WOOL WEENIE ALERT!!!
INSANELY CHEAP FULL-ZIP SWITCHBACK!!!!!
http://www.sierratradingpost.com/p/,...For-Women.html

I want a charcoal one, and I might justify it if I get it instead of rock shoes. Right? That counts, doesn't it? There has to be a way to rationalize buying another full zip, when my current one is still in good shape and I have other charcoal gray sweaters, yeah, there's gotta be a way! Sure, SKnot needs new shoes, but this is a FULL ZIP SWITCHBACK for only $60! eek!

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

When I see the page it says the price is $95, not $60. Did they change it?
Interesting that they call the Persimmon color "Coral" instead.

[KnottedYet]

Whoa! They changed it!

When I saw it, it was $60!

I put a charcoal one in my Sierra Trading Post shopping cart when I first saw them, and the one in my cart still says $60.

Does that mean I *must* order it?

(I think it does... )

Edit: well, I just went to STP to buy my insanely cheap Switchback, but the computer catalog caught up with me and the jacket in my shopping cart had also been changed to $95. Bummer...

I just got my first Rapha jersey in the mail, and thought I'd share the tip.

The Rapha Tricolor and 2006 Club Jerseys are half price- Still $70 + shipping from the UK, but it's a really wonderful piece of clothing. They're sportwool (40% merino, 60% poly, but so so so soft and really lightweight- I'm hoping it'll make a good summer jersey). They're men's sizes, but the X-Small fits me perfectly (I usually wear Women's jerseys in small)

Gorgeous! Pink! Expensive!

(And you couldn't really use those pockets, could you? Seems like they'd stretch out.)

Wool weenies! Where are you? Have you forsaken the merino now that spring has arrived? Remember the days of yore when we would post multiple times a day? It has been a week and no odes to the miracle of wool have been posted and no sacrifices TO the sheep that give us warmth, dryness, love, and for some meat.


Aye my fellow parishoners, forsake not the wool. For it is with us all seasons!

Even here it is still cool enough to wear my azure merino-possum shawl for my dawn meditation.
However you are right, madscot, we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of W-o-o-l, our Chosen Fibre of everlasting warmth and comfort (even when wet).

Today on top I am wearing TWO merino base shirts and then a Terry polyester hoodie over that. On the bottom I am wearing Underarmour tights with Ibex merino leggings over that. Going out walking with a girlfriend later and it's damp and grey out there, about 45 degrees. I'll be snuggly.

I am still being true to wool.

I actually plan to get some sleeveless merino tanks for the summer to see how that goes. Never wore wool in the summer before- i'm betting it will be great- no stinkiness! I would be a perfect candidate for it, since i don't sweat very much and don't get overheated easily.

I'm still wearing wool all the time.

I now have 2 long-sleeve wool shirts, 2 3/4 sleeve shirts, 2 short-sleeve shirts.

(plus all the other wool stuff and wool turtlenecks)

I can go an entire week wearing nothing but wool shirts. (and since they don't have to be washed until I've worn them 3 or 4 times, my laundry days have shrunk considerably)

When I wear a cotton shirt now, it feels weird.

my mother has gotten into the act. she found a really nice slightly shrunken rose lamb's wool v neck sweater for me at goodwill. it's nice enough to wear
as a top layer, but will be nice as an undergarment as well.

DH will not ride with anything except wool socks even when it's warm. another convert.

I have been addicted to wool since I was first introduced to Icebreaker in New Zealand. I'll admit it. No polypro in my closet!

[KnottedYet]

I luuuuv my Icebreaker.

Is all the iobio 100% wool? I'm having trouble with their website on my Mac. Do you have any of their stuff?
