Got to try my REI merino wool long underwear today while xc skiing. Since it was 48 degrees, it was the classic look of long underwear and shorts.

Who has a pair of Ibex Loose Tights? I'd like to get a pair now while they're on sale, but once again, unsure of what size to order. If they run about like the El Fito's, I can do with a Large, but if they run smaller, I'll need the XL
. Any advice?

I found the loose tights to run small on the hips. I am an L in everything, but when i got a pair of L loose tights last year they were too snug on the butt. (everything else was fine)
Maybe it's just my butt is too big...
Anyway, I sent them back. Very sadly. You might want to call and ask them about fit for this year's model. (this year's has zipped pocket)"If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

Thanks for the tip, Knot. I have that problem, too, where stuff is often too small for my butt. And the sidewalk's too close to my butt. And....well, you get the idea.

I'm so happy I finally snagged a pair of the twister pants, I'll be sure to post on the review thread here about them when they arrive.
Ya know, it amazes me how fast that site moves. I must have stumbled across the pants shortly after they posted, because they still had a selection in 2 colors, with about 3-4 sizes per color. I bought mine first Originally Posted by KnottedYet

then came here to post and tell y'all about it, and then went back to refresh the sac site obsessively. They were all gone in about 15-20 minutes!! Amazing.

Waxless skis, of course. I'm not a fan of klister. If you mean how do I avoid sweating to death, well, I skied slowly since my ski partner was not quite recovered from bronchitis. Originally Posted by madscot13

I'm tossing out all my cotton & poly dress socks. After wearing my "snowflake" smartwool socks to work I few times, I found that I don't come home w/soaking wet feet (I admit it: my feet sweat a lot!). Rei has a great deal going on now -- 10% off if you buy 3 or more pairs of socks. Stocked up on some smartwool socks that I can wear w/slacks to work.
