can you find me a link for it?
I'm going to try and snag something when they go on sale

Mimi, I have the Smartwool helmet liner, and it is too big for my head. I would be willing to sell/trade/deal. PM me.

Have you tried washing and drying it on low in the dryer? I have a teeny head, and mine was just a bit loose too (my Mero was a bit loose as well), but I washed and dried it in washer and drier on gentle and it then fit perfectly.

Tried that. Mimi is doing me the great service of giving this hat a good home.

I have a great helmet liner, but it's not wool. It's just a cheap Performance fleece liner in a size small. It was my son's when he was in high school and he has a teeny head like me. It stays over my ears and keeps me very warm.

I have the Ibex Meru hat--wonderful--but I probably reach for my Lands End cheapy ($7) black fleece hat just as often, with no noticeable difference in terms of warmth. Both keep my ears covered, and both have about the same bulk under the helmet........

By the way, doooohhhhhh, I realized today that both of my Pingo jackets DO have double action zippers. (Asleep at ye old wheel when I answered Lisa's question about a week ago. ) I ran 'em both through zip-up tests today and neither was difficult to close......Definitely easier, in fact, than some other items I have with double action zippers.

Sandra, I've lost track---have you received your Pingo from REI yet? If so, how do you like it? (I'm wearing one of mine right now--just in from a walk....)

I got a 1/2 zip black shak...I like it although I prefer the full zip....and another echo T in purple(yum) and a pair of Loose tights.

I have to shorten the loose tights, but I'm not quite sure what to do about that sheild-y seamed thing at the bottom of the legs....???

Today was just a big ol' shipping & receiving day at my house, most of it revolving around Wool.

Received:
Ibex Dash Hybrid Tights - these are the climawool front, wool wool in back. I wish they were just 1/2" shorter at the ankles, but otherwise I love these!

Ibex ClimaWool Gloves - also a blend of climawool, with leathery palms. My hands started feeling toasty just in 5 minutes of trying them on for size. Keepers!

Exchanging:
Ibex Alyx Jacket - While I take a size L in most Ibex top layers, this size L jacket was huge on me! I'm exchanging it for a M. I absolutely love the the blue color and styling.

Returned:
Ibex Vertigo Vest - Not boobage compatible. Had to go.

Ibex Full Zip Switchback - Even though I anticipated shrinkage and bought a size larger, it still shrank more than one size. It was still alright over the boobage, but it fit me really strangely over my shoulders. I think it is meant for a more narrow-shouldered person, not broad footballer shoulders like mine. And the zipper didn't shrink, so it was all wonky. Also, I think I've decided that I'm just not a Loden-Lover.

On order:
Shak Full Zip in Thistle - OK, I went for it. I just had to! I still haven't returned my Sea Mist Full Zip Shak either. I might just keep them both!

Roaster Boxer and Balance Thongs - I'm so excited that somebody is finally making wool thongs!


PS: Erm. Sorry about the whole sheep humping pics thing. Didn't mean to offend anyone.
