Thanks to Cat, I'm finally a Shak owner. I understand now why yinz guys love them! The mocha brown one I now have is lovely and versatile enough that I can dress it up for work.

Yes, Jolt I guess I will be surprised. He called me from the cruise ship last night and he said he's seen way too many co-workers in Speedos than he cares to...
On my way to Northfield x country wearing my Ibex backcountry pants and icebreaker full zip hoodie. I have my jacket, but I think later I will be able to ski in just the Icebreaker.

You didn't like the color? I really like that cocoa brown. Anyway, thank you!! I got it on my birthday (Friday), so the day was even more special.

I liked the color, it just didn't look very good on me. Black would have been a safer bet, but I'd decided when I ordered it that I have too much black... Originally Posted by mickchick

I went for a bike ride yesterday (god it was beautiful out), in my ibex bike shorts + ibex knee warmers + wool socks + smartwool jersey + ibex skyline full zip sweater (that's become my favorite layering piece recently). I have some kids smartwool neck gaiters that work really well as ear warmers or a headband that I used.
I was quite the wool weenie.

Ha - My H bought two thin merino wool sweaters at the GAP just after Christmas. He accidently threw one of them in the dryer so now I have a new merino wool sweater!
Actually, I feel badly, because he really liked this one and it looked really good on him. I, on the other hand, don't really need more wool...
Speaking of which, I'm wearing my new dark cranberry full zip shak today and I LOVE it. It's a fabulously flattering color for me (if I do say so myself) and of course, super comfy.

I went for a 1 hour ride at about 32F today. I was super comfy and toasty!
Had on my insulated hiking boots with 2 pairs wool socks, Ibex Ribbie and Smartwool midweight zip turtleneck, a screaming yellow lightweight jersey and then a screaming yellow windbreaker on the outside, two winter tights, layered 3 pairs gloves, a thin balaclava and a windstopper beanie under my helmet. It was all just right!- probably would have been fine without the extra jersey though....my core felt a bit warmer than necessary.
This was only my second ride of the new year thanks to the crappy weather.
