I just had a conversation in the breakroom at work with a guy about Ibex. He saw my shak and asked if I was an Ibex fan. Little does he know!!
We both excitedly discussed the virtues of wool vs other materials...shared stories about our respective visits to the Icebreaker store downtown...exchanged information about the best place to buy....
How funny! I should have told him that it was nice to meet another woolweenie at work. Wonder what he would have said to that?

My acupuncturist is an Ibex fan. He notices every piece of wool I wear to an appointment. Well, he's a former racer, so he is versed in all things wicking. It's funny, every medical professional I go to is a cyclist in one way or another.

Just a little inside scoop during the autumn Ibex buying season....
The "Indie Crew" long sleeve tops that are on sale at Ibex in the women's outlet are not as soft as all my other Ibex merino tops....in fact they are a bit itchy.

The 2 Ibex short sleeved shirts I bought at the Arcadia shop last month are kind of itchy, too.
I am bummed.

Uh-oh....is this a trend? Originally Posted by Crankin

My Indie shirts are too slim to wear a softer base layer under. I didn't notice they were itchy until I had cut off the tags and started wearing them. I never figured anything Ibex would not be soft and dreamy.

I have 3 Ibex Norgie crews and they are very soft. I do not find them itchy at all. They are not a real slim fit. I wear them a lot in colder weather.
