted skis and chalets on the jogger-style pant, paired with a navy-blue, long-sleeved shirt.

Since Christmas Eve I’ve worn the pajamas several times, and they also wash nicely. I should also point out the pajamas shipped in eco-friendly packaging, as well! I look forward to trying some of the adult activewear.
