According to Ibex, the L womens dash hybrid jacket is 20 3/4" in the front and 24.5 in the back. The extra large is about a 1/2" longer correspondingly. I would love to have a jacket that is just a touch longer, especially in the back. The mens jacket must be about 5" longer all the way around. I was going to order the mens in red in medium, BUT of course now they only have it in small!
Maybe I am not supposed to have this? Any suggestions on other winter jackets people use cycling????

Did you check the Ibex jackets on clearance at www.rei-outlet.com ?
I only looked at a couple, but it seems like there were 3 or 4 when I was there. (they could be sold out now, but it might be worth checking)"If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

Anyone interested in the wool/polyester tshirts that were on steep and cheap? I got 2 of the mediums but don't like how they fit - I have short arms and the sleeves go down past my elbow. I hate that! Anyway, they were $17 a piece which includes shipping within the US. I have a green and red one if anyone's interested.

Lisa, thanks! Just as I was thinking no one had read my post.
I am not impressed with the addition of the cuff in an underlayer garment. It just adds bulk. My husband has last year's Woolies with no cuff and agreed that the cuff is not an improvement.
What I really want is the midweight in a formfit.

The only thing I can recommend is the Smatwool zip-T...VERY form fitting, and a nice weight like the zephyr... But too long on you??

Last year I bought REI's lightweight Zip T-neck because the arms and torso were about 2 inches shorter than the Smartwool. Over the summer, I bought the Ibex Zephyr which is closer to the REI in length, maybe even a tad shorter but that could be because it is a more relaxed fit and for possible use as outwear (mine is embroidered with a bike company's logo).

Silly girl there are a lot of wool weenies that read every post. Sometimes we just don't respond because we don't know the answer. Originally Posted by SadieKate
