Turbo Merino®
This is a yarn created using patented spinning techniques giving a high tenacity, open structure, high bulk wool yarn.
The yarn openness gives rise to superior draping, soft handling fabric structures that are resistive to wind penetration and quick drying through rapid release of water.
The high yarn bulk enables good trapping of air pockets with superior skin thermo-regulation performance.
Turbo Merino® is touch dry after just 60 mins, compared to conventional ring spun fabric (as used by every other Merino active outdoors manufacturer) which is not touch dry until 300 mins.
Turbo Merino® powered by Nu Yarn single jersey fabric has 16% higher burst strength than same weight ring spun fabric.
Quadstowe®
iRULE’s 4 pocket rear storage system first released in 2002 and now being copied.
Quadstowe® gives you 3 generous rear of top storage pockets along with a centre zipped pocket for valuables – giving you 4 pockets in all.
D-Yokel
A design feature for optimising shoulder rotation and arm movement.
iRULE does not use raglan sleeve structures as they are restrictive. We also do not elasticise sleeves for the same reason.
WHAT iRULERS SAY
“Awesome shirt the NEO is just right; amazing fabric.”
— Paul McArthur (Eire)
“The Neo performs like no other top. It is truly amazing it is not your average shirt. The versatility is great with the temperature regulating and wind resistant Turbo Merino a huge plus for long races and rides where the weather may change. Especially good for races that start in the day and finish late at night.”
— Thomas Lindup (NZ)
“I have worn the Neo in just about every imaginable racing and training situation and have been amazed with its versatility. When running and biking the front zip means that I’m venting and cool when climbing a monster hill and toastie warm when descending. Few tops allow for such accurate and responsive temperature control. I’ve used the Neo kayaking, the extra space in the shoulder is subtle but noticeable, enabling greater freedom when paddling.”
— Jonny Mayne (UK)
“This is the first top that I’ve been able to wear in all conditions – winter mountain trekking, summer mountain biking, climbing, night time kayaking, gym work, spinning classes, weekend road bike session – you name it – the Neo can cope and cope well.”
— Piers Constable (UK)
