Reviews

The merino loft vest is

"The merino loft vest is nice and warm, the longer length is good for keeping the back warm and comfortable. The only thing I have issue with is the zipper is hard to click together"

Winter layer

Lyn F. (5/5)

From Ski Slopes to Everyday: The Vest That Does It All

"This vest is an absolute winter essential! It keeps me perfectly warm and snug without ever feeling bulky. I usually wear it over a Merino base layer and when I'm skiing, I just add a shell on top. It keeps me toasty without overheating, even on long runs. The fit is spot-on too: I'm Asian, 5'2"", usually between size 8–12, and a Medium is the perfect fit."

BSuan (5/5)

A universal vest

"I love the combination of materials and fitted design. Its great as an under layer for a windy day but also perfect if its not too cold a temperature outside."

Shveta (5/5)

Great layer vest

"I use this vest when skiing it is warm and thin enough to wear as alayer under my ski jacket on those extra cold days"

Eddy (4/5)

Perfect

"I absolutely love this vest. It is beautiful to handle and wear, stylish, flattering and adds just the right amount of warmth on a cool day or night. It even looks gorgeous with a fancy white shirt for a night out. I am buying my wife one!"

Andi (5/5)

Versatile vest, temperature rating would help

"This Merinoloft vest is handy on a mild day worn on top of layers, or worn indoors to keep warm during the winter. The 2 way zipper is fiddly and low quality for a new IB. The side panels allow versatility to sweat when doing yardwork, though may not provide maximum loft if looking for warmth as an extra layer from inland chill. A temperature rating would have helped for comparing what conditions each item is suited for. I was disappointed IB did not have any merino women's shirts, while the men's selection is broader. I hope IB, like other NZ merino brands will bring back Dawnder flannel and merino shirts for curvy women."

Sam (3/5)

Love this short sleeve jacket

"I love this short sleeve jacket, it's light weight but warm and fits over all my clothing. Perfect for hiking and winter outdoor exercise."

Annabelle (5/5)

No I would not buy again

"Love this jacket. Warm cosy stylish Disappointed with the zipper, hard to engage and needs 2-3 tries to zip it up . Not sure why it needs the up and down opening. Option. Is this just My vest or is this an issue on all of this style???? As a result of the zipper malfunctioning, I would not recommend. What a shame??"

Suzy (3/5)

Good length for taller people

"Really nice product. I am 5'8"" so I appreciate the longer length. I am slim and normally wear size 4 or 6 on top. Slim fit, but I could get a light sweater underneath. Crisp fabric finish."
