I needed lightweight gloves, suitable for all-year-round wear as I have an auto-immune disease that affects circulation to my hands. These are perfect to wear in the office where the air conditioning affects me, as well as outside in the colder months. These also work perfectly for screen use, and their firm fit enables me to use a keyboard easily. Quality matches the price point.
I measured my hand and went the size down as I needed a firm fit for typing.

Love to support an Australian (and SA) company and I'm thankful that I was able to find IO Marino in among Temu and Shein in my google search.
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
I waited a long time to get this mongrel multi colourway - I absolutely love it!! Wanted to have the zip neck, and it's just high enough to cover my neck and provide warmth, but does not bite into anything due to the protective sheath for the zipper end. I have worn it now for a few days on walks only for now, and had no issues. As noted everywhere in the product description, it's a contact fit, and so it is. Very much against your skin, but also has a bit of natural wool stretch so it feels very comfortable - still I would definitely not recommend sizing down, especially since the fabric is lightweight 170 gsm as stated in the description. READ THE DESCRIPTION. I checked and knew exactly what I was getting - I love its warmth and flexibility, but also knew to expect that it will be ever so slightly see-through. That's how 170 gsm is. In my case it's fine as I would be wearing a sports top underneath for running anyway. Dark tops underneath will show ever so slightly in more stretched areas like the chest. I have also worn it under a t-shirt for layering for casual wear. This top looks too nice to sacrifice to the trail gods for wear and tear at least for a while, and so I wear it for everyday office use. I have already had compliments on the funky colours! I absolutely love this purchase. :) The few days I have worn it, no stink, just as you'd expect from good merino. For size reference, I am a AU14, and got the M. Would have bought L if it had been available, but the M is okay as I don't plan on having full layers underneath it. But otherwise AU14 would be L I think. Do check the women's contact fit sizing table for more reference to find your own best fit.
That's main reason I continue to shop IO merino this new update fleece is near perfect. Great design awesome fabric that will wear & work and take abuse and just keep wearing, so comfortable & great colours.
Used as base layer for 90km gravel race in pouring rain and lower temperatures at higher elevations. With both slow sweaty climbs and fast cold descents this base layer effectively regulated my temperature.
Very happy with the thickness of these merino arm warmers. The right level of warmth.
On the slightly longer side for me, but this isn't an issue.
I'm looking forward to see how they age.
As a cyclist, I'd love the option of knee warmers as well.
Thanks ioMerino.
