And Ibex may have made the terrible mistake of DISCONTINUING the women's Roaster Boxer, but Joneswares has what I believe will make a fine replacement (and cheaper, and made in the USA)

If it is as comfy as the Roaster Boxer, and doesn't bust out in holes like the Ibex Balance Runner, I will be a happy camper!

Very interesting. I'm still pissed about the Roasters, and will be wearing mine until they die.

I'm confused. Joneswear? I thought you were lusting after the wool on the Riv site. I can't keep up with which wool this woman wants to wear

Maybe Knotted's polywoollenous?

I even wrote to Ibex about the Roasters. No luck. They said they have no intention of bringing them back and suggested I search Sierra Trading Post and BackCountry for hidden leftovers.

Did you notice that they've ditched the heavier weight long janes, too? (the ones that were the same weight as the Roasters, the remaining longies are only 150g and 230g)

However... Joneswares to the rescue! Their relaxed running tights (270g) will make fine replacements for my Roaster Long Janes when/if they wear out! http://www.joneswares.com/item/Women...Tights/310/c71

Joneswares are cheaper and made in the USA.

Someone tell Grant there IS a wool made in the USA that he could sell.

I had not noticed that! I wasn't quite as sad about that one, but they'd better not discontinue the 3/4 Long Janes. Those are, hands down, my favorite long underwear bottoms. Damn, this makes me want to run out right now and get some to hoard.

I wonder if they'll fit over my liner shorts, under my windpants?

they should, patagonia wool3's not all that thick... but it depends on how much room you have under your wind pants.

it's probably comparable to smartwool's midweight, if you know how thick that is

[blackhillsbiker]

I think at that price I'm gonna chance it. After all, if not for cycling, there's plenty of other times when I have wished for another layer, and I love wool!

ugh.

You showed me on sale patagonia.

I love their organic cotton among stuff.

It's the same (230g) as Ibex's "zephyr" fabric. Nice midweight. Ohhhh, the temptation! And so cheap, too!

(luckily they don't have any left in my size... whew!)

If you go to cashback by bing.com, they give 5% for 6pm.com.

It may take like 2 months to get the 5% back, but it's 5% still

The heavyweight 3/4 are gone, like the boxers and the long janes.

The midweight "zephyr" is available, http://www.ibexwear.com/shop/product...ter-long-janes
