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.

Ok, I got the Black Shak yesterday. I wore it all day long today, even though our high was in the 70's. It was cool this morning when I put it on and it was so comfy, I never took it off.

The Pingo just came (and it's almost 8 p.m. here on Friday night. I'm glad I'm not married to a UPS man! ) I love it. It is just what I wanted, another layer to put over the shak. It is very similar to my Cirque which I love except way cuter. I didn't have a problem at all with the zipper. It is a little bit trickier because you have to get it in both, but not really a problem.

I ordered the L and the XL. Either one would work, but I'm keeping the XL. I'll offer up the L here if anyone wants it, PM me, otherwise, it's going back. It's a really pretty dark chocolate.

Wow, you girls have all been really busy ordering wool back and forth across the country!

Glad no one else is happen trouble with that double Pingo zipper. I was one of 3 women in the store who could not get them to work on several different pingos. Maybe there was a defective run of them? Or maybe the ones in the store had been treated roughly by people trying them on.

I'm just going to sit back and enjoy all your purchase descriptions vicariously for a while.
Can't we see any pix of you guys in your new items?

nope, no picture of me. I was in the bathtub when the UPS man came so I tried mine on on top of my pajamas.

Lisa, why the name change?

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

I kept finding my name when googling bike info and my own posts kept popping up. I've used it on another forum too for several years, and it's time for a change. Sort of gave me the creeps seeing it in Google so much, so I decided to have a new username without my real name in it.
