Someone talk me out of this: http://www.ibexwear.com/shop/Product...t=Pingo-Jacket

Tell me it won't solve my "I must ride in the rain but sweat too much to wear a rain jacket but get wet in just a wool shirt or sweater" problem.

Tell me that even on sale it's still too expensive.

Tell me I will be too confused trying to decide if I want L or XL.

Tell me it won't look as fabulous on me as TrickyTiger's does on her.

Tell me I'll wish I'd got the Dash/Breakaway instead.

Oooooh...TT's jacket was nice, wasn't it. It's on sale!<sigh> Why, oh, why do I keep clicking on these links. I really aught to know better by now. Aaagh! Must run away! Must not lust after this too! M-m-m-m-must re-s-s-sist. Aaagh! No!

(too late)

I got all the way to the checkout page, and then saw that with shipping AND tax, the jacket was gonna be nearly $130.

Sanity stepped in and stopped me.

Then I started to think I should just go for it. I mean, what is $18 in the long run, anyway?

Girded my loins, kissed my credit card pay-down plan bye-bye, and went back for the Pingo.

But Ibex's website had crashed.

Someone is watching out for me....

Edit: Ooh, but now the website is up again! Maybe I should just go to bed, and think about it.

For what it's worth, I have that brown Pingo and love it.

That's the one I'm eye-balling!

I went comparison-shopping for other softshells, thinking that if I found a cheaper one I'd consider that instead. (I really do think a softshell will solve my sweat problem)

Didn't find any for much cheaper.

I think the Ibex is singing its siren-song for me....

Don't forget TrickyTiger said it runs a bit small, she was wearing a Medium but usually wears a Small. I'm looking at XL, so it will fit over my other L Ibex stuff.

My resistance is breaking down. I'm talking myself into it.
(maybe I'll go to the LBS first, and see if I can be tempted by anything else. I do want to get a new pump.)

Edit: Trek420 talked me out of it. But I still want it. But I don't need it. Sigh, wool-lust is a terrible thing...

AAAAAAH!!!!!

Look at this! http://www.teamestrogen.com/products.asp?pID=30562

AAAAAH!

I go to TE shopping to look at a PI Whisper jacket or the Sugoi that is similar, and look what temptation comes my way! There is no escape!
