I feel exactly the same way. Endless browns, murky greens, muddy purples and maroons...enough already! I have no reason to buy stuff that looks almost the same as what I've had (and not been crazy about) for 2 years already. Dull. Where are the happy colors? I keep wishing for tomato, emerald or celery, sky blue, pumpkin, mango.... :(Quote:

I've seen Spring 2010 & there's some nice pop colors there too.

Susan - you are right. They do have some good colors. I should have more clear in my whining...they need to do the full zip shak in better colors!! I would gladly pay full price for a full zip shak in that turquoise...it's beautiful!Quote:

Ahhhh! SAC is trying to bankrupt us! :eek:
Whole buncha lightweight smartwool zipneck tops are there right now, all light blue, all sizes. :D
I just got a post card for the Ibex tent sale at their headquarters in Quechee, VT next Fri., Sat., and Sunday. Seriously thought about driving up there, but, it's a bit much for a one day trip. Plus, it's a holiday weekend and I don't feel like fighting the crowds of leaf peepers.
Still...
High-Vis wool, baby!!!!
http://www.joneswares.com/item/Men_s...ersey_/268/c61
Available in short or long sleeves, and without pockets and zipper as a running shirt.
ETA: uh-oh, I posted the men's link. Here's the women's: http://www.joneswares.com/item/Women...ersey_/299/c70
And Ibex may have made the terrible mistake of DISCONTINUING the women's Roaster Boxer, but Joneswares has what I believe will make a fine replacement (and cheaper, and made in the USA)
http://www.joneswares.com/item/Women..._Short/317/c71
If it is as comfy as the Roaster Boxer, and doesn't bust out in holes like the Ibex Balance Runner, I will be a happy camper!
Oooh, wool bolero....
http://www.joneswares.com/item/Women_s_Bolero/285/c70
'tis the season to buy more WOOL!
Be sure to check out the Sugoi Wallaroo wool on TE, too. I've got a hankerin' for a bunch of their stuff. Matador red wool boxers, yeah! I love Sugoi, I love wool, put 'em together and what do you get? (knot goin' bankrupt, that's what) http://www.teamestrogen.com/search.e...form-submit=go
Knot, you are EVIL. I just spent way too much at TE last week, and now you post something I must. have. ????!!!!Quote:

And it would go so well with the red and black theme of my Cross Check!
And it's on sale!
How can I resist?

There're matching tops, too. Neve is a dangerous site. Their stuff is waaaaaay expensive.
I'm confused. Joneswear? I thought you were lusting after the wool on the Riv site. I can't keep up with which wool this woman wants to wear :D ;) :cool:Quote:

However... Joneswares to the rescue! Their relaxed running tights (270g) will make fine replacements for my Roaster Long Janes when/if they wear out! http://www.joneswares.com/item/Women...Tights/310/c71
But what about these?
http://www.rivbike.com/products/list...product=22-606
and
http://www.rivbike.com/products/list...product=22-271
Joneswares are cheaper and made in the USA.
Someone tell Grant there IS a wool made in the USA that he could sell.
I had not noticed that! I wasn't quite as sad about that one, but they'd better not discontinue the 3/4 Long Janes. Those are, hands down, my favorite long underwear bottoms. Damn, this makes me want to run out right now and get some to hoard. :eek:Quote:

I wonder if they'll fit over my liner shorts, under my windpants?
Deb
they should, patagonia wool3's not all that thick... but it depends on how much room you have under your wind pants.
it's probably comparable to smartwool's midweight, if you know how thick that is
I think at that price I'm gonna chance it. After all, if not for cycling, there's plenty of other times when I have wished for another layer, and I love wool!
Deb
ugh.
You showed me on sale patagonia.
I love their organic cotton among stuff.
It's the same (230g) as Ibex's "zephyr" fabric. Nice midweight. Ohhhh, the temptation! And so cheap, too!Quote:

If you go to cashback by bing.com, they give 5% for 6pm.com.
It may take like 2 months to get the 5% back, but it's 5% still :)
The heavyweight 3/4 are gone, like the boxers and the long janes.Quote:

What does "MAPP" merino wool mean? :confused: I can't find any definition on the web. "100% MAPP merino wool".... huh?
