Wear it Everywhere
I've been wanting to buy an Ibex shirt for quite some time, but couldn't decide on which one. I finally decided on this one and could not be happier with the decision! This is the perfect weight to wear year round, either as a layer in the winter, or on it's own in warmer weather. I would probably be sized as a medium (5'8", 155 lbs.), however I felt it was a little small in the chest. I didn't want the tight fit, so I went with a large and it's perfect! The length of the medium and large, including the sleeve length seemed fairly similar. The main difference appeared to be in the chest.

Great Base Layer!
This is a really comfortable base layer. Fits too small to wear as a pullover out on the town unless you go up a couple if sizes. This is typical Ibex high quality.

Soft wool that keeps its shape
This shirt is quickly becoming my favorite shirt for fall/winter. I am 5'6" and 150 lbs and the small fits perfect. In this shirt, I am completely comfortable between 55 and 70 degrees. I like the zip-neck, and the fit is "athletic," but not form-fitting. Yes, the shirt is expensive, but I think it's worth it.

Start with Ibex
I have started to diversify my clothes and decided to try this one from Ibex. It is quite good and keeps you warm on those morning excursions. For my body type it is a good fit, not too tight and not too loose. It has a nice strong zipper. Would recommend it again.

Excellent winter top for runners
I serve as director for a fall/winter marathon training group in southeast Louisiana and I've just recently discovered the virtues of merino wool compared to the synthetic mircofiber fabrics common to high-end running gear. I grew up in the cold midwest, but I'll tell anyone who will listen, the coldest days I've ever felt have been here in the New Orleans area - it's a damp cold that can penetrate to the bone. The Ibex Zepher Zip-T seems to ideal long-sleeve performance top for our climate. The lightweight 18.5 micron merino wool keeps me toasty during early minutes of training, but it doesn't overcook me when I'm up to speed and warmed-up. The deep zipper allows for a little extra ventilation if needed and the fit is an athletic form-fit but not too tight. As with any Ibex piece, the quality is top-notch and it looks like it will withstand the test of time. No itching at all and zero stink, even after a few runs and no washing. I wasn't too jazzed about the color selection and I would love for Ibex to consider one really bright color each season to allow for increased night visibility. I chose the royal blue. Sizing seemed spot on. Highly recommended, great top for runners!

Great purchase!
This shirt is at home equally on the Mt bike trail or with jeans at a brew pub. I'll be ordering another one for sure!

Warm and versatile!
As with other Ibex products that both my husband and I own, this is soft, very fine guage and can be used as an under layer, or for more dressier occasions with khakis, etc. Ibex washes well and lasts a long time! I do recommend one size up if you are taller or longer armed.

very soft & warm
I ordered this for my husband and he found it to be mostly wonderful except it made him itch. So, I took it and I love it...no itch for me and it's very soft and warm.

There's nothing better
Like the other reviewer I got the Zepher after falling in love with my Ibex woolies zip-t. The Zepher line is a mid-weight material and Woolies is light-weight. Both are exceptional. I've owned Patagonia, Smartwool and Icebreaker tops and of all Ibex is most like a nice cotton jersey t-Shirt for being completely itch free. Also the Ibex construction is superior. Garments are assembled with flat, strong seams that make for a great fit. These people know how to make clothes fit the human form. Check out the Ibex Shak Glove liner (here at Altrec) for an example. I think it's only Ibex for me from now on.

I'll NEVER go back to synthetics
You have to buy a wool garment from IBEX, like the Zepher, as they are the best for warmth, fit and comfort. I am 6'4" and have 35" arms and IBEX has done it right--nice long sleeve length that comes down snugly around your wrists (no loose fit so that cold air rushes up your arms). I bought this shirt two months ago (along with their Woolies Zip-T) and will never go back to synthetic materials for my base/insulation layers again. Warm, itch-free, no odor (I wore it for 9 straight days out West while skiing...don't ask) and it never retained any odor. Warm--holy cow are their garments warm! I just wore it in 9 degree weather and I was toasty all day. I have tried-on the new Patagonia wool base layers and IBEX has them beat hands-down with better fit and quality of workmanship. IBEX is by far the best (can u tell I'm a total convert). I reco also buying their Woolies Zip-T and layering it under this shirt. The Woolies Zip-T is form fitting (although it stretches with you) and...very warm, it hugs your body and you stay toasty. These garments will move perspiration away from your skin just like the polys do. These two garments together cannot be beat by any poly-pro garment on the market today. Like me you'll wonder why you didn't think of buying wool sooner. I will be buying many more IBEX garments in the future.
