Kat - ioMerino Outsider

Kat

Trail Runner and Snowboarder.

“I’m nearing 40, feel about 30 and just love being active out and about! My favourite has to be snowboarding and am always looking for the next adventure to book somewhere, and also running trails. I am a personal trainer so the importance of strength training is something I love and teach and will balance that in my week. I have 2 fur babies, a cat Oliver and Chloe dog who comes trailing when and where its possible. ”

Fabric Guide

While Merino is an amazing natural fibre, not all Merino fabrics are created equal. At ioMerino, we make our own fabrics, using only the best quality fibres, and to very specific specifications that make the most of the natural benefits of Merino. All of them are 'Merino rich’. No cheap blends passed off as Merino. No cheaper scratchy fibres or synthetic substitutes to save money. No unethical production. And each fabric is made for a specific purpose. So if you see something with a small amount of elastase or nylon added, you can be sure it absolutely needs to be there to enhance the natural stretch and durability. 

It took every bit of our 140 years of experience in the wool industry to perfect our fabrics, but we think you’ll agree the end result was more than worth the effort.

Ethically Made. Ethically Sourced. Perfectly Natural.
