    Dear fellow wool weenies,

    Cranking, I was going to ask if the Golite jacket was maybe not as breathable as it should be for your level of exertion. A lot of shells these days try to be waterproof or waterpepellent and...

    Wool does hold water. The old polypropylene synthetic fabric (like Lifa long underwear) will hold almost no water so could be better for heavy sweaters exercising heavily. Don't think I've ever...

    Arcadian buys

    I bought a pair of Ibex Roaster Boxers and a Woolies Zip T-neck, both black. The boxers were a good find, as I think they've been discontinued and replaced with the Balance Runner Short.

    I saw a pair of the Ibex bike short in person. The legs were shorter than most bike shorts. The spin jerseys are sized to fit snuggly. True to size if you like form fitting. Size up if you don't.

    Is that why two of them are standing upside down on the jerseys? They are smart enough to give wool instead of lamb chops. Maybe they did their own selective breeding:
