Sizing ChartIbex Men's Shak Jersey
Cut close with a flat lock seam construction for comfortable layering, the Ibex Shak Jersey is a natural alternative to polyester middle layers, featuring the right balance of moisture-wicking density for skiing, hiking and running in cold weather conditions. Significantly longer than most zippered pullovers, the Shak's front zipper extends halfway down the front of the jersey, so you enjoy more ventilation potential than most middle layers, especially if you're wearing it over a light silk shirt. The itch-free Merino wool knit holds the dye at the core of each fiber, so you won't have to hassle with color bleeds or fading.
- Dense textured Merino wool knit
- Flat lock construction
- 1/2-length front zip opening
- Easy care wash instructions
- Weight: 18 oz. in medium size

Brian - 2010-01-30Another great piece from Ibex
Very nice long sleeve shirt that fits perfectly. Made in the USA out of cruelty free wool from New Zealand. Can't beat that. Also works well for layering in the cold winter months of the Midwest. So impressed I bought two.
Anonymous - 2010-01-135th Shak Jersey Gift received a rave review!!
I have 3 women's shak shirts and recently purchased a 5th gift shirt. It was received with great satisfaction. This is a must to include in your backpack for most travelers: holds up and looks great. The quality is excellent: well worth the price!
Zul Chewanabas - 2010-01-12A very breathable Shirt!
I have Patagonia capilene base layers that I use during winter months; but this Shak Jersey really tops it; I use it for cross country skiing in Wisconsin for the first time; it is surprisingly very breathable. I will definitely use it for hiking the Sierra this year along with my Marmot Original Dri-Climate Wind Shirt!

craig bokesch - 2009-01-15Worth $125 - Buy this if you are a skiier or snowboarder
I own this and there is no better mid-layer on the market. I work at altrec and have tried dozen's of various mid-layers over the years. This one is the most breathable, the best fitting, and the warmest one available. This is well made and is somewhat form fitting. For taller people that have long arms and have a problem with shirts that don't cover you're wrist, you'll love the extra sleeve length that this ibex will give you.

This heavy wool option by ibex delivers. I haven't noticed much itch. I use it running in the late fall and as a mid layer during the winter. The Shak is also nice enough to wear out for an evening on the town. Some of the other benefits are: durable, does not hold on to odors like capilene/poly, stylish.
Anonymous - 2007-01-11Great Quality
Natural fibers are the way to go for warmth and comfort, coupled with the ability to very nearly eliminate body odor, it is increasingly what I reach for. The Shak is a high quality midlayer that will last for many years, making it not only user friendly, but a wise investment. Sizing is correct.
Midge Castillo - 2007-01-04great style, color, fit and function
I bought this for my husband for Christmas. He loves wool tops for his mountain biking and skate-skiing outdoor activities because they span a wide temperature range with great comfort. I got this model because of the drop in the back, making it especially good for biking. Mike is tall and takes a large to accommodate his long arms. This large fits perfectly, without the (usual) extra fabric around the waist. The raglan sleeves help it fit so well, and add a lot of style to the shirt. I got the green and I love the way he looks in it. As long as none of the other women notice.... ; )

craig b - 2005-11-29Worth Every Penny
I really enjoy ibex clothing. They definately take their time in the construction of their garments. The material on the shak will hold up forever. Its very warm and breatable, and the sleeve length is perfect, especially if you have longer arms. It feels good to wear and has many different applications, from casual wear around the house to snowboarding and skiing in the backcountry.
Anonymous - 2005-02-23very high-quality garment. wool rocks.
This is an extremely high-quality garment that is well constructed with very comfortable wool. It's machine washable too. It's a perfect shirt to wear as an outer layer for cross country skiing or snowshoeing in good weather. It's also a great mid-layer under a shell for alpine skiing or in bad weather. The wool breathes really well and accomodates a range of temperatures.
David Baker - 2005-02-20warm and beautiful.
slightly heayier then their base layer, but so much nicer than any fleese.
Clay E. Ewing - 2004-12-18Great enough to re-buy
A month after my last post, a seven-day backpacking trip through Big Bend NP saw day and night usage of my Shak. In 30 degrees under my Icefall jacket, to 70 degrees alone under my pack, the Shak made me marvel at its versatility, utter comfort, and ultimate value. Pricey at $125 until one realizes the huge variety of uses, and build quality to ensure it lasts for years...even by mountain lions.
The last evening of that trip, I put the Shak and my hiking pants on nearby creosote bushes to air out, as another norther blasted in with 50+ mph winds gusting down-canyon through our camp. I climbed out of the tent under a full moon to retrieve pants and Shak, and could only find the pants. The next morning we searched for 200 yards in all directions for the jersey, but could only find a well-worn path right through camp, going to a large hole in the base of a cliff about 75 yards away. We could only assume the lion that was sure to be the resident, had picked the shirt up on her way through our camp, and was using it for padding for (I hope) her cub(s).
I missed the shirt so much, I contacted Ibex for another, which immediately became my favorite hiking/camping/run around shirt in the closet. It might become yours as well.
Viva, la natural fibers! Viva Ibex!
Clay E. Ewing - 2003-11-11Buy it!
This is a piece that can do almost anything you ask, in complete comfort, and in temperature ranges that flat out defeated my synthetic mid-layers. As with all Ibex garments (and I own a few), the quality is top notch, the function matches the quality, and the only two potential downsides to this, and all quality wool pieces, is weight and price; they weigh half again as much as similar synthetic pieces, and due to the relatively low production numbers, tend to cost more.
All in all, a shirt that a buyer won't be disappointed with.
Anonymous - 2007-01-29Itchy
Well made, but watch out for the itchy Merino wool and extremely close fit.
Roderick Macdonald - 2005-12-13Comfortable but poor color
This is relatively heavy weight shirt with quite a large fit. It is comfortable and warm. The disappointing aspect of this shirt is that the color, in my case Red Pepper, turned out to be a washed out version of the nice deep red on the web site. I can't comment on the other colors but if I hadn't needed a shirt quickly I would have sent it back.
