Part of the Flock - Tristan Ridley

Round-the-World Rider, Isobaa Flock Member

Tristan has long been part of the Isobaa Flock, choosing Merino for his incredible round-the-world bikepacking adventures. With over 88,000km ridden and 72 countries visited (and counting), he’s a seasoned veteran of life on two wheels.

Always on the move, we love keeping up with Tristan’s journey. He shares regular updates and captivating videos over on YouTube and Instagram, giving us a window into life on the road. And if you're a fellow bikepacking enthusiast, you’ll find a treasure trove of tips, tricks, and packing lists on his website: tristanridley.com.

Why Merino? Why Isobaa?

“I travel very light, with minimal spare clothing, so I've been using merino wool shirts exclusively for quite a few years now, as it's just so much better than any other material, especially when you spend most of your time on a bicycle in the wild, and regularly go weeks without being able to wash. I've tried many different brands but never found anything I was completely happy with until I came across Isobaa. I bought a couple of shirts from you over the summer and have worn them a tonne since then (I'm currently sitting at a cafe in Cyprus wearing one), and they're by far the best I've ever found.”
