I try not to read this thread so I don't catch the fever but I must give a shout out to my Alpaca wool Cannondale beanie. It is so comfy and even after sweating up a storm mountain biking, it doesn't stink. You ladies may be onto something here!

Help...me...resist....

Altrec.com has the Icebreaker Nomad on sale with a coupon for $84. I know I don't *need* it, but that's a really good price. Someone make me stop shopping for wool!!!!!

ETA: Oh no. They have a lot more than that on sale. Cannot resist...

(Looking at the Quantum Pants and City Lily Pants. Anyone have experience with Icebreaker's pants?)

Bleecker,
Got my TE order today and thanks for telling me to get that smartwool midweight zip.... it is indeed seriously comfortable! I tried it on and haven't taken it off since!

You're welcome!

Now you'll need a second one for when the first one is being laundered....because you'll want to wear them every day.

I'm assuming you know the basics about merino wash-safe items:

You can wear them more times than you'd think and they won't get smelly like cotten or poly- just hang them out to air overnight. Washing them after every wearing will just wear them out too soon. They are wool- they don't get stinky for a while.
When you do wash them- gentle cycle, gentle temps.
To dry- lay out to air dry is best, but you can dry them in a dryer if you set the temp on LOW and take them out as soon as possible. Sometimes I half-dry them in the dryer (to help get the cat hair off) then lay them out to finish drying by air.

Have fun!

Alright weenies I am tempted by your dark side. How does Ibex fit? And yes I realize you have probably answered this 10x in the 180 pages but searching is hard!

I got $100 left from Christmas and with our mild yet a bit chilly for me Spring coming the El Fitos looks tempting. I am a large size 8 or small size 10 (meaning I am stuck between the two in my weight loss at the moment!), in most cycling clothes I wear a medium now because large is getting just a tad too big. Does Ibex fit all Euro where I need to go big or like American brands (PI and Cannondale are the majority of my things) where I am a medium?
