Ibex Merino Wool Top
Written by Urban Sherp on April 13th, 2009
Who: Ibex; Woodstock, Vermont
What: Men’s Midlayer Sport Shak Merino Wool Top
Where: Ibex, on sale for $89.00, regular $140 (still worth the price)
When: Now, their moving sale won’t last long, get yours while supplies last!
Why: All of Ibex’s apparel is made from the finest wool which also happens to be a renewable resource. How can you even describe wool that is this incredibly silky soft and yetwith thickness, a heft to it. You just want to wrap yourself in it. Great for layering, lounging, hiking and biking. It is made of merino wool, a naturally wicking fiber, from what has got to be the happiest sheep on the planet. They have free range over the hills and mountains of New Zealand and get regular free crewcuts. Not too shabby.

Ibex is an incredibly green company (their office in Vermont is powered by methane) and they support all sorts of green initiatives. They are a Zque accredited operation which means that their wool has been deemed “ethical wool” taking into account the product quality, animal health and welfare, environmental, economic and social values.

I really like this…it looks comfy and would be warm for sure. Wonder if they come in big/tall sizes?
