It's fall!

I spent the day in an ibex sport bra, with a short sleeve merino t shirt, with the ibex serrano full zip bike jersey (my favorite layering piece ever currently), smartwool socks, and an ibex softshell over top.

I'm all snuggly, soft & warm.

I need Ibex pants.

Anyone has had success with their pants at work? In a business-on-the-casual-side kind of office?

Does the Ibex Serrano jersey run small or if I normally wear a Medium jacket, is it safe to say that a Medium Ibex jersey would fit me?

[Cataboo]

I have the medium - I can show it to you on Thursday. You're much thinner than I, but probably have longer arms. But I think ibex sizing if fairly normal.

Grog,

I'm not sure whether or not you can get away with knit wool pants as business casual attire - but I have the loose tights & the izzi pants and like them both...

Then they have the more softshell like pants- the alpstar.

Oh yeah. I wore my Shak for the first time since June last night.

As far as the pants, I can't really wear Ibex pants. I am in between an x small and small. And of course, they are all too long. I would even pay to have them hemmed, if I could find some that fit. I ended up buying a pair of Jones Ware semi-custom wool pants, that I wear for x country skiing, hiking, and snow shoeing. It was only $10.00 extra for them to hem them to my length and tweak the waist measurement a bit.
I think Ibex pants are made for tall, skinny people. All of the ones I've tried on, I could barely pull up over my knees, when I tried on my usual size. Since I am thin to begin with, I gave up!

I wore my Smartwool turtleneck yesterday. 2 days ago I was in short sleeves. It all happens so fast.

I totally agree. I was sleeveless on Thursday, Friday afternoon I was transitioning to my Smartwool Lightweight long sleeve top.

[Grog]

Hmmm...

Maybe I'll try the Izzi pants.

On Fridays it might pass.

[Cataboo]

Ibex pants are all too long for me... I just hem them. Or roll them up. Smartwool pants too long as well. But I'm 5'1, so I expect that.

I found a pair of the Izzi pants for a ridiculously low price on Amazon recently and bought them--they fit great (size XS)! I haven't worn them yet (it's not cold enough) but am looking forward to it. The length is actually just right for me; I hope they don't shrink at all when I wash them. I also have a pair of Icebreaker Lily pants--talk about WAY too long!! They also had zippers at the hems so I had to take them to a tailor to have them shortened (I had them not put the zippers back since there's no need for them) so they wouldn't drag on the ground. Those pants must be designed either for really tall people or those who will wear them with freakin' stilettos...

All the Ibex pants don't fit me right. I have hips.
When I try on ones that are big enough to fit my hips, the waist is just gigantic with a huge 3" open gap.
Funny, I don't look particularly odd shaped.
My friend who is shaped like a boy fits in to all the Ibex pants perfectly.

Wore my SW sleeveless base layer two days in a row (and it's the only thing that didn't smell).

Never took off my PI wool arm warmers today.

Relaxing after the ride in fuzzy SW socks.

Wearing my Icebreaker hoodie today...

had my icebreaker nomad on last night with some ibex loose tights.

Bleecker street girl - ibex loose tights look godawful on me with my hips. but I was at home and don't really care whether I look terrible if I'm swaddled in wool by myself.


Been wearing my ibex alyx jacket the last couple days - has been a great wind block, and putting pitzips on a softshell's great. Backountry outlet has some left in l & xl for 70% off in kind a yicky color:

I can relate. The loose tights looked positively awful on me too!- I had to get the size large to fit my hips nicely...but then I looked like I had elephant legs (which i don't) and the waist was swimmingly huge as usual. They simply felt uncomfortable because they fit so poorly, i wouldn't even wear them around the house. What I do instead is wear thick Ibex wool tights (sometimes with another pair of warm tights underneath) and a short dress or short skirt...or some stretch knickers and wool knee socks over that...looks cute and I'm WARM.

Today was 50'sF but felt cold and windy and cloudy....I was out on my bike doing errands. Smartwool base LS crew, Descent Coldout tights, wool socks, short dress, Ibex full zip Shak. Felt great!
