Ibex Men's Hooded Indie

Very nice top
This top fits snug, which is perfect if you wear a shell on top. I use mine for running and have found it to perform better than synthetics. The quality is great. It's warm for material that would seem otherwise. It's expensive, but you will get quality and comfort in return - and the absence of synthetic smell.

Hoodie that delivers!
I purchased the Ibex hoodie to wear in cool and warming weather while bike riding in the early morning hours, and it has been a pleasant surprise! The soft merino wool fits well with a tight fitting t-shirt underneath, and the 1/4 zip allows for good temperature control when needed. Although the wool is thin, it is surprisingly durable and has withstood daily wear. The wicking properties are excellent, and I much prefer wool to the synthetic "plastic" techno-wear I have for the same purposes. Excellent quality from Ibex is no surprise, as I have several durable products from this same manufacturer.

Greatest Hoodie of all time
I finally have found the piece of clothing that I was always looking for. A hooded merino wool with thumbholes and a half zip. I use this everywhere from 70 degree bike rides to 40 degree trail runs by itself, and then use as a base for anything cooler than that. This thing does it all, and it is amazing the temperature variation that this thing can be used in. For ultra cold, pull up the hood, zip the zip all the way up and use the thumbholes, and for every 5 degrees warmer, just adjust. The quality is top notch, as I have worn it 40 or 50 times and only washed it a couple of times and never has it smelt bad nor does it look much different than the first day I got it. I also have the I/O hoodie which has the same great qualities, but is even more snug fitting. Since I tend to carry a very extra lbs over the winter, I like the more loose fitting of the Indie more. But both are incredibly nice shirts, that I expect to have many more years in the future.
