Some people completely overlook underwear as the foundation of layering. Big mistake. If you haven't already tried our Women's Zodiac Merino Wool Underwear, you're well and truly missing out. Rest assured, they're every bit as soft, lightweight, warm and comfortable as the rest of our high performance thermal layers.?

Enjoy the hipster fit, full coverage brief that stays put, never gathering or moving, ensuring a comfortable fit all day long. Tag free labels, flat lock stitching and a flexible and ultra-soft ioMerino elasticated waist band help eliminate chafe and maximize comfort.

They're naturally temperature regulating, breathable and moisture wicking for year round comfort. Perfect for all of your travelling, running, hiking, skiing, snowboarding, climbing, cycling adventures, and whatever else it is you get up to in the outdoors!

Made with 170gsm lightweight 96% superfine Australian Merino and 4% Elastane MicroMerino? - for an easy four-way stretch and freedom of movement.

Great

Overall I really like. Great quality. Comfortable to wear. The only feed back is that they dip a little in the back, not quite enough material to cover comfortably when you have round glutes.

Comfy

I bought these for bike packing to stop getting saddle sores. I've used them just for a couple of long day rides, so far, so good!
I found the fit to be great!

Hi there Angela,

So glad to hear! Our lightweight Australian Merino is built to move, breathe and stay fresh, even when the kms stack up. If bikepacking’s your thing, layering with an Altitude crew or tee is an absolute game changer.

Cut could be improved but otherwise perfect

Love the fabric and comfort, but wish it has more coverage at the back. For those with an athletic build (ie. muscular and not petite bum) may find it a tad low at the back. Definitely like a hipster and would prefer a slightly higher coverage at the back. However the wide elastic does keep it in place.

Thanks so much for your review Sherifa, so glad you're enjoying the gear! I'll let the higher ups know about more coverage higher on the back.

Adventure Briefs

Great product that works almost as stated. I loved this product but the length let me down. I found I was always pulling them up at the back. They just needed to be a bit of a longer brief. I'm going hiking in the snow I don't need to look sexy in my skimpy briefs. I specifically stated away from hipster for this reason but found that's what I got.
Apart from that I can't fault. I stayed dry they were, for the most part, very comfortable, completely odour free and I didn't change them for 4 days. I would buy again but I will be looking for a more fuller brief. Sorry. I do not take photos in my underwear

Hi there Sally,
If you were interested in a longer brief we do have our Altitude Full Brief, link here https://iomerino.com/products/womens-altitude-full-brief. It’s loved by our hiking groups, and was made for those people who found the regular Altitude briefs a bit too brief.

They stayed up.....

These briefs were terrific. They stayed in place all day and didn't slip down and become uncomfortable while climbing or hiking. They also dried pretty well, and are ok to wear slightly damp. A winner for me.

Love the comfy fit of these briefs. I'd been a fan of the Full Briefs but thought I'd try these. Elastic is wide and comfy even on sweaty days. And merino is terrific. Thanks iO.

Fit perfectly and very comfortable and soft material. I like the wider than other brands' gusset. I thought I'd find the elastic waistband irritating but it's quite comfortable. I'd get these again for everyday and travel.

I love these knickers for travelling

Whenever I go away, I am trying to pack light and smart. ioMerino knickers are part of that - I can travel for weeks with 3 pairs of knickers that are comfy, that wash out really well and dry super fast.

Thanks Tory :) Nothing beats natural superfine merino where you need it most!

So comfy

Although these are pricey for underwear, they're by far and away the most comfortable underwear I've ever worn. Synthetics are no good for me (cause itching) but these are completely itch free!

Comfortable

These are my most comfortable undies--the cut and the merino wool. They're great for just about everything.

Super comfortable

After wearing another brand merino wool underwear for years, paying a fortune and having them fall apart way too quickly, I decided to try ioMerino and and am so happy I did. They are much better quality and super comfortable! I'm wearing them during a Perth summer and they breathe well and in true merino style, keep odours away :)

Linda Lo (Turramurra, AU)
Great comfort

It's my first time getting the woolen brief, it's real comfortable and a perfect match to the Zodiac bra.

Review for Zodiac briefs

The briefs are a perfect fit for a medium build bottom, and feel wonderful. It's summer in Australia right now, so they are being kept in the draw for winter time. I noticed how nice and warm they are on the body.

So comfortable i want more pairs!!

I often find boyshort style underwear ride up on me, but these have stayed in place, been perfectly comfortable and SO SOFT! and they don't get stinky (i've worn my underwear more than one day in a row. shhhh, don't tell my mom OR the paramedics - she always used to insist I needed to change underwear daily in case I were in an accident because the paramedics would see them. Now it won't matter because I have such nice ones!!!) They were going to be my go-to for travel and hiking, but now that i'm just staying home with the pandemic i guess they'll just be my go-to for EVERYTIME!

Best undies!

Comfy and a great fit from day 1! These undies wear and last so well . . . and they stay in place. I now have many pairs and they are my favourite brand of undies. I really like the cut and the thick band. My Iomerino orders always arrive very quickly.

Comfy Undiees

Hands down more comfy than Bonds, who have the claim that their undies are comfy undies.

Very comfortable

I find these really comfortable and so I now have several, to wear every day. Especially good for activities wear you sweat as they breath and wick well and stay warm. Occasional variance in the sizing. Extremely quick postage, many thanks!

Great for travel & everyday

I bought a few pairs of these after my sister recommended them. Super comfortable. They were great on our trip to Sri Lanka- it was really humid and after a long day of sweating and walking around they were still fresh and I could have worn them the next day if I wanted to. I was so impressed I bought some jocks for my husband and he loves them.

Fabulous to hear Katie! There are so many benefits of reducing on washing!!

Excellent Undies

I've been buying merino undies for years and these have the edge over all others. Comfortable waistband and legs and super soft all around. Sizing is spot on. I just wore these for a 12km trail run, so have definitely put them to the test and they passed with flying colours. Oh so good.

Great to hear! They are the best foundation for dressing!
