Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

The I/O Bio Signature Sleeveless hoodie combines function with fashion. I tested the hoodie on a run, while lifting at the gym and for a couple hours of errand running around town.

The amount of compliments I received while doing errands was continuous. While grocery shopping, sorting the recycling, and standing in line at the post office, I was comfortable and free to move because of the relaxed fit. The draping fit also comes in handy for fitting a sports bra comfortably underneath. The fit also made this piece ideal for lifting and I can see why it would be great for other activities like Yoga and hiking.

I was pleasantly surprised with the wicking power of the hoodie considering it is made of 100% I/O Bio Cipher II merino wool. It is also lightweight and did a great job with heat dissipation while running in the heat of the day. The fit also helped keep me cool heading up the hills.

Although I haven’t needed the hood yet, it does add some fashion to the piece. It makes the hoodie great to go from workout into town to meet friends for coffee or a bite to eat without needing to change clothes.

The I/O Bio Signature Sleeveless Hoody retails for $69.99 and is available in Purple Haze, Fuchsia, Black and Aqua. Sizes range from small to extra large. Head to io-bio.com to check out their full line of merino products for both men and women from hoodies to skirts and tights.
