Today I'm wearing my OR Sequence T, 12% wool, 88% polyester from Steep and Cheap for $12.74. I spent 3.5 hours in the woods in 38-42 degree temps (yes, I wore more than just the T) and it was comfortable. Sweated a bit in my Goretex rain jacket. I stink a little, but won't know until I take it off if the smell is the shirt or me. Probably me.

Hi Deb,
I have a Goretex rain biking jacket too. Paid a LOT for it. It worked well as a windbreaker/rain jacket when I was camping. But the two times I wore it on cool rainy biking rides it made me sweat like mad- I felt I was suffocating in a plastic bag. I much prefer my SheBeest Windpro jacket, which though not waterPROOF is water resistant and certainly cuts the wind. But best of all it breathes and keeps me warm and cuddly though I can still feel some air circulation. It seems to work well in many temp ranges. Very versatile for me, especially with a merino base layer or two under it.

P.S. Knot- it's interesting that the Ibex sale items found under "Special>web specials" are all different items than the sale items found under "Outlet>women's outlet".....??

I would think that 88% polyester content would definitely cause some odor though, especially under the Gortex jacket -if it's anything like my Goretex jacket!
I have had better luck when I wear a 100% merino thin base layer UNDER a polyester top so as to discourage the underarm bacteria that always multiply in polyester environs.

It was the shirt that smelled. And Goretex was appropriate because it was supposed to rain all day, but stopped about the time we started hiking. Didn't really sweat much because I wasn't hiking fast and I opened the pit zips when I got hot.

I think "Outlet" is older stuff Ibex isn't making any more. Clearance type stuff.

"Specials" seem like they are current items or newly introduced items.

I got one of those too. I like my 12% wool, 88% polyester from Steep and Cheap for $12.74 shirt. It's much better than any of my 100% polyester shirts, I may never wear those again.

And thus begins the addiction... a few wool blends (while making snide remarks to your nearest and dearest about how much $$ full-wool costs), but I sense 100% wool in your future, young lady!

She's been sucked into the vortex. THERE IS NO ESCAPE.

Resistance is fu-tile.

there will be no deviation...
