WoolWeenies Club

Kind of an unconventional use for the FT dress, but I woke up for my group run this morning and it was 9F...and snowing. And my thermal tights and my normal cold-weather running tops were in the laundry. So I pulled on my CW-X tights with a pair of compression shorts over them (holds them up, and keeps my bum warm) and then wore the dress on top with a vest over it (and my happy wool i/o bio sports bra). Perfect amount of layers to keep me warm but not overheat! And for once, my quads weren't freezing! Plus it looked cute Next time I run a winter race I am definitely wearing this dress.

I love my I/O bio merino sports bra. Fits better than my ibex and they are having a sale with coupon code REVOLT50 on their website. Just ordered another sports bra, crib shirt, track pants. http://www.io-merino.com/ The coupon is good until Feb 15.

Wow, I am NOT a fan of their new website. Can't find lengths on the pants anywhere, and their size chart is absurd. Really, a 37 in chest and a 31 in waist for a women's XS? (which, coincidentally, is the same size as a mens' small?!?!) Something must be lost in translation.

P.S. Thanks for the coupon though!!

P.S.S. what's the inseam on the track pants? Do you know?

And who exactly are these fragile anorexic teenagers in unnatural angular poses?
No way would I EVER buy from these guys!

I mean, really:

[Catrin]

I concur, no way would I buy from them. What makes them think this is a good way to advertise?

[jessmarimba]

Well, they took off the photo of the girl modeling something - scarf? underwear? covering her boobs with just her hands.

I buy from them because their clothes fit me, unlike ibex/icebreaker/smartwool. Some of us can't be picky if we want to be warm.

That picture is unfortunate (is it the shirt she's selling?). I checked the website and clearly,I am not part of their intended demographic. I'll stick with Ibex, Patagonia, and Icebreaker.

I agree, the website leaves a lot to be desired. Not sure on the inseams, I only know that the sport bra I bought from them (or S&C, perhaps) a couple of years ago is a small, so that's what I ordered. I'll let you know my thoughts on the sizing when I get them!

Received my I/O merino items in 4 days from Australia (faster than getting stuff from California). Very happy with the bra, crib shirt, track pants. The inseam on the small track pants is 31 1/2 inches. I'll need to do a little trimming, as usual, but they are wicked comfy! The crib shirt is lightweight, snug comfy fit for a base layer.

Eek! Glad I didn't get them! I need about a 33-34 to not look like I'm wearing high waters.

I actually won the pocket hoody on ebay right when the coupon code came up, and I love it. Not great for tech stuff (no thumbholes, pockets wouldn't work to tuck it in for snowboarding or anything) but good for hiking and being warm at work!

Hard to even comprehend wool in this heat, but I stopped at the LRS today and got sucked into their sale rack. Picked up an ibex U-sixty tee and Icebreaker Cascade hood dirt cheap. I was so excited I forgot to ask for our running club discount on my shoes.

I´m new to wool, but already love wearing it on my daily commutes and when I'm home and cold after a long days work

I bought 2 Devold long underpants, 2 different Devold jerseys (one to autumn, one to winter) and nice womens boxers, also Devold And some different Icebreaker wool socks and a wool Buff

Do you wash your wool gear with a wool detergent with lanolin sometimes? I hand wash my gear with special fine washing detergent. But there aren't any lanolin in it, nor other wool "protection". My gear was quite expensive and I expect long lifetime by any means

Do you air your wool clothes often? Or do you wash it frequently?

I'm unfortunately one of thoose people, who perspire a great deal, no matter what shape I'm in or how long I bike. I used my wool jersey for 3-4 daily roundtrips (10 mile each) and then the wool jersey started to stink a bit. I hope that the stink will vanish in the wash. I got high hopes already

I hate hate hate synthetic clothes because of the stink
