WoolWeenies Club

Anybody own a pair of these? Do they look like underwear, or can they really be worn on their own? Do they ride up?

I tried to love them. I really wanted to love them.

I didn't.

Thought I'd written a review, but I guess I didn't. They smell funny for a couple months (preservative from the factory in Turkey?). They ride up terribly for a year or so, then as soon as that stops they develop holes.

Mine are sitting on a shelf waiting for me to fix a hole or two. They've been sitting for 6 or 7 months now.

Next time I'm ordering the wool shorts from Joneswares. http://www.joneswares.com/item/Women..._Short/317/c71 I'm not gonna bother giving the Ibex Runner a second chance.

(oh, and the Ibex don't look like underwear, and you can wear them as shorts, though they aren't nearly as nice looking as the no-longer-made Ibex Roaster.)

Oooh, look at what's available for 60% off at 6pm.com...

and in my size, too. If it shrinks in 5 years, it's still worth it!

And this: http://www.6pm.com/icebreaker-exp-32...uest-zip-black

Oooh: http://www.6pm.com/icebreaker-original-zip-brazil

I'm thinking of something heavier than the Ibex woolies, but I would consider this: http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodIB_0123_0.html

Still looking for heavier, but looking here too: http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodSW_15213.html

Picky, picky me. I want made in the US, dropped tail, high neck, more than 8 inch zip, extra long sleeves, fairly substantial weight (230g+), black, raglan sleeves, no decorative stitching, and less than $100. Whew!

I ended up buying the Icebreaker Tornado. The price was too good to pass up.
