After extensive research and development, we’ve created a world first and totally unique fabric that combines all the benefits you expect from our high-performance merino fabrics, with the high performance of compression garments. Now you don’t have to choose between the breathability, temperature-regulation, moisture wicking and the odour resistant qualities of Merino or the fit, feel and performance of a compression garment - you can have both.

The sleek design and firm, contoured fit feels like a second skin, keeping you warm and comfortable, plus helping you to feel and perform at your best in the outdoors. 

Importantly, these are merino-rich so they are fully temperature-regulating which means they’ll not only keep you warm when it’s cold, but they will breathe and insulate like all our garments do to help prevent overheating when you warm up.  

The difference between these and the new Pace Compression Leggings is the tri logo, reflective trim on the reverse calf for safety, and does not have pockets.

SIZE & FIT

Wide waistband and sleek high-rise style create a smooth, comfortable fit and prevent the leggings sagging or falling down while you’re on the go.

Tag-free labels and flatlock stitching eliminates any chafe. 

Designed to be a firm, ‘contact fit’ layer.

True to size. Model wears size small.

Leg-savers!

I've recently returned from the Overland Trail. After hiking across Tasmanian rugged wilderness for 65km+ with about 20kg pack, I can honestly say that these leggings, in partnership with some other well-chosen gear, have saved my legs from a lot of pain. I have other merino leggings, but decided to invest in Pace compression leggings for that extra support. And I'm so glad I did! I highly recommend them to anyone who is on their feet a lot, or has varicose veins. Now I'm on a hunt for another pair that's suitable for warmer months. They need to be a little thinner and in light-grey colour to reflect rather than absorb direct sunlight. I hope ioMerino designers will take that into consideration :-)

Fantastic leggings

I love these leggings. I was looking for compression leggings, something I'd never tried before, and came across these. So happy to be able to buy from a local company and pleased to report that the customer service is excellent and super friendly. They replied very quickly to an initial enquiry I had and the leggings arrived in 2 days. I loved the fit and feel of the leggings but there was an issue with the stitching which I reported to them. They immediately sent me a replacement pair which are perfect (and also arrived in 2 days). I've noticed as per other comments and the description that this fabric really doesn't hold odours so will be looking at buying other garments in this fabric : )

Amazing tights, but white arrows and branding look cheap

The material quality and fit are amazing, but the branding placement and white arrows on the back of the legs make them look cheap. Decided not to buy a second pair because of this.

The merino difference

I took these leggings with me on a carry on luggage only trip. After wearing them casually for three days and hiking for half a day in the sun in them, they did not smell, get dirty or lose compression. Impressive.

Going strong 7 years in but seam repair needed

Fantastic quality, no pilling after 7 years of wear, still look new. Only one downside: an inner leg seam came apart recently. I had it repaired by a professional seamstress. She said the edges of the fabric seam did not meet when the garment was initially made. In other words, it was caused by a minor manufacturing issue.

Love these leggings!

They are so soft, warm and comfortable. I was between sizes and went for the larger size, I could probably have gone down a size. Delivery was very quick.

Love them

These leggings are a perfect fit and feel good. Not keen on the white markings on the back, as I thought they were plain black. However, I can overlook this as they are great and just the thing for my long flights.

Firm compression (165 cm, 52 kg).
Great feel.
Snag very easily - beware!
Would have bought second pair but too late for reduced price.
Recommend.

Thanks so much for your review Kath, we're glad you are liking them.

We do still have out sale on until the 30th of November, so you have plenty of time to grab another pair. :D

All the best

Amazing!

I have stopped wearing leggings under my skirts for awhile now because of all the synthetic fibers and I decided to get these after a very long search to find the best. After about 1.5 months of searching and reading reviews I decided to get these. I followed the size guide and I found a perfect fit, I never want to take them off. Now I wear long, mostly ankle length skirts and I run in them so I sweat and I sweat a lot but these are amazing. I also have very stretched out skin from having children and these really hold things tight so my skin doesn't hurt when I run or itch. So pleased! I'm super excited to get a second pair but I need to save a bit for them. They also keep their shape after a couple days. I'm so thankful!

