    A message from the boss

    March 18, 2020 2 min read

    A message from the boss | A quick update from ioMerino
    We know what you’re probably thinking: “Not another bloody Covid-19 notice”. But we sort of have to give you a quick update just to let you know what we’re doing here at io.

    First of all, we’re not medical experts, we’re not scientists and we’re not the government. We just make really good merino stuff so that you can enjoy the outdoors - when you’re allowed to go out there. So if you want advice on how to wash your hands or where to get toilet paper, sorry, we’re not the place to ask.

    But we do want to assure you we’re playing our part in doing what we can to ‘flatten the curve’, keep our staff and customers happy and healthy, but also keep our little family owned business alive and our team employed - all of which are quite important to us.

    For starters, we have a pretty small team at the best of times, but when people can work from home they’re doing that. Probably in their ioMerino tracky dacks. (Translation: track pants for our overseas friends.) So we’re on skeleton staff here at the office so please be patient if it takes slightly longer to answer your questions or send your orders.

    Orders have always been sent by a separate warehouse facility, and we’ve been assured they are complying with every possible government and health regulation to make sure when your orders do go out, they go out having been stored, handled and despatched to the highest possible standards.

    We know you’ve always got plenty of choices when it comes to buying your gear for the outdoors, and as if the recent Aussie bushfires weren’t enough to test our local industries, now more than ever we’d ask that you consider each and every buying decision you make. Not just what you buy from us, but everything. If you can buy from a local grocery store rather than a big multinational supermarket, maybe do that. If you can get your gear from a local business that employs local people then if you can, do that. Every sale counts. And it’s the only way some businesses will make it through this.

    Many of you will have had adventures and events cancelled, which we know can be incredibly disappointing. But now is also a great time to train, prepare, dream, and research new adventures for when we make it through this challenging time.

    And if you can, make sure you enjoy some time outside in nature, in the fresh air, in the wild places we all love so much. Whether it’s alone or with family, or with a person or two assuming that’s still allowed where you are, look after yourselves, and each other.

    Let customers speak for us

    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.

    Great slogan as well. As used by owners of e72.au

    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.
