THE ADVENTURE ZONE

ioMerino Ambassador & Extreme Kayaker Chris Baer is no stranger to being up the creek/stream/river in all parts of the world, but on his recent trip to Laos in South East Asia he well and truly took himself, and his ioMerino into uncharted territory. Literally.

ioMerino is perfect for the slopes, mountains, water and earth - we already know that. We spoke to spinal cord injury sufferer, Rachel after providing her with some ioMerino layering pieces to find out what worked and why. The answers surprised us and made us understand the phenomenal qualities of wearing merino wool on a daily basis.

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. Find out more on why the Times say layering is key in freezing cold weather.
