    New York Times recommend Merino

    New York Times recommend Merino

     Taking a trip to New York or another similarly frosty climate? The New York Times (and ioMerino) recommends layers of merino wool to keep you frostbite free and toasty warm in sub-zero temperatures.

    The Times state layering is key. Our tips include layering ioMerino's smooth and textured fabrics together to trap your body heat between the layers of clothing while relying on the thermo-dynamic merino wool fabric to give you maximum comfort.

    New York Times also strongly advise against wearing cotton (frighteningly named the 'White Death') as it does not have the same temperature regulating and moisture-wicking properties that merino wool has. 

     

    Our Brand Manager Emma's perfect New York winter outfit consists of:

     

     

    In temperatures of 4 degrees it will take around 30 to 45 minutes for you to get frostbite, the United States National Weather Service said, so don't forget our three golden rules:

    2. Layer some more
    3. You can never layer too much - it might even save your life!

     

    To all our ioMerino Outsiders, friends and customers in the US, we hope you're staying warm - we recommend a stiff drink, hot chocolate and some ioMerino to get you through!

    Cute

    I ordered one size up as advised in the product description and it fits perfectly. I love the stripes. Have not yet worn it on a run due to weather but I love wool and expect it to perform well.

    I’ve not worn a T in my life that works like the IO. From Exmouth to Adelaide this T worked as described by the company

    Raglan Tops - Outstanding Value

    Great for a cold weekend away (at Wonderland), or smart to wear at work with a Pinnacle Top. Such good quality, I bought 2 if each. The colour has not faded after 3 years wear.