Good but could be so much better

These tights are brilliant in terms of temperature comfort in different seasons, and in their anti-sweat/anti-odour properties. They are also hard-wearing - I wore them running most mornings for a year or so and they lasted pretty well. They would be so much better, though, if they didn't have the large imposing logo at the front, and if they had more flattering seam lines (the seam line is too straight and low on the bum). There are so many flattering tight out there that have nailed the seam lines, so it would be great if IO's designers could look at them for inspo, so we can have flattering tights that are better for the environment! Also, after a year they weren't squat-proof, so perhaps slightly thicker fabric would be beneficial.

Comfortable and supportive

I was looking for a pair of lightweight merino wool tights I could use to work out in indoors especially in the summertime. There are a lot of merino leggings out there, but so many are too thick or merino blended w synthetics. These are the perfect weight - thin but still supportive. I don’t have to pull them up constantly during workouts. For reference I ordered the Small. I am 135 lbs and 5’ 6” - 36 hips.

So comfy, great service

The tights fit well - I have a small waist so they could be tighter there but still don’t fall down at all. I will be ordering more as I will be wearing them every day for work.

Pace Compression Leggings - Original

Very happy with my leggings. They're not scratchy (and I have very sensitive skin). I think they have the right amount of stretch (to hold you in) and are lovely and warm.

Compression Leggings

These are my second pair - first pair I have flogged and they’re still going strong (and remain warm). Only bought a second pair as I hate not having a back up when they’re in the wash. Thick enough that you can wear on their own but thin enough to wear under hiking/ ski pants when the weather is downright nasty!

A
Anja Weise (Richmond, AU)
great fit and very comfortable

These are my second pair. They are high waisted, which I Love, and fit really well. I found the newer pair felt slightly scratchy when I first wore them but not enough to be uncomfortable or a distraction, and from experience I know they will come to feel softer. I wear them for running and walking and they keep me warm and I don't feel overheated. My only advise is, if you are like me and stop to pat dogs you will end up covered in their fur.

Very comfy & warm

Very comfy even for a curvy figure. Good stretch particularly around the knees for hiking up big stairs & rocks. Nice and warm. Phone & keys pockets would be a good addition though.

Love these!!

Soooo comfy and warm. Super speedy delivery, I live in remote NSW and this is the fastest shipping we have received ever!! Love Australian wool products (I am a sheep grazier so very impressed with this product). Not itchy like some woollen clothing can be. Very well made.

Cathy Sanders (Adelaide, AU)
Comfy

I love pure wool products and find the compression leggins fit like a glove and have been a welcome additional warmth if working from home, playing fold, or walking on the Flinders Ranges. A lateral thigh pocket(for a phone) would be an additional helpful touch.

Vanessa M. (Adelaide, AU)
Very impressed

I ordered these and received them the very next day. Excellent comfy firm fit. Warm but not too warm - perfect for outdoor exercise in the Adelaide winter. I'm usually a size 8-10 and the S is perfect. I suspect that if you've got longish legs they would be 7/8 length, but they're perfect on me - I'm 164cm with legs on the short side. Now someone just has to develop merino clothes that don't attract dog hair :)

Claire Wilkinson (Sydney, AU)

The best leggings. Use for cycling to work. Wanted merino. Previously had 100% merino leggings but they were see-through and prone to small holes. The elastin one these perfect for giving compression and thickness. No more see thru butt! But warmth and breathability of merino. Love

I love these leggings. These are just like my second skin. They stay up too. The sizing and length is perfect.

A side phone pocket would be good

Firm and warm

I’d love them to be an inch longer but besides that they are perfect! Warm, stretchy and firm. Run fairly true to size but probably on the smaller side of things.

Leggings

I live in a cold climate and these leggings are so warm. Loving that they’re wool yet look like activewear not longjohns. Brilliant product.

Compression leggings

I LOVE!!!! these leggings and live in them. They feel great and make me feel strong and athletic. The only improvement I would like to see is for a side pocket so I can carry my mobile phone around as I like living in them and can't bare to be separated from my phone either!

Fine Construction

Great fit, super fine construction of the inner leg seam and hip/waistline. Comfortable and thermal. Aesthetic detailing on the lower leg is a nice touch. I love these leggings.
