HUN Cyclocross Team Member Rockin' in Belgium!
HUN Cyclocross Diva- Amy Dombroski’s name showed up on our online orders over the Holiday weekend, reloading I/O Bio baselayers for the chilly training and racing in Belgium, France and the Czech Republic…in January and February. She has just retreated from a frozen Belgium to England to keep training and stay on the form that put her on the podium at US Nationals and inked her name on the US Cyclocross Worlds Team that will race for all the marbles in Tabor, Czech Republic in February. Her secret- besides thighs of steel? The W’s Contact Top!

Now go kick some butt in Belgium next week!
Material Girl: This Winter's Coziest Sweaters (From Outside Magazine's Blog)
If I had an award for the coziest sweatshirt (a hard feat, I know!), I'd give it to this one: the Tupa Hoody by Io-Bio ($130). Most sweatshirts are made out of cotton and grow rough with each washing, but the Tupa Hoody is 100% merino wool which means it's way off the "soft-for-a-sweatshirt" charts. "Butter" would be one adjective to describe it, while "clever" is another; Thumb holes make sure your hands stay nice and warm inside those ski gloves. Whether you're sleeping in this thing or wearing it outside, you won't want to take it off. The lotus drawing on the arm is a nice touch too.
SKI B.A.S.E. Jumper (HUN Team) Matthias Giraud
Here's an excerpt from the Outside Magazine Blog with HUN Team member Matthias Giraud:
Pro skier Matthias Giraud, 26, was the the first to ski B.A.S.E jump off Mt. Hood, Telluride's Ajax, and southwestern Colorado's Engineer Mountain. With his trademark charm-your-pants-off French accent, he dishes about managing fear, losing his mentor Shane McConkey, and how to take the leap yourself.

Megan FitzMaurice- I/O User/Tester working “down South” this winter (summer)...
The products speaks for themselves but to put into words, THEY ARE AMAZING! It is unbelievably soft, warm, light, smell resistant, tough and yet quite fashionable. I wear the same, paint, wood glue stained, diesel smelling Carhartt overalls everyday but in combo with the Signature hoody with it's flashy plaid lining in the hood ...
It’s Opening Day Somewhere!
It’s Opening Day Somewhere! We should have known our very own HUN MEMBER, Matthias Giraud, would be neck deep in powder at Mt. Baker, Washington’s Opening Day, Nov. 12, 2009.
Xavier De Le Rue in Antarctica (update 1) : Drake passage…check!
"It's been two days since we've left Ushuaia. We still haven't reach the peninsula and I've spent most of my time lying in bed to avoid the sea sickness. I've puked a bunch of times.... but the sea seems to be getting better as we are approaching South Georgia Island.
