Three pairs of wool bib shorts and a nice wool top for layering for me … Sad to 
see them go as well.

Keep watch on Sierra Trading Post. They've had plenty of Ibex closeouts in
the past (and have a handful right now), and I'm guessing when Ibex
liquidates their remaining stock, they may have more.

No one actually looks at email signatures anymore, but here goes nothing:

Looks like Ibex is closed now.
Too bad. Their cycling stuff was so comfy.
I snagged a hat though at the end.

Damn, a real shame. Their Shak Lite jersey is one of my favourite pieces of 
clothing, I never want to take that thing off. I looked back in my Ibex 
order receipts and saw that I paid $60 for that one sale a few years ago. I 
should have bought ten of them.

One of the reasons he states for closing the business is later and later 
winters. That freaked me out.

It is a shame. Here's a story with a little more info:
https://www.adventure-journal.com/2017/12/beloved-wool-brand-ibex-shutting-february/

I really liked their wool T-Shirts, they seem to last longer and have a 
more "traditional" t-shirt fit than the Icebreaker stuff. (Haven't tried 
Smartwool shirts so can't compare.) Their wool undies are great, too.

I'll have to be a dissenting voice in regards to their bike-specific stuff. 
I had a pair of their bike shorts for a bit, and didn't like them. Okay, 
the actual wool part was great, but that thick padding...ugh, so 
uncomfortable. If they used a lighter, more "trad" padding, I would have 
kept them. But then again, I realized I'm not a "bike shorts" kinda guy 
(nor bike jerseys.)

yours,
Shawn

I have enjoyed their full tights, 3/4 tights, and shorts, as well as head gear 
and baselayers. Top notch stuff. I usually size up one or two sizes.

Their 3/4 wool knickers are one of the best pieces of cycling clothing I've
ever owned.  Maybe not the type of knickers folks here are into though?

Bummed about them going out of business.

That's a shame, they have some of the best wool in the business IMHO. I 
like their light weight range of tops, they're perfect for warm SoCal 
riding year round.
