Paddling in Ibex

Our friend, and Ibex fanatic Reid takes the new die cut sticker and his woolies crew out for a paddle.
Word is he pulled out of the hole, was not chundered, and both sticker and woolies performed stellar.

Ibex Woolies Zip T Review (it doesn't stink)

A review on our Woolies Zip T   From Backpacker.com:

"...When faced with the stink test, the Ibex tested even better than other wools we've tried. After that ski trip, a 7-mile snowshoe, and two or three days worth of cold-day jogs, the Woolie [sic]  absorbed a surprisingly small amount of my potent man-musk.." READ MORE

Renzo Beanie ( & More Vermont 50)

The Renzo Beanie is a new addition to Ibex accessories this season, it's a new spin on your standard wool hat,  made with super soft merino knit, it's striped designed adds some style.  The Renzo was spotted on the course of the Vermont 50, and as you can see it got the job done, holding up to the elements and the grueling race.

Here is Renzo after it's owner "AZ", A. Zane Wenzel, who was riding in the race with the Horst-Benidorm-Property Research Corp. Cycling Team, had taken the spill. The photo was taken by Scott Livingston, and you can see more photos from the Vermont 50 on his website and blog. Check them out, Scott is an Ibex fan and has been supporting the Vermont 50 for the last 9 years (he even met his wife there!)

Chico Gino gives Ibex some love

Chico Gino, an avid cyclist, friend of Ibex and a product reviewer located in Chico, CA, shared his love for his Arrivee Bib Shorts  among his other Ibex Cycling Pieces in a review posted on his blog.

Here is an excerpt from his review

"Wool bib? I've never owned a bib, but I'm now sold on bibs now for certain types of riding. I sported this thing all spring and summer in Chico for all sorts of riding on and off road. In case you don't know, summer in Chico means HOT HOT HEAT, and I don't deal well with heat. The Arrivee bib never feels uncomfortable, and when it's super hot, just dribble some water down the mesh on your back and poof: instant air conditioning..."

Freebird?

Nope, but this is an amazing piece nonetheless
Our new Freestar full zip is made from our legendary Shak fabric, but this one is built for speed.
Cut a little longer in the sleeve so you can sport the thumb holes, leave the gloves at home when you go for your morning run. Made for both men and women, get yours now.

Echo in the 'dacks

Friends of Ibex sent this in, I think we have a new catalog shot for next season!
Thanks Claire!

On and on we go about the benefits of wool - one of them of course being that it's sustainable fiber - well now others our doing our dirty work for us!

The Ibex Fish T was reviewed by Natural Health magazine in their May 2008 issue and picked as one of their "healthy tees". We couldn't be happier with the declaration!
