    merino wool bras, shirts

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    I've got 2 i/o bio merino wool sports bras size medium with tags - I should have bought the small size. $15 each + shipping. I think these are a little bit softer than the ibex sports bras:


    smartwool x-small orange t shirt, worn a couple of times: $15 + shipping:


    smartwool 3/4 sleeves orange or blue shirts - $20 each + shipping. I didn't like the 3/4 sleeve length, so they might have been worn a few times. these are probably x-smalls but may be small.

    hey

    Two q's for you:

    Have you worn the merino bra in summer type weather & would it be ok for 30C+?

    In terms of sizing, how different are the sports bras to say Moving comfort??? I think the medium might fit but am lost on sizing

    Thanks!

    How long are the smartwool shirts? I think I remember you as being one of the really petite people, right? Are they the right length for you? That orange t-shirt looks so cute!

    Size note, FWIW - I have that short sleeve SW top, and it runs smaller than later model SW tops. The length is also on the short side.

    Alright, the 2 3/4 length shirts are 23 inches from the bottom of the collar to the bottom of the shirt in back (there's like 3/4 of an inch of collar that sticks up above). Those are both xsmalls and the blue one is spoken for.

    1 purple bra Zen wants to stop by and try on, the other one is Bicyclista's if she wants it. I think Zen might find it loose if I do.

    As for wool bras in the heat - I've been wearing my ibex ones all summer long and we were between 95-105 humid degrees this summer. I also really like them in the fall/winter because they stay warm while wet with sweat, so I don't get the same soggy cold chill that I do off my synthetic or patagonia capilene sports bras after a ride.

    As for moving comfort, I only have some small ones (if anyone would be interested in buying moving comfort size small sport bras which I maybe wore once or twice before deciding they were too tight, I have 3 of those) - it looks like the purple it about an inch bigger is circumference than the moving comfort size small bras at the bottom.

    Alright - I should confess that there is this huge mound of stuff in the middle of my living room that I decided I was going to ebay, but this is quicker and has less fees:

    Size small grey & black smartwool t shirt. I can't remember why i don't wear this, but it has to do with not being as skinny as I used to. $15 + shipping:



    Size x-small arc'teryx merino wool t shirt - $20 + shipping:



    I have 3 different icebreaker tornado t shirts, all x-small - these are heavier weight than the other wool shirts here, so $25 + shipping. I'm pretty sure I haven't worn them. One's black, one's two toned orange, one's grey & orange. The two toned orange I can't find the picture I took for some reason:

    Any of these sports bras left? My sister has acne problems from her current ones and your post made me think she should try wool instead.

    (I should've asked before you shipped the others!)

    I've been a flake and still haven't caught up with Zen to let her try the last one on.

    Oh. I guess I shoulda warned you that the luggage in here is in quarantine in case it has bed bugs. And everything in there has sting bugs hiding in it. And there's a ground hog and a couple rabbits living underneath. I think I killed all the hornets.

    I don't see a blue shirt with red shoulders. Someone bought the blue shirt with grey shoulders.

    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.
