"I had my long sleeve Outsider shirt stashed in my running pack for over 60 miles this past weekend. It was perfect... even though I never actually put it on. I was running a race in the San Juan mountains of Colorado and the weather there can be very unpredictable. In an effort to be prepared for anything I had a beefy rain jacket in my running pack, alongside my long sleeve ioMerino shirt which was squished into a plastic bag to make sure it stayed dry. Lucky for me the weather was amazing and I never needed my extra layers or my rain gear. However, it was great having them in my pack... light enough to ignore, but just enough to offer up reassurance.
I have another 100km race coming up next month and some big travel adventures on deck, including a road trip through the southwest of the USA where we'll be hitting up national parks. I know my ioMerino will be coming with me - those deserts get cold at night in October!"

Some people think ioMerino is only for winter. Wrong! They’re brilliant for the in-between seasons and well into summer too. We’ll tell you 10 things you may not have considered when you were planning what to wear Outside when winter comes to an end and it's time to defrost.
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.
