Did you all see the Ibex announcement today? They're introducing a new natural fiber called DFF.
Dear fellow wool weenies,
I have some sad news to share. I wore a hole through the thumb of my beloved 30 year old Dachstein boiled wool mittens last weekend while cross-country skiing in...
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...
They will stay up. And insulate without itching. And be very comfortable. I speak from experience.
I have 2 Smartwool cycling jerseys, but they are probably different from those. Mine were "salesman specials" or some such thing - maybe limited production that was never sold in quantity. For what...
Yup, same DebW. I believe I mentioned Dachsteins very early on in this thread. I've had mine for 30 years. I bought some for friends from Campmor about 7 years ago. I've not actually tried...
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...
Thank you, Mimi. I couldn't resist another Ibex Woolie at that price. That makes 3 long-sleeve and 2 sleeveless. I was wearing an Ibex sleeveless under my shirts all winter. Was able to wear the...
I made the mistake of cutting my son's hair while wearing a wool pullover top. I kept putting the comb under my arm while cutting and ended up with a huge amount of hair clippings embedded in my...
Arcadian JUST started doing online orders, so guess they're getting their system ironed out.
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'm going to heaven this Saturday. Arcadian still has woolies crews in warm green. Since Ibex seem to have discontinued that color, I may have to get myself another green woolie while I can. ...
I have a new love: Ibex Woolies Sleeveless top. Just got it from TE at 25% off. I love my Woolies long-sleeved top too, but this one I can wear under something else without overheating indoors, or...
The Arcadian Shop in Lennox, MA now has an online store and currently has all their Ibex at 25% off. They seem to have the full line of Ibex in stock in most sizes. Check it out at...
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.
Size up on this jersey unless you like your jerseys VERY form fit. I'm generally a medium, and the Spin jersey in medium fit me, but left nothing to the imagination. The large fit more like a...
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:
"Hey, you there with the...
Here are the Smartwool jerseys I got for $20 each. That's the back/left side. There are more sheep on the right sleeve.
Baah! Baah! Smartwool sheep. Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir. Two...
I was in the Berkshires this weekend and stopped at the Arcadian Shop twice. My main purpose was to check the sizing of their Ibex bike jerseys and leg warmers. They had the women's Spin Jersey and...
I've got the same problem with the Smartwool boxers and a few others I've tried. Sometimes I think it's because they have a seam down the center of the back and the seam doesn't stretch like the...
Another successful shopping trip to the Arcadian. Ibex is still 30% off, and they had a few Smartwool items at 50% off. So I bought a Woolies crew shirt in green for $42 and a pair of Smartwool...
I'm going to be in the Berkshires again on Monday eve/Tue morn. I may stop by the Acadia Shop again to look at/touch/try on more Ibex. But I'm trying not to spend any more money.
I'm a small (~6.75 hat size). I found the Smartwool cap a bit too big, but the Ibex fits me. The Zephyr skull cap that I got is not symmetrical - it's cut longer in back and on the sides that it is...
How about the Zephyr skull cap from Ibex. I just got one for $15 on sale. It has ear flaps and covers the ears very well. It's a tighter knit than the Smartwool headliner but still thin for easy...
Tried that. Mimi is doing me the great service of giving this hat a good home.
