I'm not really a big fan of shipping goods halfway around the world, BUT there's simply nothing else out there that offers such durability, comfort, and cool looks, and can still be worn to the office.
My love for io began when a neighbor sold me a long-sleeved Altitude Crew shirt that she had brought back from Down Under. How could something so thin keep me so warm while snowboarding, and I could even wear it the next day and the week after because it didn't smell? Today, I wear io shirts almost every day, whether I'm running my marathon training in them, writing reviews in the office, or somewhere on or off the slopes in the snow, something from io is always with me.
Like all the other shirts, the Universal Long Sleeve shirt is super comfortable to wear and has first-class io workmanship. The fit is the same as all the other shirts. For me, at 1.87 cm, a size L is slightly form-fitting but not obtrusive. The sleeves are just the right length and can easily be pushed back without constricting, which is super important to me.
Once you've worn merino, you won't want anything else. No, this wasn't my last shirt from the other side of the world, and my wife agrees, even though shipping it around the world is actually crazy.
BTW: the picture shows one of our black-nosed sheep. Unfortunately, no one here can process wool anymore, otherwise...

The fit (12) is perfect.. and good colour. No ingrained smell fading or chaffing even after lots of wear.

I bought socks in the winter and found the socks ideal for wearing with boots as pillion on a motorbike. I decided to try the no show socks for summer joggers and I'm so glad that I did! The socks feel amazing and my feet aren't all sweaty. Very happy with my purchase!

Love the fabric and comfort, but wish it has more coverage at the back. For those with an athletic build (ie. muscular and not petite bum) may find it a tad low at the back. Definitely like a hipster and would prefer a slightly higher coverage at the back. However the wide elastic does keep it in place.

Love how the waistband has no elastic in it but the stretch in the double-layered fabric. This means it doesn't cut into ups or create any pressure areas, and dries much faster. Love the functional side pockets for storing things or even warming hands when cold. The fabric has a very supportive stretch without feeling overly compressive so you can wear all day but still allows you to perform better. Quick drying so you can sweat it out and not have to change afterwards as it doesn't smell either. Also love the below knee length - good when you don't want to wear shorts or long tights.

I was looking for warm pants made of natural fibres. I started looking at pure merino wool but was concerned that it's too delicate. Glad i found this shop. Mixing merino wool and cotton sounds like a brilliant idea. Keeps warm but not as delicate as pure merino. Love my pants. It's warm and comfy!

Great Tee for all situations. Casual wear to bush walking to cycling and gym. Beautiful fine merino fabric that feels comfortable and stylish at the same time.

Great T shirt nice and soft and fits really well. Would buy more if there was a wider variety of designs. Definitely enjoying wearing this t shirt

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.

I recently wore these properly for the first time recently as a base layer during an ultra running event. The material was breathable and comfortable and kept me sufficiently warm and dry during the event.

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

Amazing

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.

Firm compression (165 cm, 52 kg).
Great feel.
Snag very easily - beware!
Would have bought second pair but too late for reduced price.
Recommend.

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.

Great new material and clothing range, great to wear in hot and cold.

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.
