Anyone have the Patagonia merino 4 classic hoody? So pricy (even on clearance!) ...but it looks so cute and I'm freezing right now. Reviews?

I broke out my ibex long trail sweater today & my icebreaker jetter.

I am all swaddled in wooly goodness.

Don't have the hoody but I have a couple of the merino 4 pieces (zip t-neck and crew). Love them, very warm, feel good against the skin. You cannot go wrong w/Patagonia -- excellent investment, high quality, and you'll have it for YEARS (so long as you care for it properly).

I received my Ibex Ms Indie LS Jersey today. I'm surprised it's so thin; I expected it to be thicker. It's like tee-shirt fabric, although it's Merino and quite soft.

If any of you have this jersey, I'd be interested to know how you like it. I'm not sure I'm going to keep it. I just thought it would be thicker, but perhaps it's okay as it is.

I have an ibex cycling jersey, I don't remember which one - but it'll be similar weight to the one you got.

I love it. I wear it hiking as well as biking - it's warm, yet still breathable enough or lets just enough wind that as I'm heating up with activity that I stay comfortable temp wise. Put a wind jacket over it and I'm quite fine.

I have 2 Ibex Razzels in excellent condition, one is green and and one is maroon (both size S). Never been in the dryer, no visible signs of wear. I can photograph them if you like, here are the current models: http://www.ibexwear.com/shop/product.../womens-razzel

They look very nice as dressy tops, but I would prefer to have 2 black zip-T neck Zephers instead (pure black, no piping) (also in womens size S).

PM me if you are interested in a trade.

I just ordered my first wool purchase for the season - a nice Ibex wool balaclava. I took advantage of the 20% sale at TE this week to get something that I knew I would need.

Pity they didn't have this LAST week when I got my gloves from them

After finally getting home last night on Seattle's icy streets (we're having a winter snow storm), I check my mail, and there's a box. I've been ordering stuff, and figured it was something I had ordered. Nope, my sister sent me a presie! Of all the appropriate days to get wool socks, yesterday was one of them - especially since I was wearing dress shoes with my wool slacks. Was really happy I didn't have to walk home.

So today I'm wearing one of my new pairs of wool socks - little sister sent two pair as a "house / toe warming" present. And I'm staying home, telecommuting.

My parents just bought my husband the Indie LS jersery in the mens version as an early Christmas present. I was also a little surprised at how thin it was...but it's really good looking.

I've bought a couple of items from Ibex that when I first got them, I was worried they were too thin. I've kept them all and many of them are now my favorite tops. They may not fit into my wardrobe like I'd originally intended, but they ended up being even more useful than I had expected.

one of the ibex pieces i recently bought was a cherry red with orange highlights long sleeve teeshirt. it's very light weight. I've taken to wearing it under short-sleeved blouses that I never wore this time of year before. A nice wardrobe change!

Thanks, I'll keep it. I ordered the men's because the colors in the women's were terrible. I got red, men's small, and it fits fine. Glad to have now joined the Ibex ranks.

I bought a couple Ibex indie long sleeves about 3 yrs ago, and found them to feel too itchy- never had that issue with any other ibex stuff before.
I kept them as an extra layer, but I'm not a fan of the Indies. I found the Kate was really SOFT, but the same thickness.

Just back from my LBS with an impulse purchase of a pair of Smartwool arm warmers. So far I've only just tried them on in the car so I have no idea if they'll stay up in use or wear well or insulate without itching. But they are so dang cute that they make me smile.

Also, every time I go to that store I'm reminded that I really should go to that store more often.
