Ibex Men's Shak Jersey: $124.95

BUY HERE Ibex Men's Shak Jersey

Price:
$124.95

Cut close with a flat lock seam construction for comfortable layering, the Ibex Shak Jersey is a natural alternative to polyester middle layers, featuring the right balance of moisture-wicking density for skiing, hiking and running in cold weather conditions. Significantly longer than most zippered pullovers, the Shak's front zipper extends halfway down the front of the jersey, so you enjoy more ventilation potential than most middle layers, especially if you're wearing it over a light silk shirt. The itch-free Merino wool knit holds the dye at the core of each fiber, so you won't have to hassle with color bleeds or fading.

warm and beautiful. - slightly heayier then their base layer but so much nicer than any fleese.

Comfortable but poor color - This is relatively heavy weight shirt with quite a large fit. It is comfortable and warm. The disappointing aspect of this shirt is that the color in my case Red Pepper turned out to be a washed out version of the nice deep red on the web site. I can't comment on the other colors but if I hadn't needed a shirt quickly I would have sent it back.

Heavy Duty - This heavy wool option by ibex delivers. I haven't noticed much itch. I use it running in the late fall and as a mid layer during the winter. The Shak is also nice enough to wear out for an evening on the town. Some of the other benefits are: durable does not hold on to odors like capilene/poly stylish.

very high-quality garment. wool rocks. - This is an extremely high-quality garment that is well constructed with very comfortable wool. It's machine washable too. It's a perfect shirt to wear as an outer layer for cross country skiing or snowshoeing in good weather. It's also a great mid-layer under a shell for alpine skiing or in bad weather. The wool breathes really well and accomodates a range of temperatures.

Worth Every Penny - I really enjoy ibex clothing. They definately take their time in the construction of their garments. The material on the shak will hold up forever. Its very warm and breatable and the sleeve length is perfect especially if you have longer arms. It feels good to wear and has many different applications from casual wear around the house to snowboarding and skiing in the backcountry.

Great Quality - Natural fibers are the way to go for warmth and comfort coupled with the ability to very nearly eliminate body odor it is increasingly what I reach for. The Shak is a high quality midlayer that will last for many years making it not only user friendly but a wise investment. Sizing is correct.

Buy it! - This is a piece that can do almost anything you ask in complete comfort and in temperature ranges that flat out defeated my synthetic mid-layers. As with all Ibex garments (and I own a few) the quality is top notch the function matches the quality and the only two potential downsides to this and all quality wool pieces is weight and price; they weigh half again as much as similar synthetic pieces and due to the relatively low production numbers tend to cost more. All in all a shirt that a buyer won't be disappointed with.

Great enough to re-buy - A month after my last post a seven-day backpacking trip through Big Bend NP saw day and night usage of my Shak. In 30 degrees under my Icefall jacket to 70 degrees alone under my pack the Shak made me marvel at its versatility utter comfort and ultimate value. Pricey at $125 until one realizes the huge variety of uses and build quality to ensure it lasts for years...even by mountain lions. The last evening of that trip I put the Shak and my hiking pants on nearby creosote bushes to air out as another norther blasted in with 50+ mph winds gusting down-canyon through our camp. I climbed out of the tent under a full moon to retrieve pants and Shak and could only find the pants. The next morning we searched for 200 yards in all directions for the jersey but could only find a well-worn path right through camp going to a large hole in the base of a cliff about 75 yards away. We could only assume the lion that was sure to be the resident had picked the shirt up on her way through our camp and was using it for padding for (I hope) her cub(s). I missed the shirt so much I contacted Ibex for another which immediately became my favorite hiking/camping/run around shirt in the closet. It might become yours as well. Viva la natural fibers! Viva Ibex!

built to last - the quality is the highest wash and wears well.looks good i wish i had this when i was a nyc fireman also when kayaking

great style color fit and function - I bought this for my husband for Christmas. He loves wool tops for his mountain biking and skate-skiing outdoor activities because they span a wide temperature range with great comfort. I got this model because of the drop in the back making it especially good for biking. Mike is tall and takes a large to accommodate his long arms. This large fits perfectly without the (usual) extra fabric around the waist. The raglan sleeves help it fit so well and add a lot of style to the shirt. I got the green and I love the way he looks in it. As long as none of the other women notice.... ; )

Arc'teryx Men's Maverick AR Jacket: $139.97

Thu, 03 Jan 2008 10:47:34 MST





BUY HERE Arc'teryx Men's Maverick AR Jacket

Price:
$174.95

Ideal insulating outerwear for hiking and climbing on cool, calm days, this Arc'teryx Maverick AR Jacket has a streamlined profile that easily layers beneath your skiing and mountaineering shells without jamming up your mobility with extra fabric. Like the Arc'teryx Maverick SV Jacket, this one uses a slimmed-down gusseted underarm sleeve construction to enhance your range of motion. Beneath the front zipper is a wind flap to minimize breeze penetration on blustery days, but the Maverick AR Jacket lacks the same wind resistance as the SV--although you shave at least six ounces off on the overall garment weight. This is a great technical front zip jacket for cool dry conditions and it's indispensable when paired with a waterproof shell.

Great fit ideal for layering; does shed rain - This fleece jacket is comparable to the Patagonia Light Weight R4. But the fleece exterior is more rugged (nailhead polartech). It is not windproof. From my experience if you wear a large in arc'teryx then buy a large...it is NOT cut ultra trim at all. I wore this jacket a few days ago and got caught in the rain...not a heavy rain but not a light mist either. The jacket does shed the rain...it beads up under a light rain...and that is a plus. If you can get this jacket on sale and if you want a layering piece but not as warm as a Maverick SV then this is a very good bet. By construction this jacket should last 10 years...though pay note: the "lifetime" warranty is the standard "reasonable" lifetime warranty of the jacket...not your lifetime!

Awesome Jacket - I purchased this jacket recently after seeing it in the store but without trying it on. Figured what the hell Altrec has pretty flexible return policy. It is warm lightweight & unlike ordinary fleece resists pilling which is a plus. In addition the seams are flat and it has two handwarmer pockets. Warm enough for lining inside jacket and waterproof enough as outer layer too. Kind of on the expensive side but that's probably the only negative. Would recommend. Shop around some colors are cheaper than others.

AR=all around indeed - I bought this jacket for a friend who needs something that he can wear all the time no matter what he ends up doing. This is a great jacket for layering hiking cross-country skiing and it even looks nice enough to wear to dinner. It has a great texture not like a normal fleece that might "pill" and is cut with the always dependable Arc Teryx quality.

Nice Jacket - Nice and light and a great insulator.

As always you can't get go wrong with Arc'teryx - Nice cut perfect Polartec Material. Workmanship is awesome.

Nice jacket - My wife really like it. Nice color and design.

warm - Arc'teryx: Men's Maverick AR Jacket is Warm. This Jacket is consist of 100% polyester Polartec Nailhead textured fabric with DWR finished. Good for any winter climbing hiking and mountaineering.

nice jacket - Agree with the other comments. Material is thinnner and lighter than classic polartec 200 but just as warm. However a few washes will cause it to pill a little bit which may be of concern since there is less material to begin with.

Very good for layering - The jacket works well as a second layer under a windproof shell. It does not "ride up" the abdomen when you are active nor does it feel bulky. The jacket is extremely comfortable and looks great. It is not windproof.

Caution - Pilling is a major Issue with this Jacket - Bought one and it looked great and worked perfect. It still worked perfect three months in but didn't look very nice. The jacket pilled everywhere that it regularly rubbed => elbows under the forearm and lower back. I found three of them at an REI used gear sale for the same reason.
