Ibex Skyline Full Zip Sweater 62.50 right now!

[KnottedYet]

I just barely escaped! I was on the phone with Trek420, and she helped talk me down.... my size, my colors, but I just spent $120 on Ibex a couple days ago.

And I don't *need* another Ibex sweater. I have 2 already.

Oh, but the temptation remains. And Trek420 isn't on the phone with me any more.... hmm......

Hehehe! DH is the one to talk me into. Not that I needed my arm twisted or anything.

Which did you get? (or did you get both colors?)

The same thing came up earlier this afternoon (I posted in WoolWeenies). I guess they decided to put it back on a few hours later. Weird.

I liked both, but I only picked up the black/grey(pumice) one. I have to try to curb my spending since I need to pick up some panniers soon.

Yes, I exercised similar restraint.

Ibex Shak T Neck Jersey - Womens

(should I have posted this at wool weenies?)

Put the blue in my cart & then poof--too late! So I got an orange one...........

Thanks Dianyla. I'm looking forward to your review of the Skyline. I have a few other Ibex pieces that I really like. The norgie crew is great for running or biking. It breathes so well. I also have a shak pullover, but haven't had a chance to use it yet.

Ibex Pico Zip-T - $42.50

Unfortunately, I have to pass on this. I've spent too much for things I'll need this coming weekend. At least they were biking accessories. I really like the plum and I think the contrasting colors of the tonic and black is sexy.

Hi,
Does anyone have any feedback or thoughts about their Ibex Skyline?

Thanks

Whoops, sorry for not replying earlier! I forgot about this thread, so thanks for bumping it.

I've worn my skyline a few times in the past few weeks. It's not as thick/warm as I thought it would be. In fact, it's more like a thickish base layer or a plain shirt, rather than a sweater. I don't remember exactly how it was described on SteepandCheap.com (all I saw was IBEX!!! SALE!!! ) but I was expecting something warmer.

Also not sure about the thumbholes... this is the first garment I've ever worn with thumbholes.

I'm glad I bought a size Large, because it's slim fitting as well. I've found that Medium fits me best for the thicker sweaters, but Large for the base layers.

All those minor doubts aside, I love the way it fits. It makes me look long and lean, and I am far from being either of those things (I'm more short/dumpy). And of course, yummy woolly goodness.

Thanks Dianyla. I got a Shak full zip and love it. Sounds like its heavier than the Skyline. I'll probably get a second in another color.
