Yeah, we're all so different. I'm a B-/A+ cup but very bouncy, so for running I want a serious masher bra. In my running bras, my belly will stick out almost as much as my b00bs, and I don't have that much of a belly.

I can't wait for the new Ibex bras!

I am in Portugal, and have a laundering question. I always hand wash and rack dry my ibex. But it is very damp here and I don't have time to get my things dry if I wash them tomorrow and hang them to dry. The tag says machine wash, but dry flat. Have you guys ever tried putting your ibex in a dryer? I don't wanna ruin them (or shrink them), but it would be nice to get everything clean tomorrow before I start a lot of travelling (pieces in question are shak, kate, razzle, zepher and norgie crew).

(pieces in question are shak, kate, razzle, zepher and norgie crew).

I have put all those pieces (except the razzle which i don't have) into a dryer set on LOW heat and then taken them out after 20 or 30 minutes and hung to finish drying overnight. After the brief time in the dryer they have been 'mostly' dry, and after hanging are quite dry in the morning. They haven't shrunk any noticable amount with this gentle treatment. You can always finish them in the air fluff (no heat) dryer setting if the machine has one.

Okay I'll wait for the new Ibex- a little more structure sounds like a good thing. If I buy one of the Biocompatible I will post a review.

Thank you so much Lisa! I am having a great time. Layering my ibex is working out perfectly. Its just hard to launder on the road, but I think drying on low occasionally will be perfectly fine. The only piece I am disappointed in is my alpstar pant. It was already a little loose when I bought it, and then it stretched out a lot after wearing and laundering didn't bring it back in. But, I have other things to wear so I'll be fine.

We have been in Portugal since a few days before christmas visiting family. Tomorrow we head out on the next stage of our adventure, which includes professional visits to Seville, Madrid, Barcelona and Lausanne.

The only bad thing is that I MISS MY BIKE, but its too wet here for it to have made any sense to bring it.

I am in love with the Ibex underpants! I used them on my x country ski trip and they made a big difference as to how warm my azz was. Definitely need more pairs.
Today I wore my hooded Shak skiing, with a Craft base layer and my Go Lite jacket. It was perfectly fine, at 15 degrees with a brisk wind. I found the Smart wool base layer to be the best for winter activities, but when I wore it with the Shak, the whole thing felt itchy. It must have been the combination of the 2 things, because I love the Smart Wool base layers. Need more of those, too!

Trisk - I don't know if it's too late or not, but I wouldn't put the Kate or the Razzel in the dryer. My Kate shrunk (mostly in length) when dried and my Twizzel (which I think is similar in fabric to the Razzel) shrunk a LOT. In both cases, I tried to do what Lisa suggested (mostly to get off the dog hair!) but I forgot them and they dried the whole way and shrunk. I still wear them, but they aren't as nicely fitting as my other stuff.

I have fully dried one of my shaks, my zepher 1/2 zip and my norgie crew with no shrinkage at all.
