Yeppers, I'm wearing this woolen bra. It is AWESOME.
Raleighdon asked me to go riding today it was 38 degrees when i left home and 42 when we got back. So I wore wool kneesocks, Ibex knickers; thick wool undersweater, booties,
and of course the new bra. On top I wore a long sleeve winter jersey made out of god knows what artificial fabric and then my raincoat on top of that.
Plenty of layers, but it's COLD out. (and it even rained a little)
The bra was invisible. I did not feel it. As I started to sweat, i did not get the dreaded cold clammy chest!!! Wahoo!!
I got home, hot of course because of the #$@% annoying hill that I live on, but it was all good.
I changed out of my bike duds because I am painting a wall, and left the bra on underneath my overalls and shirt. you'd never know i had been riding..
I am a 36 b and have gravity issues because of my age, but I had plenty of support and comfort with this baby.

Oh, the temptation! I just bought a bunch of stuff from TE, and 3 new Ibex pieces... but now I want the bra, too!

update:
This bra cost more than any bra i've ever purchased. I wore it again today on a ride/walk out in 38 degree weather. It was worth every penny!!! I stayed warm and cosy the whole time.

Don't feel bad about the cost Mimi. The only type bra I wear for every day, the Le Mystère, costs $68!!!
I call it my Le Misery.

Well, but I think that women who speak French and wear tiaras are supposed to have really expensive lingerie, right?

I still can't believe I spent that on a pair of panties. They better be damned good.Lisa

yep, Elk, that's the one.
Hey Lisa, if they aren't any good, try Soma. That's what the people who wear tiaras wear.

I have 2 pair of them. They are my favorite girly-undies. (otherwise my favorite is the Ibex Roaster Boxer) Originally Posted by Lisa S.H.
