long sleeved t-shirt fits perfectly, is worn most of the time other than warm weather, perfect for my long distance hiking expeditions.
I have had probably 3-4 of these, that's how much I like them. Always the same, grey, colour. Just wish I could find another colour that I would like.
Have worn these socks during many ultras and they keep my feet pain-free enough to keep going! Very durable and comfortable even when wet. Highly recommend!
Purchased this shirt about three years ago now with quite a bit of use for ultras and it is still going strong! Recently wore for a 100k event and was comfortable the entire time. Love the feel of the shirt and the design, always get compliments on it. Cannot recommend highly enough!
This is my second pair of IO Merino compression leggings and they are great. They have not lost shape after much use, they are comfortable, breathable, suitably compressing. They don’t go transparent like polyesters sometimes do. I don’t have any issue with them being hot like some others have mentioned, but then I live in a cold climate (Victoria). Most importantly, they are a natural fibre, not plastic. We need to quit our plastic dependency, clothing is a great place to start. Highly recommended.
I very much like the quality of the material that feels very soft on the skin, unfortunately though as a woman with larger calves, I find the band is a bit tight and cut into my skin. I can still wear them, but I need yo roll them down. The size of the sock is otherwise perfect for my feet.
It'd be great if in the future the company could address this and make the elastic band more stretchable.
You are selling these short calling them entry level. It was searching for eqwools that I found your site. Great cut, great fabric. Would like to see a V-neck too.
I decided to try the Fusion wear because of the cotton & wool mix & am very happy with the results. It is comfortable, easy to wear & perfect for camping in milder weather.
I live in Lake Tahoe and wear this year round. It is perfect for ski days, hikes or cold days on the lake. I’m 5’10 and 150 lbs. I wear a size large and it is the perfect fit. Long sleeve and torso, I want it in every color.
Great top if you’re use to wearing crop bras. If you’re borderline on sizing, I’d go up. Wore it for 5 days straight on Three Capes in Tassie. It did a Perfect job
Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Altitude Crop. We're thrilled to hear that it was the perfect top for your adventure on Three Capes in Tassie. We appreciate the sizing tip and will definitely pass it along to our team. Happy exploring!
Neat fit. Appreciate sleeve and body length being a little longer than strictly necessary - longer by 2 cm than my existing ioMerino, much-worn, collared tops.
Kath. (165 cm, 52 kg)
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
Coby
I have had these for more than two years and wear them in Melbourne for running gym and yoga classes 9 months of the year. They keep me warm on the 2 degree mornings on runs. They are still in perfect condition the material does not fade shrink or lose its elasticity. I like the colourful logo it makes them feel special when I put them on. I love wearing them and wish there was another colour.
I've worn my leggings to pilates, I found them to be really comfortable and so much cooler than the plastic leggings I've been wearing.
I was actually shocked that I didn't overheat as they are my first pair. love them and definitely recommend them.
This is my third purchase from IO. I love their high quality, warm, long-lasting tops. I am normally a small but medium fits me best with IO. I wouldn't buy any other brand.The service is absolutely perfect every time too.
Already a happy user, just bought some more undies & socks as they are just so good. I use these for my every day use, not just for my hiking ect
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.
Customer service from IO Marino is 10/10 - prompt dispatch and personal response to an email I sent.
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
Hi there Sally,
If you were interested in a longer brief we do have our Altitude Full Brief, link here https://iomerino.com/products/womens-altitude-full-brief. It’s loved by our hiking groups, and was made for those people who found the regular Altitude briefs a bit too brief.
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.
😊
I noticed the fusion trackpants and was intrigued by their description.
I bought a pair.
They are super comfy. 👍
I was at the top end of the sizing chart and decided to go up.to the next size to give me a bit room. Glad with that decision and very happy with the purchase.
I'm looking forward to seeing how they age and hold up after a few washes.
Thanks ioMerino.
😊
