One pair of Ibex cycling shorts is looking for a new home. They have moved from Redhodie to me, but sadly there is something about the pad that my body does NOT like - it itches (I did wash them several times)

These are nice shorts and they will be nice for early spring biking for someone; they would also be nice under tights. They are free for the asking, all I ask is postage reimbursement.

I'll take them Catrin. I'll PM you my info.

Happily, I sold two more tops today to another TE member.
That leaves just the pair of brown Shaks and the ronge SW hoody- see link in previous posts if interested. Thanks!

I'm so looking forward to getting in my veggie garden again and starting to clean up and dig while the chilly air filters through my nice cozy wool and the sun is on my face.
....but I have to wait several more weeks- it's still frozen solid and still covered with ice and snow!

The Ibex shorts have found a new home

Pity that I couldn't wear them. I imagine that all of their chamois are from the same material so this probably means I just can't wear their cycling shorts at all...

Oh well, they have other things that I can try. I note that Smartwool has bib shorts, and the chamois is covered with Smartwool as well. I don't know about that... Has anyone here tried them? I just noticed them at my LBS recently.

I don't like the thought of a wool chamois... although I do wear the Ibex boy shorts under my tights when I hike, nordic ski, or winter run. But a wool chamois seems, ah, thicker and makes me itch thinking about it coming in contact with my delicate parts.

I agree - I touched the chamois at the store and it didn't seem any thicker than the pad in my PI shorts - but the surface was different - of course. Considering the cost it would not be worth the experiment - especially since the mere thought makes me itch
