Daniel-

I have a pair of Ibex bike shorts that I bought used, and have used heavily
myself for the past 18 months.  The elastic waist still has the same
tension (just right, actually) as the day I received them.

I ordered the El Fito full tights and the 3/4 tights.  Thanks for the
heads-up, list!

Got my order yesterday 3/4 medium fits me perfectly.  5'8" 155 31-32" 
waist,  Surprised no drawstring. Usually a bib fan. How does the elastic 
waist band hold up over time, does it start drooping after a couple of 
years?

If someone wants to take the LARGE full length off my hands, $65 shipped - 
save yourself the shipping cost. They're a bit loose on me, I should have 
gone with the Medium..

Just ordered the 3/4 El Fito. I own an older pair that have seen many mIles and 
held up well. Highly recommended for colder climates.

Just ordered two pairs, already have two pairs. Good for 9 mile commute as well 
as600k. Machine wash with wool soap, low water temp, air dry and no change in 
fit. Perfect for foggy  Bay Area weather!  I'm 5'8" weight 135 lbs female with 
longish legs slim hips, ladies medium works for me.

Thanks for the heads up on this.  I had looked both the long and the 3/4 
tights a number of times but just never went through with ordering them.  I 
got 2 pairs of each type so I should be set!

I am 5' 10" 153 with a 30" waist and can do either a small or medium. Actually 
prefer the small. Not a fan of the current  MUSA cut - too loose for me.

I wash with ecover and dry flat. So far they haven't shrunk from what I can 
tell. I like the ease of movement with the larger sizes.

It is funny because, as small a person as I am I don't see how anyone fits 
into a small or medium size bike short.  Even when I first started cycling 
and bought spandex shorts, I wore L and XL.

I could see a 135lb. 5'7" person in a M size, but I don't get the small 
sizes. Maybe bike clothes are racer sized?

FYI, this stuff should not shrink unless you really try to. I have lots of 
Ibex and it's all pre-shrunk. I believe that the dryer lowers the life-span 
of the garments, but does not shrink them.

[RBW] Re: Price drop on El Fito at Ibex

[Lungimsam]

Do not walk, but run to your computer and get them while you can. I love 
their tights and 3/4 tights. So comfortable and soft and *unrestricted* 
movement.

Did all my distance riding in them during the last year. Pads are 
fantastic, too. But I guess that is personal.

I got them on sale, too, the 3/4 last year and the full tights this year. I 
buy *way* up for fear of shrinkage. But no shrinkage yet. Wash cold, lay 
flat to dry.

I am 5'8" max. and 170 lbs. and I have the XXL 3/4 and the XL full length 
fito. Both fit great and have been wonderful on rides up to 130 miles. 
Haven't ridden them further than that. A little baggy in the seat on the 
XXL 3/4 while walking. But they were fantastic on the bike on centuries and 
the 130 mile ride. Everything stays in place. Don't be afraid to buy up a 
size.

Re: [RBW] Re: Price drop on El Fito at Ibex

[Dan McNamara]

Yes. The pad is not too bad. 

Looks like the 3/4 "knickers" are still available in all sizes. Those are my 
personal favs. At $50 they are a great deal with or without pad. 

Not an ibex employee. Just love wool.
