The Universal T-shirt is the perfect casual-fit merino t shirt for everyday wear, but doubles as a high-performance layer for your next big adventure. Lightweight, breathable, and odour-resistant. A true all-rounder.

Using our extra durable Merino+ fabric, the Universal Tee is packed with technical features to keep you safe and comfortable through all sorts of activities and weather conditions. And while it looks like a regular casual merino tee, it's a true high performance, lightweight, thermo-regulating layer. 

When you’re travelling, exploring or doing any sort of high-intensity activity, it will keep you comfortable for longer through a wide range of conditions. Chilly start lines, full sun, shade, cool breeze and well past sunset will be no problems!

Why you’d buy this:You’re not sure what to get or what will fit you best - so you play it safe and get this because it’s part of our most versatile, good for everything range. You want an easy/casual fit, something merino rich (this one’s 83%), but a bit more durable to resist snags and wear.

As with all our clothes, the merino delivers natural temperature regulation, breathability, moisture wicking and odour resistance.

Just what I was looking for.

Soft, comfy, lightweight and warm. Being “universal” my size is a slightly looser fit (which I wanted) but still a good shape for a female. Looks smart too.

Super Universal Tee

I wear Universal Tee for bike riding and being out and about. I bought a looser fit for myself, I am usually X Large and went for XX Large as is more forgiving on me and neckline fab still and just loving it. Flattering to wear and so comfy, high quality long wearing also. Wearing it though you know it's there it feels a part of you also which is a new experience. The Blends are fantastic. I have been feeling so good wearing Io Merino I am updating my usual everyday wear pieces in my wardrobe to ioMerino it's just that good. Value wise and price wise pays off in so many ways as read in other reviews. I find the cut, style made for function, practicality, comfort and joy all given equal value. And welcoming genuine service from the team at IoMerino is the cherry on the cake! I am so glad to have found IoMerino. I am looking forward to purchasing their Celsius range for warmer weather and it has everything from sustainability, ethics and genuine support and service. It's a enriching experience wearing IoMerino to experience for adventures and every day too, even when out for a coffee very relaxing to wear. I find their bright colours brings energy when riding bke, so great! I also take care with Merino Fabric to give the care it needs to look after when not wearing following guide for care instructions gives the benefits of maintaining long term wear. It's just the best!

Goldilocks fit…

I’m a size 6-8 and bought this in a size XS which is just the right length for me - I’m 162cm tall/5 feet 3 inches. Not too loose, not too fitted, just right, and the Merino is a nice weight. Some Merino tees are too thin and are closer to underwear than teeshirts. This is a good mid-weight.
I bought this in the red (chili) and I like it enough to be considering buying another one or two in different colours. My first iomerino tee wont be my last!

Perfect top for just about everything and anything

I loved my red top so much I bought the dazzling blue. Love the colour. Bought it in medium as I’m a size 10-12. Not tight fitting which I really like. Great top for travel and multi-day hikes. Much more durable than other merino tops I’ve bought as it has nylon and elastane in it. Just wish it was 5 centimetres longer.

I love this shirt

I am hiking the Appalachian Trail and have been wearing IO Merino all the way! I started in a Run all the Trails shirt that I wore for the first 109 days. My backpack rubbed a few holes eventually - to be expected when you wear it every day and your pack weighs over 10kg.
I am now in my How good is Nature? Shirt and I just love it!

I didn’t think I could wear merino until I got this

Looks good, feels soft, light and easily packable.
I washed it in the sink and it dried hanging in my bathroom in 5 hours.

I’m a size 12 Aus in almost everything or a medium and the medium in this fits comfortably.

I have already ordered another Universal top and two tanks tops and a bra for my upcoming 6 week trip. I like that not all of the tops look super outdoorsy so are more city travel friendly.
