Gear Review - Bike Shorts: Ibex Merino Wool 

Check out the latest great Ibex review, this one by Monilee of The Adventure Continues, brought to you by Sammamish Valley Cycles:

Ibex El Fito knickers:

I wasn't disappointed.... I tested these shorts in three conditions: wet and windy, dry and warm (not hot, warm), and indoor riding. I figure this gives me good insight into what these shorts are and are not capable of. Here is the deal (I've rated it out of 10)

Wicking: 8.5
Temperature regulation: 9.5
Bum comfort: 8.25
Other features: 10

Summary: If you are looking for a new pair of shorts to transition from winter into spring, look no further! Wool gets 2 thumbs up in my book - not only is it supurb for performance, it is environmentally friendly too!
