i just love merino
"not one of those 'look through' ones, that you find everywere. good decent quality. will get me through winter."
Toasty warm
"Great colour. Something a little different. Good fit; 180 cm 80kg, size medium."
Very useful top
"This heavier weight merino top is an excellent workhorse for the cooler months in temperate regions. I really like that is longer in the body and sleeves than many other tops."

"nice quality and fast delivery"
Mens K Marino 250 Long Sleeve Top
"Happy with Garment, as fit was not so important. I was looking for a quality Merino top to provide warmth as a first layer. Easy to wash, can wear for a few days without odour, no roughness from the fibre (no itchiness) maintains shape and flat seams, so no rubbing from seams. Very Happy with the style also."
He loves it!
"Wonderful colour and nice and warm. My hubby loves the shirt and wears it frequently. We are always looking for merino in these and similar colours. He almost wears exclusively merino only due to its performance and heat regulating qualities. It is great value."
"I have purchased 2 of these, I love the feel and fit of the Merino, they look fantastic dressed up or down. They have become my favourite daily wear."
Very Comfortable
"Fits like a glove and very warm and comfortable. Good value at half price."
Excellent tops and leggings
"Both long John’s and top were a great fit and very comfortable to wear."
