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:

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.

My DH bought his first Shak in the orange color, last March, when we were in Vermont. Since it was half off, the color didn't seem to bother him!
Orange actually looks good on me, but I don't have any clothing in that color right now, except a Hind cycling hoodie that I won't give up, even though it is grease stained.

I feel exactly the same way. Endless browns, murky greens, muddy purples and maroons...enough already! I have no reason to buy stuff that looks almost the same as what I've had (and not been crazy about) for 2 years already. Dull. Where are the happy colors? I keep wishing for tomato, emerald or celery, sky blue, pumpkin, mango....

There, that felt good.

I think they're making a little progress, actually.

Susan - you are right. They do have some good colors. I should have more clear in my whining...they need to do the full zip shak in better colors!! I would gladly pay full price for a full zip shak in that turquoise...it's beautiful!

Best start saving your egg money then, because in S10 there's a full zip shak in a gorgeous crystal blue. Slightly different from the turquoise, but really lovely.
