The Ibex Boucele is on sale. Anyone have one and what is the difference from their other pieces?

I don't have any Ibex boucle pieces, but the Ibex boucle description says:

Boucle must be French for “this much indulgence can’t possibly be legal.” This ultra-cozy, smooth-on-the-inside, looped-on-the-outside double-knit merino provides superior warmth retention and the softest exterior you’ve ever felt.

Sounds kind of thick but soft. NZ Merino wool, of course.

Can you please post a link to the sale? thanks!

My boyfriend bought me a Warmfront chest warmer for Christmas when he was in Colorado over the holidays. I thought it was a little ridiculous, but I love LOVE L-O-V-E it!!!!

After reading this thread, I thought it would help a lot of us...

Well, I haven't removed my shak since I 'tried it on' (except to cut off the tags and sleep). I thought I couldn't wear wool, allergic, but this stuff is different. Today was a drizzling chilly day for south texas (40s rain) and it kept me toasty warm outside with just a columbia shell, and took the bite out of the dampness indoors too. So what did I do tonite? I ordered the "organic sweater" on sale at the ibex site. This time I went with a M to layer over my heavier cotton ribbed turtlenecks. I also like it will go with my black and charcoal gray wool pants, and jeans. I thought I didn't need this stuff, but without central heating it gets chilly in south texas. I can't believe I am spending money like this. The full zip shak is great, but a tad light and small for layering over heavy pieces. I think this piece will be very complementary. Now, I am ready for my feb. trip to the chilly east coast!!

I finally got around to trying on my Ibex loose tights ...and I swear, I don't have a single piece from Ibex that I haven't "tried on" and then worn all day for days in a row.

These are awesome. I have a hard time with pants...cause I am pretty curvy and gotta a BIG butt...and it ain't an image problem..it's a big butt...and these look pretty good on me...even the tight part of loose tights.

comfort? a given. nice weight. soft, but substantial enough to not be flimsy.

i have to shorten them...i've been wearing them rolled up...but what luxury! what joy! it is to have been turned on to this company!!!

Wow! Wabi warns of 3 inches of shrinkage! Methinks they should be shrinking the fabric before sewing it.

Or we shrink after buying it?

Picked up an Ibex Pingo to replace a ~9 year old Cirque Jacket. Still LOVE the Cirque for the softness/noncrunchiness/warmth factor, but the Pingo has some distinct benefits. First- I can't believe someone actually made a jacket that fits my body ie short torso, LONNNNNGGG arms (yes, I'm a monkey, my reach is 2.5 inches taller than my height). The Pingo is a little stiffer/crunchier, but better water and wind repellency than the Cirque. Looks fantastic- very simple, sleek, well-cut. Even wore it out to a fancy dinner to meet the S.O's parents!

Ahhhhhhh.

i really like that ibex spin jersey.....but it seems to only come in S M L--
no XL.

Like it never even came in an XL.

how does it run...sizewise.??

Anyone have any experience with the Ibex biking shorts? I am in need of a pair of shorts and they look interesting.

[DebW]

I saw a pair of the Ibex bike short in person. The legs were shorter than most bike shorts. The spin jerseys are sized to fit snuggly. True to size if you like form fitting. Size up if you don't.

[madscot13]

I would actually like a shorter seam. Did you hear anything on the chamois? They look ok, or at least more than a piece of felt.
