Hmmm...

Maybe I'll try the Izzi pants.

On Fridays it might pass.

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!

To each her own - I picked this color over a black(?) jacket when it was available, and love it. The tan is a nice neutral, and burnt orange is much more visible... I also got the light green fulled-wool jacket at closeout prices, and I like it (it is hard to find a green that I don't like though). Most of my pieces happen to be the lovely maroon color though!
