    Vancouver to Palm Springs

    January 21, 2019 1 min read

    Vancouver to Palm Springs

    'Unkle' Lee is a pretty awesome downhill skateboarder, but during winter on his home turf in Canada, you'll likely find him backcountry skiing and snowboarding in the BC Mountains. And as you'll see by his recent adventures in the desert, his love of ioMerino goes way beyond the slopes.

    For his most recent trip, Lee traded in his boards for hiking boots to visit his family in Palm Desert, California.

    “Remember Canada is pretty dark in the winter because we are so far north of the equator and our seasons are strong. After a short 3hr flight from Vancouver to Palm Springs you can say bye to the snow and hello to the dry desert. My family and I love hiking the hills of the Coachella Valley. My parents starting a hiking club 10 years ago, they just can't get enough. For a hike I choose my ioMerino keystone Tshirt and Altitude boxers because I find they regulates temperature the best, and are odor resistant" Lee explained.

    "So when things get hot in the desert, often 40C/104f, the best way to control my temperature, odour, moisture and skin damage is by wearing my ioMerino. I would never do a trip without out it! Thanks ioMerino for making such high quality garments I can wear with pride.”

    As you can see, while some people think merino layers are only good for keeping you warm when it's cold, they're much, much more versatile than that.

    Ultra Tee

    This is a “MUST HAVE”!if your are hiking or trekking (or on the Camino). Dries quickly (overnight easily) perfect for travel. Great either alone on warm days or as a base layer on colder days. An INDISPENSABLE wardrobe item. Lasts for years (decades actually!) single most important item in your backpack.

    My girlfriend stole them :(

    Cozy, warm and breathable, my favorite to relax in.
    Only downside is they’re now also my girlfriend’s favorite to wear around the house. So I’ll need to buy a second pair.
    Sizing: I’m 182cm, usually M/L. ordered L, fits well.
    gf is 170cm and likes the loose fit

    I basically haven’t taken off this hoodie in the 2 weeks since I’ve received it. Incredibly warm and soft. I got a small and it fits true to size. Size up if you like a baggier fit. This hoodie is great!

    Such great quality

    This top is just as pictured. It is so flattering! The material is extremely soft and it's nice enough to wear as a top without covering it up under your other layers.

    LOVE IT

    Great value socks

    The 3-pack is good value. They are not only great for trail running but also as an everyday sock on cooler days.

    Perfect long sleeve for cold weather.

    Awesome shirt. Very high quality and fits great. This is my go-to all-day every-day shirt for cold weather climates. Looks nice enough that I can wear in more formal settings too. 10/10 recommend.
