I have a zephyr, and it doesn't cover my ears any better than the castelli...

Hmmm, well if it doesn't cover MY ears I can send it back and order the headliner, but it shouldn't cost too much for return shipping. Out of curiousity, what helmet size are mimi and Deb? I wear the old S/M Giro stopped making, smalls are tight and mediums feel a tad too loose.

I have a small head. I have a medium helmet BELL, but it adjusts WAY down.

I'm a small (~6.75 hat size). I found the Smartwool cap a bit too big, but the Ibex fits me. The Zephyr skull cap that I got is not symmetrical - it's cut longer in back and on the sides that it is in the front. Ibex did have the Meru hat in a regular and with earflaps version. My Zephyr has the "with earflaps" cut, but maybe there was a symmetrical version also.

Well, I did order the sale one in the link Deb sent, so lets hope for the best....

I guess the arrival of spring shortly is bumping this thread down! I keep getting emails from all these places about wool sales, but I can't spend any more money! I am having withdrawl. I did buy a bolero that arrived and fits perfectly and one of the new flared skorts from Terry, but that is on back order. At least when it comes in March, it will satisfy my bike clothing cravings.

I am *thinking* about doing another sale order (rooted to nature also sent me a 10% off coupon.........):

Has anyone seen or tried on this piece in crab apple red?

I am trying to figure out
1) Is the red as dark as the pic, or is it a bit lighter like the norgie crew I saw in a store. THe color has the same name, crabapple red, but looks diff. in the pix. In general, when ibex uses a color name, are all pieces with that name the same color (I have also noticed that dff. images of space blue and warm green also look diff depending on the piece). I want a color to wear with my charcoal gray and black suits. Bright red is great, I just wonder if this will be too dark a red.

2) How does the fit compare to the kate and full zip shak. In both those pieces I am a small, but they are billed as semi-fit and this is billed as fitted. I also have the ribbie which while snug fits well in small. I am just trying to figure out if I need to size up to a medium or not.

Tri- I don't know nothin' about the Razzle.

If any of you guys order from Root to Nature, just be sure to check to make sure their sale prices are not higher than some of the sale items right now at Ibex! I noticed a couple were higher than Ibex's own sales prices at the moment.
ALERT: Ibex winter sale ends in a few days....as does their free shipping deal.

I really have so many merino wardrobe items at this point (mostly Ibex, but some Smartwool and thriftstore too) that I really am starting to be able to resist their endless sale coupons now. Sounds crazy, but it's true! I have a LOT of ibex & smartwool stuff.
It will be interesting to see what develops as Spring comes around. I might need a few sleeveless lightweight merino tanks. I have enough knickers, tights, capris, and bike shorts for an army, so I definitely have my butt covered!
