    Ibex isn't loving me right now...
    (I'm lovin' Ibex, sitting here in a Q-T, Balance Runners, and Shak)

    I posted two reviews this weekend. I'm a "verified reviewer" which means they think I'm probably not a spam artist.

    Well... my last two reviews had some negative things to say. (my very dirty "new" Pingo, my creep-up-your-legs-til-you-scream Balance Runners) And it's been a while, and they haven't shown up on the website.

    Hope I get over the rejection soon, cuz I wanna order some more stuff from Ibex PDQ.

    I'm not surprised that companies wouldn't post not-fully-positive reviews on their web site, especially if it's a manufacturer (Ibex, as opposed to, say, REI).

    I'd suggest sending them a note by email, though, if you haven't already... I find the Pingo situation a bit embarrassing for them, and they should make that right.

    My personal preference would be to handle the issue of the dirty Pingo separately via email, as it is most likely an isolated incident. Then do a real review discussing the pros/cons of the jacket in the online review.

    I certainly hope they don't censor your review about the Balance short. Like you, I love the way the roasters fit and based on your experience of loving the roasters and hating the way the balance shorts fit, this is very pertinent relevant info!

    The Pingo review handled the review of the jacket seperately from the state of the jacket.

    It would be pretty easy to edit out the part about the state of the jacket.

    I am a bit bummed the Balance Runner review isn't up. It is important that folks who love Roasters be able to compare them to the Runner. The Runner is a nice idea, but I'm not sure I want to risk trying their regular briefs knowing how much the Balance creeps around.

    I did not anticipate my need for wool in spring. Even when its in the 80s outside my office is so cold I need wool. So, I ordered this sweater in 'sandstone' for spring:

    I'll post a report when it comes. Actually I ordered it in both S and M. While all my other ibex is S, if I want to layer it over blouses and even a S shak, I thought the M might be better, but just in case it runs too big I wanted to also be able to try on the S and I'll return one.

    Ha! I just ordered the same sweater on Monday, Trisk!

    I ordered that one since I wear my Carrie hoodies so much. I debated between the sandstone and the currant, but I figured the sandstone was a good spring neutral. I also ordered a Rossa Hoody and a Cadence T. I'll be sure to report back how much I love them all once they arrive.
