Bought myself a new jacket.
You can read about it here: http://www.ibexwear.com/F05/View_Pr.../F05/093_1229.jpg&Category=1030&CategoryLine=
Mine is the color shown above, which is last year's color.
Got it at Sierra Trading Post for like $115.
This thing is like snuggling into a warm blanket. It's a large, and I'm usually a Med, but it has an athletic cut so it's a perfect fit for me.
Nice Loden wool takes a beating, keeps you dry and cool when excercising, yet keeps you warm when standing around in the cold. Also sheds all but the heaviest rain.
The 2 full length zippers provide a clear channel to a mesh backing for maximum ventilation during heavy exercise. Plus, they double as huge storage pockets. Finishing on the jacket is superb. No excess thread at the end of stitches, strong well designed hang loop, high class zipper pulls, beautiful color, and the all important Ibex logo stitched into the wool between the shoulder blades.
It's very simply styled (which I love), yet elegant. I've previously bought several Ibex bicycling jerseys and a mid weight half zip mock turtleneck made of Merino Wool which are to die for. Their stuff is expensive, but worth it. I'll only buy through their outlet shop, or places like Sierra who give a heavy discount.
I highly recommend all of Ibex's stuff. Real grade A clothing all the way.
