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!

I just went with the smaller size which was tight around the hips and didn't gape... but merino wool is not flattering at all when tight on rolls of fat.


I can try the skirt thing if I want to wear them in public.

Generally, I just shove them underneath ski pants because I want them as a baselayer for skiing.

It was downright cold today (high of 53). It seems that my internship site believes in AC even in the cold. I wore my Kate and Shak, although I took the Shak off for a lot of the day.
I think I will be investing in some Ibex base layers/tops. I'd like to get some of the camis, but I know they are super long and I am just too short for that.

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!

I don't do tan. I like orange. I got it in the dark brown with tan highlights. The green jacket was nice, but I already had it in a few other colors.

Speaking of colors...can I complain about Ibex's fall colors? What is up with using pretty much all the same colors with the addition of only white. White? Really? Ugh.

Why no orange or rich blue...or some other vibrant color? The names have changed, but the colors are basically the same as what I already have! I see no reason to buy an 'alligator' full zip shak when I already have a 'warm green' one... I'm annoyed. Of course, my wallet is happier as a result.
