Customer Reviews

Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 81 reviews.

I'm new to merino wool but I'm glad I had SmartMerino to introduce me to what I've been missing out on this whole time! You can tell that these garments were made with love and passion, customer service was prompt and helpful. I will certainly be buying from SmartMerino again. Everything they say about merino wool is true; it's a magical natural material that feels great against your skin, is stylish, and keeps you warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Love the top it fits well and very comfortable.

Merino Short Sleeve

Always bought Icebreaker, but they have become so expensive and now made in China. So very happy to have found this locally made product that is just as good as Icebreaker, if not better. Time will tell. I'm trialing this and if happy will buy more going forward.

Smart Merino has the touch of a real person on the other end - hand written notes on invoices, great customer service, attentive follow ups and excellent product quality. Highly recommend.

Merino Short Sleeve

Beautifully made and of the highest quality. But your sizing is way out. My order was for three items in XXXL. This size is more comparable to XL. I ended up giving my order to my son. I am discouraged from further purchases because of this sizing anomaly.

What a lovely product. Great addition to my winter wardrobe. Definitely keeps me warm when worn.

Bought a long sleeve Brass Monkey 10 years ago and it has its first hole. It’s been terrific and we’re hoping the new ones we’ve bought will be as excellent

Great quality and lovely and warm, just a few inches too short for me. I have a long body and a big belly, the top could be 3 inches longer to keep me covered.

Garment is good but the size was way off. Ordered a size M and had to send it back to get an L. Then had to send the L back to get an XL. Shirt was 2 sizes too small! Staff were nice.

I had RSV plus a couple of other viruses and just could not get warm. Ordered a Smart Merino popped it over the top of my cotton singlet plus other clothing and felt a whole lot warmer. Thanks Smart Merino.

Great quality, I am wearing as a T shirt for everyday and when doing building work. Normally a large size, I purchased an XXL so it is a looser fit more like a T shirt

Over the last 6 years I have worn the brass monkeys t shirt as a base layer and find them fantastic to wear. Smoother than other well known brands and easy to launder.
