Merino 365 makes 100% New Zealand merino wool clothing for men and women, in sizes XS to XXL. It is based at 26 Michelle Thomas Lane in Ramarama, and its website also names a store in Papakura, Auckland. The range runs from base layers, boxer briefs and tees to crew neck sweatshirts, tank tops, V-necks and an ankle sock bundle. The founders are lifelong snowboarders and outdoor people, and they say they use suppliers who practise anti-mulesing. Merino is the reason the range works across seasons, as the website puts it, because the fibre is natural, breathable and temperature regulating.
Customers say the base layers are super warm and comfortable, with a choice of colours and a Large Tall size. One found the crew neck roomy but fine for the gym, and went on to order a smaller size in another colour because the quality was so good. Another found the online size guide confusing, but says the store was responsive and helped them choose the right size. Delivery was described as extremely fast.
