I have a couple of those ribbies too...in Sand color and blue Larkspur (a no longer available color). They are NICE, and make great base layers. Thicker and warmer than the lightweight base layers like the Woolies and SW microweight. They have teeny tiny ribbing. But the cuffs do make them look a bit like long johns. I love them, and they are a good price at $55. I almost got one of those same mulberry color the other day, Triskellion! The Sand is a nice sort of pebble color. (Don't confuse them with the light weight LW Ribbies, also on sale right now.)

As for bottoms....
I have tried on the Ibex Loose Tights and had to send them back. They look so GREAT on my slender hipped friend, but awful on me with my hourglass type figure. They just don't drape right on me. I tend to look better in capris and leggings and tights rather than traditional pants.
I really lucked out last year with Ibex tights. At that time, they didn't yet have the new "Energy" tight: http://www.ibexwear.com/shop/Product...t=Energy-Tight
They had the Approach tight, which was the same as the energy tight but without the ankle zippers. Anyway, when they got the new Energy tights in, they put the Approach tights on sale last autumn from $120 to $60...and I grabbed them up! I got one for each of my two daughters and their girlfriends for Xmas, plus 2 for myself. My girls all wear theirs all the time now.
They are like the new Energy tight, a very heavy stretchy wool with a bit of spandex for stretch. I would say they are like stretchy shaks for the legs.
I just love mine, and wear them just like ski pants in the day or else I put a little black skirt over them....and I also wear them to sleep in at night, I love the wool-massage feeling they give my legs. Keep your eyes peeled in the Spring for when they put heavier winter stuff like the tights on sale.

I often wear one of my ribbies and my tights to sleep in. On less cold nights I'll wear a Woolie and the tights.
Wool is addictive in a wonderful way. It just makes me feel good all over.
