I wonder if it's because my full zip shak is from last year (or older) - it's the persimmon color - that it's different? My half-zip is this year's model. There is definitely a weight difference in mine...weird. It's so noticeable that I didn't even think that my half-zip was a shak at all until I saw the receipt from when my husband bought it for me!

Hey maybe your older full zip "shak" is actually a full zip Switchback- which they did make last year in the Persimmon color. I don't think they had persimmon shaks. The switchback is definitely a thicker wool than the shaks. Is this what your full zip looks like?- this is a switchback persimmon full zip:

Natasha- If sandra cancelled her order this morning, her medium might not show up in their inventory until tomorrow or so- changes take a day or two to process sometimes.

Nope, definitely a shak. This is the one I got - listed as the same season as the light blue one that udans.com still has in L.


Does anyone else have both a persimmon or light blue one and a black, brown or thistle one? Are they the same thickness?


Edited to add: I just compared the half-zip, full-zip and hooded shak descriptions on the ibex site - and they are all identical material. Perhaps they updated the full-zip from a previous year? Mine is definitely heavier - Weird!

Just received a call from High Country Outfitters. They said they had bad news. They do NOT have the carrie hoody they thought they might have in a large and the don't have the vest either. So, my entire order is canceled. If you placed an order with the, don't hold your breath!

Just as well. I'm looking forward to the shak.

I just got an email and my order for the small black starto sweater was also cancelled, out of stock.....

Oh well, better for my pocket book. Where I live it may have been too warm and my 2 shaks really are enough (and there is always fleece..........).

Sandra, I have the thistle full zip shak and you are going to just love it! So, no worries. I'm not that disappointed. Like you, I just got caught up in the excitement of the sale plus hearing about everyones purchases yesterday. I am also sure from what you say about your size that the large shak will be perfect for you. I am also busty, and at first I worried the small was a tad too tight in my bust, but it loosened up in no time, and is very flattering. Also, since you are actively losing weight you want to err on the smaller end of things so you don't have to do this all again next year!

Bring all of your wool, Trisk. It's going to be fairly warm when you arrive, but then the temperature will be plummeting to about 20 by Sat.

Oh no, this is what I feared. Maybe I should have ordered that down parka, but my plan is if I am cold after breakfast on saturday to check out the EMS sale in Harvard Square. I am bringing all my wool, and my PI gavia jacket to layover. I also saw something called a down sweater that I could layer over my wool, but we'll see.... And then there are always my sons jackets......
