Convert to wool "lingerie"
January 17, 2012

The fit is perfect for me. Size 4 pants size equals size small. They look tiny at first but stretch comfortably. I feel naked wearing my Ibex undies and have since purchased 2 other colors. They hand wash and air dry quickly and easily, so have become my daily staple. Durable, but slightly pilled after a month of use and washing. Great for travel or camping too. Worth the price, needs more colors and styles in the fabric.

Pros: Great design, Build quality, Great value

comfie underwear
January 14, 2012

Very comfie, stay in place. I liked how the black looked and ordered the maroon as well. Stylish as well as practical. Am looking forward to trying them out in cold weather, cross country skiing on some 50 K races. Can't really speak to durability. More later in the winter.

Snuggly Warm Undies, Sized too small
December 30, 2011

These underware are very good quality and have good coverage if you buy the right size. I am 5'7" and weight 128 lbs. I ordered the size medium. I normally wear a size 4 or 6 pants and in department store underware which come in sizes 5,6,7,8, I normally wear a size 6 in underware. Well the mediums were way snug so that I felt there would be too much stretching beyond the original shape so I returned them. I will be reordering the large which I think will be perfect. I never wear a large in anything so I think the sizing is way off, but the quality is good so I am willing to reorder.

Too Small
December 23, 2011

I don't have much to say about the underwear since I had them on for a nanosecond; they were clearly too small. I only recommend since I'm happy there is wool underwear out there to be had! I ordered a medium. Sometimes I'm a medium and sometimes I'm a large - depending on brand. But I'm wondering if I need to size up to an XL in these. I will exchange but cold bummer for now!

Worth it
September 26, 2011

Ibex wool underwear. I love them. They fit well, stay in place, and are comfortable. Ibex keeps the stock of these low, so they rarely go on sale. Worth the price.

Love these
April 25, 2011

My favorite underpants. These are a little pricey for underwear, but I think they're definitely worth it. They are super comfortable, stay in place all day long, and offer just the right amount of coverage. They're great for hiking because they're so breathable and they insulate better than cotton. Highly recommended.

v-e-r-y comfortable
March 22, 2011

I think they run a little on the small side, but otherwise wouldn't change a thing about these. They're not cheap, but they are not your average undies. They are deilghtfully comfortable in any weather, and have all the good qualities natural wool provides. Highly recommended.

Great for winter activity
January 07, 2011

I own these and have given them as gifts. People are always amazed at how much warmer they are in these when wearing them outside in the winter. They are very comfortable and don't feel like wool but have the warmth you expect from wool.

Comfy, Stylish and Great for Playing Outside
August 24, 2010

After trying on a pair of Ibex's Balance Briefs you'll be telling all your best gal pals about them like they're a favoured pair of shoes. Made in a variety of good power colors from violet to triathlon red to lucid blue, these briefs are comfy beyond belief with a stylish, flattering cut. Ibex's luxurious 17.5 micron Merino wool and seamless design provide comfort and support. The material these briefs are made from is thin, just the way women's briefs should be. At the right thinness, softness, amount of stretch, and cut, the Balance Briefs fit in all the right places and don't move once you slip them on. They become a second skin that you will love. Recommended use: climbing, hiking, backpacking, skiing, snowboarding, running, traveling, around town, that emergency-impromptu-hot-springs-dip, you name it they do it.

Great briefs!
April 02, 2010

I really like these underwear! They are very comfortable, they stay put, and they stay dry when I work out. They're great and I'll wear them all the time, under everything. I can't wait to buy more.

My favorite briefs

Best briefs I've ever worn. Cotton leaves me sweaty. Wool keeps me dry. Best to order up a size. I would own more pairs if Altrec kept them in stock.

Best undies ever
January 19, 2010

Once you've gone wool, you'll never go back to cotton, nylon, or synthetics. Stays dry, stays cool, no painful seams or itchy tags, feels generally great both summer and winter. This brief is worth every penny. Be forewarned, I think they size these for Lilliputians; I have a pretty skinny butt, and have to order the largest size for a comfortable fit.
