Ibex Ultimate Guide Sweater

Well.....I confess...I actually don't have any merino for my legs! :eek:
DH has several nice merino chamois shorts and also long merino tights. They are cool.
But I do have several good cold weather tights of various lycra/poly/windproof/fuzzy persuasion, including two with chamois that I like, and an UnderArmour coldweather base layer tight too.
My legs are staying warm enough with either one pair long tights and wool skiing knee socks, or else with two pairs long tights (one with chamois). My legs seem to be the last thing to get cold when it's 35-45 degrees out biking. It's my other parts I have to layer up more carefully, it seems.

What about you?

not that I am a trouble maker but I sense one- or think of it this way- it takes a trouble maker to find a trouble maker.

Yup. Mimi and I have 'em, too.

....will....resist.....!!!! :(

Will not! Go get 'em! The knickers are great!

Mimi and I modelling our knickers, so you will feeeeeeeel the temptation! (and they have that nice style of chamois that Nanci reccomends so highly. Very nice chamois, I must say.)

Now Lisa, how can you possibly say no to that kind of argument? Go get 'em!!

Can't, can"t....have too many knickers already!!!!! :eek: :( ...and yes that IS possible, since I wear knickers from spring right through fall, and long tights in the winter. I don't get as overheated as most people. I have several pairs that are really nice now, and pretty new.

Maybe when one or two wear out...

Lisa,
Just tell yourself you are buying a pair of knickers to run in. :)

If you buy the knickers you are supporting the farmers of New Zealand and the sewers/distributors in Vermont. No sweatshop labor.

And they are biodegradable.

And they feel goooooood!

Do it for the New Zealand sheep and non-sweat shop labor.

You're not just buying knickers, you're singlehandedly saving the economy, the planet and stopping globalization.

Do it! Buy the knickers! :D :cool:

Ok, I think one of YOU all should buy the knickers, and just hold on to them (but don't wear them) for when I need them, and then I'll buy them from you! :rolleyes:

You're all just a bunch of enablers!!! :cool:

I'M NOT BUYING THEM!!! That's N-O-T.

I'm sticking with my LG knickers from TE for now:

Plus my Shebeest ones. Both are great.
...and NO that's not a picture of me!! (maybe a few months from now?...) ;)

I already have a pair. And I'm not sharing.

so, you gotta buy a pair of your own! You won't regret it! :D

How do I convince DH that I must have more running tights, I saw the price, he will flip.

BMo3 - tell him you are supporting sweaty sheep in New Zealand.

These are for the really cold days:

And these are for the not-so-cold days:

Now, if you decide on just ONE pair, he'll feel relieved!

Knot,
I do like the way you think. :D

You crack me up!

does anyone know how these would be for layering ie like long underwear or for under windproof pants for skiiing?


ps I am the hundredth poster on this thread. Do I get a prize?

$130 bucks for a pair of tights!!! :eek:

I'm sorry, but I hafta just say no to that, no matter how nice they are.

I'd like to retire early. :D

This thread is becoming almost like another Thread Drift, only it's the WoolWeenies Club. :)

I think the tights would be a bit of an overkill with long underwear but it depends where you life/play...

Dang, KY invited me to a shopping party while i was freezing my arse in an agriturismo in Italy! and I just found out about it?!?
man.
well.
I love my wool ibex knickers too. And my husband prizes his as well above all his other legwear.

and I just bought the ORANGE smartwool sweater (I think it's an undersweater)
on steep and cheap yesterday.. I think i'll give it to my son so he can give it to me as a birthday present (snort)

**raises right hand** Hi, my name is Dar and I have become a wool weenie too!

Dang Steep and Cheap! I now have 2 smart wool shirts and I'm eyeing another one up. They are heaven:p

Does owning a pair os socks get me in the club?

Grog,
I think this is a great idea! But YOU should start the thread....start a thread here in Apparel called WoolWeenies Club. :) :) Then we can all keep talking about our favorite wool stuff endlessly, and others won't think we're just obsessed with Ibex Ultimate Guide sweaters!
Would you do the honors?....I love the name you picked!- "WoolWeenies Club"!! :p

Lisa and Grog - you guys are a hoot! I used to think my wicking bicycle socks were the best things ever until I tried smartwool socks. How come biking has brought out the shopping monster in me?:D

We should get a Mod to rename this thread for us! WoolWeenies!!! :D

WoolWeenies!, WoolWeenies!, WoolWeenies!, WoolWeenies!

can I make a request that we aren't totally obsessed with the ultimate quide sweater- i still can't find one in my size- small or extra small for anyone wanting to surprise me with an early Christmas present.

ps what are wool weenies? why not a more fearsome name eg the wool warriors, or such and such?

because we are women and we are strong and we do not need such hyperbole or self-aggrandizement to make us feel good.
we need WOOL to make us feel good!

Well, for one... WoolWeenies sounds a lot nicer than WoolWh*res. Even if the latter is more accurate! :p


PS: A Weenie can refer to a person who really likes to geek out on a subject. Gram-weenies = people who obsessively weigh every component down to the gram.
