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.

Score! Yay! I'll just have to be patient!

I read that the loose tights have a 'new fit' this year, but there was no further info. Anyone know what they changed? Everything would be a good start.

Running in the Ibex Izzi pants: not recommended!! I did that today and tripped by catching my toe on the bottom of the opposite pant leg b/c the pants are flared. At least this happened on wood chips in the park rather than on the pavement or on a rocky trail, so it was a soft landing (plus I wasn't going that fast). The pants are comfy and great for general everyday wear, but not so much for running (or am I just a klutz?).

Joneswares www.joneswares.com has several wool pants and tights that look like they'd be good for running in. I'm going to order the Trail pants (cuz I think I can wear them at work, on the bike commute, and for running) soon.
