A bit heavier than I expected. Good for cold weather or relaxed pace.

Comments about Ibex Commuter Shak Full Zip:
I bought this primarily for ridding after wearing out a wool jersey from another brand.
The jersey arrived in mid March and there have been maybe 2 days since then that I haven't worn it.
I am a big fan of a full zip jersey and this doubles as a great jacket on cool days.
The pockets don't hold a lot but that is good because it would tempt me to stuff them and that is how I wore through my last jersey.
With that said the positioning of the pockets make it a little awkward. I would prefer them to be horizontal but I will live.
That is the only slightly negative comment I have, otherwise the jacket rocks!
Thanks
PJ

Comments about Ibex Commuter Shak Full Zip:
Overall, it's a great product. Fits nicely for cool rides, flattering for running errands and casual evenings. The Lava with blue stripe looks a lot better in person than in pictures. Its a very soft comfortable wool. It's only let down by the zippers. The two zip set up is finicky to line up, gets stuck easily, and really unnecessary. I can't imagine actually using the bottom half of the zips. If they deleted that it would be perfect! It's close fit, like a relaxed fit bike jersey. The XXL fits my 6'3" very large frame (50 chest) well!

Good choice to wear on long runs that start out with temps in the 50's. Once it warms up this piece of clothing is easy to wrap around ones waist.

This jersey is now the third one of these that I've purchased. It is a great clothing vehicle either as a stand alone or with a lightweight shirt under it.
Ibex has another winner.
Thank you for your continued fine products.

Comments about Ibex Commuter Shak Full Zip:
This shak is feels great and has worked really well for my commutes by bike. The average temp in the evening here is between 40 and 55 degrees and the shak along with a Nelson Longsleeve has worked very well.
One point that could be improved are the rear zipped pockets. They're too small for anything more than a wallet and cell phone. If you're not wanting to carry much and need a good looking, warm jacket for riding the commute shak is it.

Perfect. I wear a merino base layer plus this and i'm good from down to the mid-30s. On warmer days, up to about 50, I could probably skip the base layer. I'm an average build and it fits great—not too tight to wear casually, like a cardigan.

I use this sweater for biking and cross country skiing, and it performs wonderfully for both. It keeps its shape well and is plenty warm as a mid layer. A bit tight, tho' it does not restrict movement. Dual zipper and wind-stopping collar are nice touches. Ibex should put in thumb loops.

Great temperature regulation and heat retention when needed. Wicked sweat off arms quickly but tight fit kept arms and core warm on descents. Full zip allows temp reg. Perfect.
