    I picked up the dark brown one that I've been lusting after for months now.

    Ibex Lightweight Spin Jersey - what temp?

    Hi, based on this thread (because I am still a newbie) I picked up on CL (btw, I need a 12 step program for CL addiction - it is your fault though! - I learned about it here on the forum) Ibex Lightweight Spin Jersey for even $50.

    Here is a pic (this IS the color I love):


    My question to you all wool-pros is: What temps is this jersey most comfortable for? I know that it can go to quite extreme, but what is the ideal weather in which you would pick this jersey for a ride?

    Thanks!

    DH has ridden the Men's version of that jersey from 65 on up to 95 and 95% humidity. He LOVES it. Best part - it doesn't get clammy when you either 1) go into AC or 2) get rained on

    I got that same jersey, and was hesitant to wear it on my commute this a.m. b/c it's supposed to be pushing 90 and very humid for the ride home. Maybe I'll wear it tomorrow and really put the Merino through its paces....

    OK, so I got my Ibex order today.

    I liked the Outback long sleeve shirt. The Burnt Red is more of plum-red than a red-red though, and it's fairly thin like a Kate...but still pretty. Size medium fit me best.
    Got a couple of Indie Crews on sale in dark charcoal and medium grey. Nice, and a little thicker. Size Large fit me best.

    Darn, see how I always have to order both med and large because I fall in between on the tops! The free shipping helped a lot there, because now I just have to pay to ship the other ones back and keep the ones that fit.


    I'll have to send both the Berk Short and the Razzle Capris back though.
    The size 12 in both fit my hips and legs just right.....but the waist was hanging open in a gap in the back that jutted between 3-4" out from my back. A belt would not have solved it, it would have bunched up way too much.
    I guess they figure if you wear size 12 pants that means you're probably just big all over. My hourglass figure done me in again, I should know by now not to try to buy pants online. I'm bummed....they looked so nice in the pix!

    I do wish Ibex would go back to showing actual people wearing their clothes instead of just showing the clothes laid out flat and perfect. I do get a better sense of fit when I see someone wearing an item.

    At least I have three new snuggly merino autumn pullovers. I especially like those stripes down the arms of the Indie crews.

    Well, for me, the hotter it gets, the more I can't think of any jersey that would be more comfortable than my Ibex Spin jersey.

    Dang, the price of Bicycle Fixation's wool knickers just keeps going up!

    Oh, how I wish I'd had the good sense to buy them when they were $90-ish!

    swobo women jersey sizing?

    CL has long sleeve swobo jersey which I would really like. Based on the swobo website, I am between sizes L (38in chest) and XL (40in chest). They give no info on waist size, only the length or sleeve and length of front. I am usually 39in in chest (36D) and otherwise I am reasonably normal size (not fat). Any suggestion which size to get? I hate when the XL sizing is sometimes wide in armpits...

    THANKS!

    I just got a beeeeyootiful dark red SWOBO LS jersey on Chainlove...I got XL...and it fits well...I have a 44" chest...the sleeves are long.

    The back pockets have a lot of elastic on top that pull it --slightly--onto a fitted waist....which I think is smashing.....assuming martin is a girl.....

    Like the Ibex you got.

    Hehe - look at the pic in my profile ! Definitely girl. I am Czech and Martinka is an endearment of Martina in my language. Something similar as Martinita would be in Spanish. 'P' is initial of my last name

    Thanks - I think I will go with L then if I am 5 in less than you...
