    5 reasons to buy your warm clothes before it gets cold

    May 28, 2019 3 min read

    5 reasons to buy your warm clothes before it gets cold

    We’re Aussies, so we love summer and we love being warm. When it starts to cool down, we get a bit jittery. So here’s our top five reasons why you should think about grabbing your warm clothes now, before the cool weather really sets in.

     

    1. Wear them more.

    Unlike some warm clothes which you only bust out when it’s freezing, our ultra fine, naturally temperature regulating Merino layers are suitable for a wider range of temperatures. Which means you can wear them now, and all the way through winter when it gets even colder, and keep wearing them even when spring hits and it starts to warm up a little again.

     

    2. Better Value

    We know value matters, so here’s the thing: the more wear you get out of your gear, the better value it becomes. Some people will put off buying decent warm clothes 'til later in the season, are colder than they need to be and end up wearing them half as much as they could, making it only half as good value. Get in now, wear it more, get more value out of it. Yeah, today is a good time to buy. (Hint, use code GETITNOW to get 10% off full priced items* and it’s even better value!)

     

    3. Be prepared.

    There’s nothing worse than those first really cold days hitting and not having a nice warm top ready to go. (Some of you may have experienced this feeling already!) No one likes to be cold, so grab something now, and when the cold hits, you’ll be ready to roll in comfort. Yeah, we know you’ve probably got something from last season, but we bet it’s not as good as our stuff. 

     

    4. Guaranteed happiness.

    We actually have a thing called The Absolute Love Guarantee where you can buy something now, wear it for up to 60 days, and if you don’t absolutely love it, you can just send it back. Which means you can road (or trail, or mountain or whatever) test our gear now, and make sure you’re happy with it well into winter. Oh, and just to be clear, you will love it, so don’t be worried about sending it back. 

     

    5. Because… Australia!

    Look, we’re Australian, so we love the sun, and we love being warm. Which is why we make amazing, natural merino layers that’ll help you feel that way no matter what mother nature throws at you. So if you want to spend winter feeling like you’re in an Aussie summer, wear some awesome Aussie merino layers made from the world’s finest Aussie merino wool blended with pure Australian sunshine.

     

    Whatever you decide, stay warm and comfortable out there. And as always, if you want to know what’s best for whatever you plan on getting up to Outside, just send us an email and ask. You’ll get a personal reply from one of our ioMerino Outsiders usually within 24 hours - except weekends when they’re too busy being Outside. Of course.

    Worth the expense

    Best and most comfortable merino clothing for the UK and Canada winter. A must buy is the base layers. Tops and leggings. Very happy with my purchase.
    Easy to care.
    Can't wait to use my gear for next trip to Finland 2025.

    Fantastic for the Camino/long hikes

    I wore this tee on the Camino and loved it. I hand washed it every second night and by morning it was always dry. I love the dazzling blue colour, the higher neckline was great for preventing sunburn and the sleeve length was perfect. I only had two tees with me for 42 days and I never tired of wearing this tee. It has kept its shape and has plenty more wear left in it.

    Walked the Camino in them

    Fantastic for hiking and everyday use. I bought two pairs of the bikini briefs for the Camino (40 days of walking) and they were fantastic. They dry really quickly. I would hand wash out a pair at night, roll them in a towel to get the excess moisture out, hang them up and by morning they were always dry. The hot pink colour made them easy to find in my pack too. Love them!

    The boxers themselves are excellent. Great material and a great fit. What set ioMerino apart was the proactive customer service. I was very impressed

    Best ever socks

    These are the best socks I have ever had. Cushioned and extremely comfortable, they fit in my shoes like much thinner synthetic socks, they can be worn for days before they need washing and they don’t walk down into my shoes.

    A great investment

    This jumper is going to be my new best friend, even in Australian spring/autumn (or Melbourne summer!).
    In Norway at present - well and truly minus- and it performs wonderfully as a layer, or a quite-dressy top indoors.
    I'm really pleased with the quality, and it's NOT made in China!

    Altitude Zip

    Perfect for when riding my bike. Long sleeves are great for keeping the sun at bay. I find it breathes well and wicks very nicely. Highly recommended.

    Works for me

    This is my 2nd pair. I don't see myself as a leggings bloke so wear shorts over them. Perfect for recovery, camping, bush walking and around the house. Woll on the skin works for me.

    Excellent product

    Excellent, comfotable, dry, long lasting merino socks. I love them for trail running and casual no show in shoes or 3/4 boots.

    Best Pants EVER

    These Tights are the best - I have six pairs. They keep me warm and dry in the winter, but I also wear them all through summer ( see below 34 degrees and very happy) I mean, how can millions of sheep be wrong? As far as comfort and fit they are true to size and the most comfortable pants I own.

    Loving this Gaiter

    With Io Merino and cold weather it is a pleasure looking forward wearing their gaiters. So soft and has this silk like texture to their high quality Merino and lighness having around neck. Sits great and comfy and make one look forward to just enjoy wearing it. Colours!! Such a great selection and really fab to add colour to whatever wearing with and stylish too. The logo is comfortable too as can wear showing or not and still looks good on show too. I have them in two more colours and gifting one. The colours on this Merino superb with fabric and shades are different to anything I have seen before. Makes for great feel to adventuring outdoors or being extra snug indoors.
