Good Deal on Ibex XL and XXL Knickers

[Mike Schiller]

If you are a larger person Sierra Trading Post has a good deal on Ibex  El Fito wool knickers right now. 

I just got a pair of XL's and they fit me great ( 5'11" and 190lbs).  These things are the Bee's Knees for cold weather riding.

Mike, you live in Carlsbad.  Your idea of "cold weather" may be a bit tweaked.

(yes, I rode both days last weekend)

On a more serious note, how heavy would you describe these as being? 

[Mike Schiller]

I would say they are medium weight.  As you know we have had some days recently that were in the 50's all day.  And 30's at night and early in the morning.

And I do like to ride in other places. 

I also like keeping my knees warm so these are fine up to about 65 degrees  with a light wool long sleeve top.

I like these Ibex wool knickers, too, in the bib version. MUSA out of NZ wool, good stuff. The fabric seems heavier than in the Ibex bibshorts which I also own and like. They also have windblocker panels to protect the knees. I find my bib-knickers good for cool-to-cold (i.e., 35-55 degrees F) riding here in San Francisco. I tend to run warm, and never feel the need to wear full tights (in SF; winter cycling in Wisconsin was a different story).

I like Ibex products, and the make, function, and price of these knickers looks good, but I dislike the old style cycling pads and it looks like these knickers have one built in. I can't tell from the pictures at Ibex if it is easy to snip out. If you have a pair in hand would you please let me know your thoughts on how simple it would be to remove the liner?

Not easy to remove those liners...

I have not done it on mine but I know of a few people who have using a steam ripper.  Not sure how it looks after but it has been done.

Thanks for the first hand report.  I have modified several pair of shorts with a seam ripper, but these Ibex knickers look much harder to modify. I will pass.
