How do the men's Shaks run? Hubby normally wears a L in everything. Think a L would work for him in a Shak? He won't want it fitted like a cyclist. I'm sure he is going to want one. He is usually colder than I am just sitting around the house.

My husband is usually a Large in tops, and the Large halfzip shak fits him beautifully. He got himself one black one, then wore it almost every day, and 2 weeks later he ordered a second one to wear while one was in the laundry. Ahhh, the classic shak behavioral pattern! (and he doesn't even usually wear black!)

Two black full zip Shaks on the way. One Men's L and one Women's L. I didn't have to think long on this one. We don't normally do anything for Valentine's Day, but this year I have it covered!

Yeah, you can have fun zipping and unzipping each other's shaks!

Oy. I need to stop reading this. I succumbed to the STP email today and ended up buying 139.00 worth of stuff. Of course I saved $89.00.

It's not Ibex, but it is wool. I swear, I can't even remember what I bought. Maybe I should remove myself from their list.

I know what you mean, Robyn! Seems like every time I check this thread, I end up yanking out my credit card.......Yesterday's talk about the Pingo jacket (I already own TWO) had me eyeing the sale on REI's website. I put a Small chocolate Pingo in my shopping basket in the morning, resisted the temptation to check out, went back later in the day---and to my relief---they'd sold out of my size, yayyyyy!.....

Lisa, I wore my Ibex Climawool gloves yesterday for a late afternoon 10-miler in high 40s temps. Love 'em, very comfortable, but you're right---they're definitely not built to fend off a serious wind chill factor on a bicycle. They did just fine yesterday, but in lower temps I'll add a liner glove. Next ride, I'll give the Ibex loden mittens a whirl.....

Boo Hoo. I got an email saying that the men's L shak is out of stock. They have one in mustard seed, but that sounds yuck. I'm so disappointed. I was just bragging on them to hubby and he was wanting one.

I need to find another source with a good price.

Trisk and I met for breakfast in Harvard Square today. We both were wearing our full zip Shaks, but, ah, she had on a lot more layers over hers when she came in. We had a very nice breakfast at Zoe's (omelets) and then we walked over to EMS to check out the supposed 70% off sale. There wasn't anything really great there, so Trisk went off to Boston to shop for at the Prudential Center. Since I really have nothing I need to buy (really), I headed back on the train.
It was great to meet a TE person from another part of the country (although Trisk qualifies as an honorary New Englander, since she went to college here). Too bad it was a little too cold for a ride at 9 AM today (21 when I left my house, but quite a bit warmer after we ate).
