So, I didn't get the same deal on the jacket, but I did get it in a fabulous color by going into the brick and mortar! (Ibex Cirque) Since it's not a bright, hi-vis color, I also picked up a screaming yellow vest by Zoot to wear over it, along with several pieces to wear under it that will also be delightful for skiing this winter! (and some new ski-socks!)

Oh -- there was the special treat too: a snuggly hooded "sweatshirt" from Mountain Hardwear, in a delightful fuzzy fabric!

Totally unnecessary, but it spoke to me, and I decided I must have it! (plus, it looks great with the hot chilly's zip-front mock turtle base layer!)

A huge chunk of the fun was that everything was smaller than ever -- some pieces are size Medium!

Going to the store is handy, I gotta admit -- trying the stuff on before purchasing is pretty important right now, when I have no idea what size this body has become through the summer!

Other stops today included REI, for some "windproof" pants and gloves. and Costco for a ski helmet. Ran out of daylight for a ride, darn it: I'm eager to try all my warm clothes!

I have the switchback full zip and i love it- very snuggly. Don't get it too small because it will likely shrink a bit when washed, plus you'll want to wear it OVER other things, using it like a lightweight wool jacket. Always wash it by hand or very gentle cycle room temp water. As with most good wool- don't wash too frequently. No dryer- lay it out to dry.

My best friend has the Ibex black cirque jacket and she wears it more than any other outerwear- she loves it and it looks very sleek on her. She has worn it for 2 years now. Not really for 0 degree F. temps- it's a warm jacket, but it's not a winter coat. You should call Ibex to find out if its waterproof. It's not described as a rain jacket. I've had great success with spraying Scotchgard type spray on my various jackets (and my shoes) to repel rain- might want to look into that.

Thanks, Lisa. Winter here hovers around 40-50 damp degrees, so I don't need BIG warmth...

I don't have the switchback -- just the Cirque jacket. I don't know about waterproof, and I'm not terribly worried about that. I have shells to put over it if I find the need -- but wet isn't an "everyday" condition here! It's also not too terribly cold -- a little cooler than Portland, but not what I consider cold, not after growing up in Minnesota! I have a feeling that the Cirque is going to be like, the perfect winter jacket for me! (I hate bulky warm jackets!)

Wow, Karen, on the one hand I'm totally jealous that some people can go down the street to Sierra Trading Post; and on the other hand I'm glad I can't because it would be BAD for my credit card ... I've gotten some amazing deals on cycling stuff there this summer and fall, and in the process probably spent a little more than I meant to ...

Yeah, it was hard on my account....

WORSE, they had this deal, save 20% for just filling out the application for THEIR card! Didn't even have to wait for approval and use it to get that -- but when it arrives, I can go buy something and get a chunk of change toward the NEXT purchase...
