Has anyone got the Ibex Pingo jacket? I'm wondering what the sizing is like as it says a Small is a US 4-6 and a Medium is a US 8-10. I'm sort of inbetween and I'm not sure which to go for.

with the pingo, I'd say go larger - it does not stretch, so it can be kind of constricting if it fits too well and you're trying to move your arms.

Thanks! I'm glad I asked as I was erring towards the small previously. I'll be wearing it on my bike so I larger would definitely be better for the arms/shoulders.

I forgot to add a link - they are on offer at Sierra Trading for $102 which seems like a good deal: http://www.sierratradingpost.com/p/,...For-Women.html

that's the jacket i got. Medium is roomy for me...! I mean, its just right, roomy enough to wear over stuff. I take medium most of the time.

I'm now dithering over the colour - for those who already have one, what colour did you go for?

For wearing normally I'd go for black but since I'll be wearing it on my bike quite a bit I'm thinking of the green or yellow.

Oh MY!

Just got my Ibex shipment.

I haven't touched the Pointelle tops yet (I got a red and a black) but that scoop-t is SPECTACULAR.

I am quite distressed that they do not have the kelp colour in small anymore. Only black. Now I would order a black one but I just got lots of new black tops so it would be a bit much.

But I LOVE it. I wish I had ordered it in more than one colour.

Oh my gosh. Why did you start this thread? Sales at Team Estrogen, Ibex, and Backcountry, oh my. (And the Pingos are now 45% off / $68 for the Labor Day sale at Sierra Trading.)

Cool summer usually means a cold winter following in Minnesota... I'm using that as my excuse for stocking up on woolly items. Um, I can save on heating, right?

I got my Pizzi skirt from Ibex today - it is cute! The wool/cotton combo still has a nice feel and lays smoothly like all wool. It is apparently cotton side on the inside and wool on the outside from what I can tell. It has a nice soft feel, and the little pocket near the hem is barely noticeable. I am very pleased! Tokie

Right. You're doing it for the economy and the enviornment. Yep.
