I grudgingly sent back the cobalt ibex cirque softshell I ordered. Thank you, Shagge, for listening to our suggestions for more wonderful wool garments. The softshell was light, wind resistant w/ climalite, and fit well except for a big neck. I could of dealt with that but the blue was not visually bright enough for road riding. Please, more bright colors!

Did anyone get or is thinking of getting the Ibex Dash Hybrid jacket that is on special??? It looks very nice for cycling in cold weather....even though ibex states it is for cross country skiing and running. I am very tempted.....

Unfortunately my credit card is (literally) maxed out, or I'd be getting that jacket in black RIGHT THIS VERY MOMENT!!!!
I was so bummed when the Breakaway disappeared, but now I am happy again. Except that I can't get the jacket... and it's even in black like I really want. <Knot suffers mightily>
Edit: Ohmigawd! The back logo is REFLECTIVE!!!!!! <Knot suffers even more and wonders what she can sell to get $$ for a new Ibex jacket>Last edited by KnottedYet; 01-06-2007 at 09:56 AM.

Why is it everytime I look at the "apparel" thread I end up spending money??? This has got to stop....I DO need a 12 step program, not for just wool, but for internet stores in general. It is just too damn easy to spend, spend, spend. Don't even have to get up off the chair.
Just came back from cycling with my smart wool socks, and smartwool half zip top....they do such a great job keeping you comfortable but not sweaty. Just such a comfortable feel. Good thing that they don't smell as DH and I only have one top each. Anyway all during the ride in today's lovely 70 degree weather I could hear that Dash Hybrid jacket calling me. And it will get colder this winter, right??? So.....ordered the Dash Hybrid jacket from Ibex for me in that lovely red, and one for DH in black. (black matches all his other very black cycling clothes). After all, we don't have any nice jackets like that for active type sports, and it is such a great price.....
Is there help to be found?? Alice

Does anyone have the IceBreaker Tech T-shirt? You can see it here: http://www.icebreaker.com/site/icebr...90_tech_t.html
I'm wondering what the sizing or rather the fit is like? Are they pretty snug and fitted? Going by the info on their website I would be a Small but I'm usually more of a medium so I'm a bit worried about ordering the small.
Thanks!

I have an Icebreaker Tech Top zip-t neck. http://www.icebreaker.com/site/icebr...mb_value=Black It's a large, which is what I wear in just about every brand including Ibex (my gold standard). The tech top is about as fitted on me as on the model in the picture, maybe slightly looser.
If I were to order any other Icebreaker top, I'd feel pretty safe ordering a large again.
BTW, I love my Tech Top.Last edited by KnottedYet; 01-08-2007 at 06:33 PM.

Thanks, that info is very helpful. I think I'll probably go for the Medium rather than the Small. I have an Ibex tshirt that I like the size of and it's a Medium too.
