Sugoi Firewall tights -- how low can you go??

[Catrin]

I LOVE my PI Amfibs - very warm, great wind-blockers as well. Mine don't have a chamois - is there a local source where you could try them on to see how they fit?

You know, generally Ibex bottoms don't fit me that well. They are made for tall people with boyish figures (I once tried on a pair at the Arcadian Shop in Lenox, MA while on a TE field trip. That had me laughing quite hard, as I couldn't get them over my knees. And they were a size bigger than I normally wear). The Ibex pants I have are old; bought in 2005 for me by DH. Probably ordered from STP. THe elastic is totally out of the waist and they are getting pilly. But, I don't think these are made anymore.

Try the Amfibs. They're very warm and have the nice windblock material, and are reasonably water-resistant. It seems like PI changes the cut on their shorts a little bit every year, so it might be worth trying them on.

I find the PI tights fit different from the shorts, but that might just be me. I've an odd shape for a woman...
