"Super versatile" - Review of Ibex Hooded Shak Sweater - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 By catiecoo on October 4, 2007
I've had mine since July. Love how versatile this hoody is. The wool is tighter woven than the Icebreaker's 320g/m2 sweaters, so the fabric pattern looks nicer, which makes them more adaptable in both formal and casual situations. The tighter knit also makes this hoody more wind resistant than the Icebreakers. I got the black one, and wore it in July in cool southern California nights. Wore it on a few trips on the airplane, and during a semi-formal conference. This past weekend, we went hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park. It was 48 degrees out with 30 mph gust. I wore the hoody on top of an Icebreaker superfine t-shirt, and under an Arc'Teryx Gamma MX jacket. When the wind was blowing really hard, I put on the hood, I wasn't hot or cold. So, if you want something to wear summer and winter, in semi-formal and casual occasions, get this hoody. And I'd definitely recommend the hoody over the pullover. The hood makes it a lot more versatile.
