Comments about Ibex Woolies Sleeveless:
I run in this mostly, but on rest days I'll wear it around the house while doing physical therapy on my knee. Great fit, fast drying, cool in the summer (we'll see how it is in the winter), and looks good.

Comments about Ibex Woolies Sleeveless:
I love this as a multi-use baselayer. I work for a bicycle touring company, and am travelling a good portion of the year. This top packs small, and is super warm and comfortable. It works perfectly under a jersey to keep warm on a cool ride, while also keeping you warm wherever you find yourself in cooler weather. Best of all, it doesn't get that funk that synthetics do, and you can wear it several times before washing.

Comments about Ibex Woolies Sleeveless:
I am a transit operator working all hours of the day and night over the course of every month -- this keeps me comfortable early morning to late nights -- fall, winter, spring and most of the summer; it also extends the use of uniform shirts to more than one work period/day. I had the mock shirt for two years -- this one is even better. It is easy to get on and off and never shows the wear.

Comments about Ibex Woolies Sleeveless:
My chest measures 40", which would indicate I am a medium, but In previous experience with Ibex being very tight, I decided to go with a large. Unfortunately, the fit of the size large is uncomfortably tight. I am tall and thin, used to wearing tight cycling clothing, and my chest measurement is the largest part of my torso, so I was surprised by another reviewer's mention of wearing smaller than his usual size in Ibex layers. I thought It would be helpful to share my contrasting experience. I am going to try the XL, which I imagine will fit just right.

Comments about Ibex Woolies Sleeveless:
I got the shortsleeve version of the Woolie. I bike primarily for transportation -- more than I drive. In varying weather. Did you ever want a magic jersey that can be warm when it needs it and cool when it needs it? This is it. Unlike synthetic jerseys which don't keep you warm, this thing is just right when you stop moving and need to cool off; but when you are going it breathes just right too and keeps you nice and warm. The stiching and quality seem top notch, plus it looks cool too.

Comments about Ibex Woolies Sleeveless:
I've used the woolies long sleeve before in a wide range of conditions for many years - but my experience with the sleeveless woolie today bears retelling. It's Hurricane Kyle Weekend here in New England - pounding rain, wind etc and I'm going stir crazy inside. So I suit up for a few hours out on the bike. Ibex woolie sleeveless base layer, a short sleeve cycling jersey, armwarmers, an old transparent cheapo rain jacket with the arms cut off (still some of the best and cheapest wet weather protection available), bib shorts and loads of embrocation. Through puddles, driving rain, regular (Flemish) miserable conditions. Over 3+ hours it rained nonstop and I was soaked, but my core temperature was perfectly regulated - not too hot, not too cold. Got home, peeled off all my sodden outer layers but threw on a pair of gym shorts and kept the woolie on as I puttered around the house doing errands. It was d still felt comfortable, and had done a marvelous job getting dampness out to the outer layers...and did not stink. Amazing And oh yeah, black is the new grey...
Read the sizing notes carefully and follow them - I'm 5'11", 145 lbs, 38R suit size...usually a medium, but based on the specs, size S in all my Ibex base layer/mid layer/outer layer stuff is appropriate/perfect.
