Not sure what you’re doing today? The Universal Long Sleeve Top is a perfect choice and is designed to suit all levels of activity and weather conditions.

It may look like a regular, casual, long sleeve top, but it is a genuine high-performance merino layer in disguise. Perfect for everything; from an easy day travelling, right through to high-intensity activities. Wear it on its own in warm or cool weather, or as part of your layering system when the temperature really drops. This one will get you from dawn till dusk, and beyond.

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.

Designed with a regular, casual fit similar to our best-selling Keystone tops.

Very comfortable

Very comfortable, I have a few short sleeved ones so wanted a longer sleeve option too for the cooler months.

Awesome

Love my IO Merino long sleeve. Really warm for the Melbourne winter and it dries well in wet weather. Great for bike riding and walking. Very happy and will buy again.

Versatile

I have found it's extremely versatile. I have used it for normal everyday, in bed, but also it was also great for a hikes and up at the snow. I have also found that is is made really well. It has lasted a long time and the stitching has help up well over time.

Also, the green came out looking great!

Universal long sleeve

This was my first merino wool shirt, I'm about 5"9 and 75kg and size large fits me good, before I ramble on too much I'll just say it's awesome and has become my go-to shirt and would definitely recommend it, it's great at regulating body temp and keeping you warm. I wear it under an Arcteryx atom Lt when cold and just by itself when mild.
It was hard to know what to expect in regards to the feel of merino wool having not worn other shirts before and I suppose it would vary person to person considering everyone's skin is different. For me when first put on for the first minute or so there's a slight scratchy feel to it ( not itchy ) then it's as if my skin adjusts to the wool and it's just like wearing a normal shirt.
I have since bought two merino shirts on sale at Kathmandu I knew the quality wouldnt be as good but I was willing to gamble and see for myself.
The Kathmandu shirts to me are itchy and stay that way throughout the day, it's bearable but definitely not comfortable and aren't even in the same league as the Io merino shirt.
I'll round up by saying you usually get what you pay for and for my next shirt I'll definitely be buying another one from here.
Cheers.
