I have just finished walking a camino in Europe; 635km over all sorts of terrain - rocky, asphalt, flat, steep - you name it, I walked it! I have walked Caminos before and have always developed blisters within the first 3-4 days. This time, I walked for more than a month, without developing any blisters at all. It was amazing! So liberating not to have to worry about plasters, tape and pain, like the majority of other walkers. On day 33, a very small blister showed itself (only about 1 cm across); it was easy to deal with and walk the last 25 km.
I took two pairs of iomerino socks with me. My usual routine was to wear each pair for about three days, then swap to the other pair. Not once were the socks smelly from sweat. I thoroughly recommend these socks to anyone walking or hiking. They will most definitely be my socks of choice, when I next venture on a camino trail.

I’ve only just discovered IO Merino, swapping over from another well known brand (made in China). I love these gloves, though I had to go a size down from the size chart (I bought the arm warmers and had to go a size up). Gloves feel great though haven’t used daily so can’t comment on the wear however they look & feel well made. Ionia now my go to brand. Great customer service & like their products are home grown and made.

I bought these for my husband. So light and warm and fitted - no baggy tracksuit pants now. So I bought him a second pair as I struggled to get him to take them off to wash! Say no more.

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!

I love these arm warmers and they do exactly what I need them to do. One of the best things that they are Australian owned and made. I found that they did size small & I had to go up a size. IO merino is now my brand to go to as with a great customer service and philosophy.

I hadn't tried merino shirts before for my trail running and MTB, but I am absolutely in love! They protect your chest from the wind a little and keep you cozy in the cooler months. They also dry super quick so are great for travelling and hiking on the go for overnight camps. I thoroughly recommend and I love the prints you can choose from too. Thanks team for a great shirt!

dissapointing

I will be buying more. They are sooo comfortable and they breathe!

I bought these for my partner, he absolutely loves them . He tells me they are really warm and feel very cushioned and comfortable

My hubby bought these for me as a gift. He received a voucher as part of a race prize! Very generous of the company. While I love the quality, I was a bit sad about the colour. Black is probably the last colour I would choose for gloves! A lighter/brighter colour would be fab- medium grey, green, pink, maroon!! I need to add my thicker gloves over the top when running in South Australia. Sometimes the gloves get itchy.

ordered three pairs some time ago. They came in an orderly quick fashion and have been keeping my husband’s feet Warm and comfortable.
I’m about to order the longer hiking socks for winter. Beautiful product!

I work in a hospital where the temperature is strictly controlled, usually about 17 degrees. We can't wear a jumper or cardigan, so this singlet is my life saver. It's a snug fit, sitting very close to the body but keeps me that little bit warmer. I prefer the wide singlet style straps to the camisole style, I feel like it keeps me a bit warmer as it comes higher up the back as well. The stripey merino is a cute bonus, I can't say no to a stripey top!!

Durable, quick dry, odour resistant... it's all true! These are top quality shirts - no pilling. Suitable for outdoor and indoor exercise (and for lazing in front of the telly!) Happy.

I bought two of these to alternate weekly on my winter bike commute to work. A few weeks in and the quality and comfort seems very good. Also pleased to be supporting Australian made with Australian wool.

Works well, light enough to sit under a hard hat

Pants started wearing out within a few days, its been 2 weeks and has holes in it. Customer service says its a very delicate and is expected. Definitely not worth the money

This top is the best for winter in Lithgow NSW b mostly because of the high neck zip, which can help vent when exercising. The quality merino material, just the right weight for layering and the design is so comfortable. I went up a size, didn't want extra tight fit, this worked perfect.

I like the material, and the idea of being halfway between boxers, which i typically find feel weird under pants and brief's which are my go too sounded good. I have just found that the trunks tend to ride up the leg and turn into brief's that just have a big roll of material in the inseam.
I will continue to wear, but after a week of use not love, love, loving them.
I might try some boxers and see how they go.

Have only had these a little while but I’m loving them so far. Great warmth, the cut sits well on me, they have that traditional style trackies comfort. Have been wearing them around the house recovering from surgery but have also been wearing them for my rehab walks and they’re a great choice for both.

While keeping me nice and warm even when stationary, I’m not overheating or getting sweaty when I move about a bit. Can see me picking these up in a few more colours.

I’ve had the stride track pants and while they are super comfy they have started pilling quite early, no issues with that for these pants at this point.

Very light weight but with high neck zip keeps all body heat in very efficiently. Impressive winter layer
always high quality from IO-Merino

Thought this top would be way too warm to wear whilst running, but am actually very comfortable in it.
The fit is quite loose if you buy your normal size, which I quite like for running.
The only downsize is that if you're a heavy sweater like me, the red colour stains easily which doesn't look very nice.

Bought this not sure what to expect from a woollen bra. But it was immediately my favourite!
I use it mainly for running.
Fits well, gives good support, does not rub anywhere. True to size.
When sweating a lot, takes up a lot of sweat when rubbing.
I can use the bra multiple times as it does not smell at it.
Really really happy with it. Just ordered the bike shorts as I'm so happy with this product.

In the past, I was always put off by merino fabric because of the exorbitant price. How could it possibly be better than a cotton top to justify the cost.
Now travelling, and wanting to travel as light as possible, the answer is clear. Using the Zone Raglan means one extra layer over the top keeps me snug as a bug in a rug, warm.
With a lightweight rain jacket zipped up over the top. One, and in some cases two, layers less than before. What price for comfort and a lighter pack. And not smelling like I've been in the bush for a week, when in fact it, was only day one.
Now when are they having their next specials on to grab some more!

Love it all. I'm new to wool, and it's been a bit of a see it to believe moment. I will buy more.

I needed a wool shirt for the warmer weather and this meets the needs. As the weather got warm here in the Colorado Rocky mountains, able to wear alone, or made a nice base as the temps dropped. And the blend makes it appear more durable.
