    The Ultimate Outdoor Test

    The Ultimate Outdoor Test

     

    We all know our premium MicroMerino® fabrics do a cracking job at keeping you warm when the weather hits hard. But as soon as it starts to warm up, many don’t even consider wearing Merino as they’re worried they’ll get ‘too hot’. Little do they know, our superfine Merino clothing is just as comfortable when the temperature rises. The team behind Outdoor Gear TV recently reviewed the ioMerino Altitude Zip to see what all the hype was about.

     

    While we’re layering up and preparing for winter here in Australia, our friends on the other side of the world are shedding layers and getting ready for the warmer months. But that doesn't mean it's time to chuck your ioMerino back in the wardrobe. In fact, our unique MicroMerino® clothing has been designed to not only keep you warm in cold climates but stay just as comfortable when the sun comes out to play courtesy of its natural temperature regulating properties.

    And if you don’t want to take our word for it, perhaps Andrew Bradberry from Outdoor Gear TV will help convince you. This guy knows a thing or two about the outdoors and perhaps more importantly, what to wear when you’re in the outdoors. Working as a mountain paramedic in Colorado and chasing adventure in his spare time, it's fair to say he has an appreciation for a 'base layer' that only some of us are lucky enough to have discovered. And here’s what he had to say about ours...

    Andrew Bradberry from Outdoor Gear TV

     

    “The Altitude Zip is the kind of piece that you will find yourself reaching for just about all year”.

    “This is perfect for spring and summer mountaineering because it can be worn either as a base layer or as an outerwear piece. I brought it out to several days of skiing, to the desert for some spring climbing, and even on a few cold and rainy trail runs. After several days of skiing, camping, climbing and running, I feel pretty good giving the Altitude Zip an A+ in odour resistance."

    So while we’re not suggesting wearing a thick, long sleeve Merino top in the middle of summer (you’d rightfully get ‘too hot’ on that occasion!), we think you’d probably find yourself quite comfortable in some of our superfine, light and breathable layers. With a selection of super lightweight Tank Tops and Tees offering natural temperature regulation, breathability, moisture wicking and of course odour-resistance, we really have something for everyone, no matter what temperature you’re in.

     

    As Andrew sums it up: “I found that when I’m hot, it feels very light and breathable. Likewise, when I’m cold it feels like a cozy next-to-skin Merino wool base layer”. Couldn’t have said it better ourselves. Thanks for the support team!

    Worth the expense

    Best and most comfortable merino clothing for the UK and Canada winter. A must buy is the base layers. Tops and leggings. Very happy with my purchase.
    Easy to care.
    Can't wait to use my gear for next trip to Finland 2025.

    Fantastic for the Camino/long hikes

    I wore this tee on the Camino and loved it. I hand washed it every second night and by morning it was always dry. I love the dazzling blue colour, the higher neckline was great for preventing sunburn and the sleeve length was perfect. I only had two tees with me for 42 days and I never tired of wearing this tee. It has kept its shape and has plenty more wear left in it.

    Walked the Camino in them

    Fantastic for hiking and everyday use. I bought two pairs of the bikini briefs for the Camino (40 days of walking) and they were fantastic. They dry really quickly. I would hand wash out a pair at night, roll them in a towel to get the excess moisture out, hang them up and by morning they were always dry. The hot pink colour made them easy to find in my pack too. Love them!

    The boxers themselves are excellent. Great material and a great fit. What set ioMerino apart was the proactive customer service. I was very impressed

    Best ever socks

    These are the best socks I have ever had. Cushioned and extremely comfortable, they fit in my shoes like much thinner synthetic socks, they can be worn for days before they need washing and they don’t walk down into my shoes.

    A great investment

    This jumper is going to be my new best friend, even in Australian spring/autumn (or Melbourne summer!).
    In Norway at present - well and truly minus- and it performs wonderfully as a layer, or a quite-dressy top indoors.
    I'm really pleased with the quality, and it's NOT made in China!

    Altitude Zip

    Perfect for when riding my bike. Long sleeves are great for keeping the sun at bay. I find it breathes well and wicks very nicely. Highly recommended.

    Works for me

    This is my 2nd pair. I don't see myself as a leggings bloke so wear shorts over them. Perfect for recovery, camping, bush walking and around the house. Woll on the skin works for me.

    Excellent product

    Excellent, comfotable, dry, long lasting merino socks. I love them for trail running and casual no show in shoes or 3/4 boots.

    Best Pants EVER

    These Tights are the best - I have six pairs. They keep me warm and dry in the winter, but I also wear them all through summer ( see below 34 degrees and very happy) I mean, how can millions of sheep be wrong? As far as comfort and fit they are true to size and the most comfortable pants I own.
