Thanks GLC, but its too late. The kate and razzle did shrink a little, but they were already a tad loose so they still fit fine. The shaks seem totally unchanged. I really didn't have a choice traveling. I just couldn't get them dry any other way and I really needed to start this leg of my trip with clean clothes.

Well, thanks to (enabler) Triskeliongirl, who clued me in on the REI sale on Ibex full-zip Shaks, I now have my first Ibex garment (Shak in black) on the way. I hope it fits, and I hope I love it as much as everyone else who has one seems to! I'm very excited...

Wow Redrhodie, those Valenki boot are cute! Do they have a leather or hard sole? Looks like the Russian answer to Ugg boots! Tokie

I love the valenki!
Some have soles and others are just wool. You can get a pair of "galoshi" for the wool ones.

Here is an animated discussion of the merits of "the valenki"!http://shoeblogs.com/2006/01/11/the-valenki/ Silly : - ) Tokie ( I too can imagine skinny women in droopy gauzy blouses and skirts wearing the Valenki in 68 degree southern california weather! perception of cold is relative.)

My friend wore them with skinny jeans, tucked in. They looked really cute, very tall, almost to her knees. She had the galoshi over them. She said she paid about $75, including shipping from Russia! It looks like they're more than that now. The website she ordered from is gone, apparently.

Emily, I hope you love your Shak. Lisa got me hooked on Ibex at about this time last year. I now have 2 full zip Shaks (black and brown), 2 Shak hoodies in red and black, an Icebreaker full zip black hoodie my husband bought me, an Icebreaker quarter zip top, and some Smart Wool micro weight base layers.
Yesterday I ordered 2 more pair of Ibex boy shorts underwear and another Smart Wool base layer from TE.
Oy, I better be done.... but I am thinking about an Ibex bra for x country skiing.
