merino wool bras, shirts

[Cataboo]

I've got 2 i/o bio merino wool sports bras size medium with tags - I should have bought the small size. $15 each + shipping. I think these are a little bit softer than the ibex sports bras:


smartwool x-small orange t shirt, worn a couple of times: $15 + shipping:


smartwool 3/4 sleeves orange or blue shirts - $20 each + shipping. I didn't like the 3/4 sleeve length, so they might have been worn a few times. these are probably x-smalls but may be small.

Two q's for you:

Have you worn the merino bra in summer type weather & would it be ok for 30C+?

In terms of sizing, how different are the sports bras to say Moving comfort??? I think the medium might fit but am lost on sizing

Thanks!

How long are the smartwool shirts? I think I remember you as being one of the really petite people, right? Are they the right length for you? That orange t-shirt looks so cute!

Size note, FWIW - I have that short sleeve SW top, and it runs smaller than later model SW tops. The length is also on the short side.

do you still have one of the purple bras? I'll buy it!

Alright, the 2 3/4 length shirts are 23 inches from the bottom of the collar to the bottom of the shirt in back (there's like 3/4 of an inch of collar that sticks up above). Those are both xsmalls and the blue one is spoken for.

1 purple bra Zen wants to stop by and try on, the other one is Bicyclista's if she wants it. I think Zen might find it loose if I do.

As for wool bras in the heat - I've been wearing my ibex ones all summer long and we were between 95-105 humid degrees this summer. I also really like them in the fall/winter because they stay warm while wet with sweat, so I don't get the same soggy cold chill that I do off my synthetic or patagonia capilene sports bras after a ride.

As for moving comfort, I only have some small ones (if anyone would be interested in buying moving comfort size small sport bras which I maybe wore once or twice before deciding they were too tight, I have 3 of those) - it looks like the purple it about an inch bigger is circumference than the moving comfort size small bras at the bottom.
