    Thanks Kathi- I probably will get the hoodie one anyway, but I knew there were several of those still available here and there online- it's the red half-zip and full-zip non-hooded ones that are now impossible to find.
    Natasha- I did email Ibex about your returned one- got no reply. I think they are tired of me asking about other colors.


    P.S. added: I did wind up ordering the red hoodie shak from TE. Who knows, maybe I'll find another red shak top to go with it eventually. At least I'll have the one that I can wear over other stuff. It'll be cozy in red.

    Shak

    I got the Shak full-zip in thistle heather. The color is beautiful, but not very bright. I have a plum one from last year also. They are amongst my favorite pieces of clothing.
    Good luck with your hunt for red pepper.

    I just love the shak fabric and fit. I have the black jersey. I did get the red pepper HOODIE shak from TE(!). That will be nice as an outer layer.
    I have looked high and low over the internet- and their just are no redpepper shak half or full zips anywhere. I saw some Ice Blue ones (not me).

    I'd like a change from the black shak jersey when it's in the laundry. I agree the thistle heather is a nice color but every time I buy a piece of clothing in a lavender or purpley hue I wind up not liking the color after I wear it a few times. This has happened several times and I just won't buy any more purple-hued clothes....they just don't click with me.

    The brown is "comforting" and "safe", but not very interesting and I can't say I love how brown tops look with black pants. I wear mostly black on the bottom, either leggings or skirt or wool pants. Do you gals like brown tops over black pants?

    I guess I may just need to think about going with the "warm green" as an alternate to my black shak.
    Any opinions?

    Purple-y blues look great on me. If you have any woolies in purple hues that you don't like in a size L; pm me, eh?

    wool baclavas

    I mean balacalvas. does anyone have any recommendations? i guess the only companies with wool balaclavas are smartwool, icebreaker, and ibex. Does anyone have any experience with the balaclavas? I own a lot of smartwool socks and like them. Icebreaker has really great fitting and nice wool tops. Not much from Ibex has worked out for me- they just are always too big. So many woollie sellers so little money.

    Not much help, but Trek420 and I really love our Ibex wool helmet liners.

    Shak

    Lisa,
    I think a brown shak would look great with black bottoms. On the Ibex website the model for the full zip shak has a brown shak with black pants. However, the green would give you more variety than the brown as an alternative to your black shak. The green is brighter and cheerier.
    I agree, I love the shak fabric and fit.

    Sorry Knot- I gave the Smartwool purple heather zip to my biking daughter!

    Natasha- thanks for the input- it helps! I am still thinking what to do- the brown or the green?.....
    (I have the black shak jersey, and I'll be getting the red hoodie soon....)

    What a great sweater! Backcountryoutlet.com actually has this sweater for a bit cheaper, plus free shipping. (Backcountry.com runs SAC).
