I actually wore my Icebreaker quarter zip when I commuted to work Wednesday. It was 42 out at 5:30 AM. It might have been a bit too warm with a LS Craft base layer and a wind jacket, but my regular jerseys are too cool for that temperature and my other 2 wool cycling specific jerseys are way too warm for that temperature.
I keep thinking "this is the last time I will be wearing my Shak for a few months," and then we have another raw, cool day where it is the perfect thing to wear. But I am trying to stay away from any purchases of wool for a few months. Of course, if anyone sees a black full zip Shak in an x small, tell me!

Yep, wore my full zip shak AND woolie base layer this morning to walk to breakfast at 7:30. It was about 55 degreesF and lovely out.

ibex balance runners
My two cents on the Ibex running shorts- THEY RULE!
And I have never previously worn tight shorts to run in, so for me to love these really says a lot!
No creep issues what-so-ever- these babies stay put. The fit is good- I am usually between small and medium, and I think the medium was a good choice. Comfy without being constrictive. I don't know how they will be in warm weather, but for the shoulder-seasons they are very temperature-moderating.
One washing in Woolite took care of any scratchy issues. I roll down the waistband once to make them a little lower-rise. So far, I've run in them, slept in them, worn them under my rock-climbing pants, and tried yoga in them.
Me likey.

Size up on this jersey unless you like your jerseys VERY form fit. I'm generally a medium, and the Spin jersey in medium fit me, but left nothing to the imagination. The large fit more like a normal jersey - sleek enough but somewhat loose, though not baggy. Also, the zipper on these is very small gage, of the hidden type, and didn't operate smoothly on the samples I tried.

I wasn't sure, but I went with M since that's what all my other jerseys are. I have two Descente jerseys and a Precaryous jersey all in M and they fit fine, I suppose I could have gone with a small, but I don't like things too snug. Hopefully this jersey will fit okay, too. I suppose we'll know in a few days!
