When running long distances, the slightest thing can mess with your head and divert your focus. If you are too busy thinking your top is riding up, your sock slipping, or if you're too hot or cold, your focus is gone and you struggle. We spoke to ioMerino Outsider, Sarah, about her experience running the infamous Ultra Trail Australia 50km and if her ioMerino held up against the long and cold conditions.

Like a lot of people, Stevi-Lee wasn’t convinced our clothes were good value. So naturally we figured she would be the perfect person to reviewer them. If we could convert her, perhaps other customers would believe her rather than the usual claims all companies make about how good their products are. Did we change this ioMerino sceptic into a believer? 

Whether you’re running TRSA Five Peaks or just doing your own thing over the next few months approaching the cooler weather, here are a few pointers on some fully trail tested and ultra comfortable lightweight thermal gear you might find useful on your way.

So you love running, or even just being in nature? Fair enough, so do we.

It’s Australia’s premier trail running event, and we were part of it all making sure runners had everything they needed for what threatened to be some very brutal weather conditions

Ultra Trail Australia is Australia’s premier trail running event. The 2017 race had some pretty brutal weather forcing the race organisers to reroute for safety reasons. There’s nothing like last-minute changes to put extra pressure on the runners, but one thing that didn’t change was their Merino mandatory thermals.
