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!
