Favourite undies

I've been wearing io merino undies for a few years and i keep buying them. Great design, and quality, I've tried other brands but they don't last like these. Very comfy thanks io merino !!!!

Hi there! We're thrilled to hear that our Altitude Briefs are your favorite undies! We take pride in creating high quality products that our customers love. Stay warm and comfortable.

Absolutely The Best Briefs

These are absolutely the best briefs I have ever worn. I love the full coverage hipster cut of these briefs. I have searched for years for Merino Wool briefs that fit this well. I'm from the US and have tried Merino briefs from major brands like smartwool and from lesser known brands from the EU as well as other Australian brands. The other brands either contained little wool or were terrible cuts. I love Merino because it doesn't get soggy and smelly like cotton in the summer and isn't suffocating like nylon and polyester. Merino is really an all year fabric for me even in the hot southern US. I only wear high wool content shirts, socks and underwear for year round comfort that doesn't stink. These Altitude briefs fit great and hold everything in place no matter the level of activity, whether running, hiking, kayaking or sitting at my office desk. I hope IO never changes the design of these briefs. I will be a forever customer for these briefs!

Rad undies!

I’ve been searching for natural fibre jocks for running, found just what I need in “io”, supremely comfy, a “barely there” fit and so far, chafe free! Highly recommended!

Great knickers

I recently purchased two pairs of these and after only one day to try them out I will grab another pair. So comfy , especially the very soft stretchy leg hems. No chafing, YAY

Muzza (Caroline Springs, AU)
Almost perfect

I love wool undies. With wool you only need one pair (ha ha, but almost true!). These are great quality. My only quibble, like all or most jocks, the elastic at the top of the legs is just a little tight for me.

Excellent undies

Top quality undies. They are thoughtfully designed for the male body which makes them very comfortable to wear. Nothing is too tight or too loose on these underpants.

Super comfy

Just purchased a couple of pairs of briefs - so comfortable, I’ve been wearing them every day. Hope they prove to be durable as well.

Fabulous to hear David!

Perfect for the trails

Having tried almost every option to solve the dreaded chafing issue on long runs, I bit the bullet and grabbed a pair of these. Why didn’t I do this years ago? 50+km run and no issues what so ever. Highly recommend!!

Hey Jess! So glad we could help solve an ongoing issue for you! Enjoy your chafe-free runs.
