Best Ibex Women's Izzi Pant Deals

Customer Ratings:

I read all the glowing reviews on this pant and I was really disappointed. I am 5'-3" and 130 lbs. and the pant was way too long and too tight around the thighs and too loose everywhere else. I can't understand the reviewers who were short who said the pant fit perfectly on them. Most reviews said the pant ran large, but I bought the small instead of the xs because I wanted more room around the thighs. The construction and material of the pant were great, however, but as I didn't want to take a chance on another return of product, I went to the Ibex store in Boston and tried on everything they had in black. Good thing I did that, since none of the pants looked good on me, and it saved me some money. This pant would be good for those who are tall and slim, but if you have any extra weight around the legs and are under 5'-5", forget it.

These pants are my new favorite! All the other reviews are right on. Perfect after a long day (or night, since I work nights-)cute and comfy. They don't seem to stretch out too bad and I'm pretty rough on my clothes. I wish there were more colors!

Best Deals for Ibex Women's Izzi Pant

Here is my synopsis of these delightful pants, although I just opened the package and put them on two hours ago!

Low itch:

I am very sensitive to itchy stuff. I like to wear wool for its performance properties and because I prefer natural fibers, but I typically wear a silk layer beneath all wool for comfort. I prefer alpaca or cashmere to merino, but really like silk beneath all of these. While I am AWARE that I am wearing these pants--new from the package and not yet washed--over bare legs (with standard American underwear), they are not uncomfortable. I think these are slightly smoother than my Icebreaker and GoMerino knit wool pants, but I could just be tolerant because I was so excited to get these.

If you usually wear merino with no noticeable itch, these will be completely itch-free for you. If, like me, you still "feel the wool" and it itches a little, you might feel these, but they are VERY GOOD on the low-itch spectrum for merino wool. I find most of my Icebreakers and Ibex pieces are even softer after washing, so I am very hopeful that these might be wearable (by me) without long underwear, but I don't expect that from any animal fiber except silk.

The outside of this wool is noticeably more textured than the inside. When I showed these to my husband and he touched them, he said, "Oh, they are so woolly!" (He has sensory issues, so this was not a good thing.) Be aware of this if you are extremely sensitive to wool texture.

Classic style:

I think Ibex corners the modern merino activewear market on the more stylish, less sporty styles. These pants are almost my dream come true for a pair of knit pants to add to my lightweight travel wardrobe. (I aspire to be a one-bag, minimalist carry-on traveler, and I think good pants are the key...) The only thing missing is a ZIPPERED pocket, but I am willing to forego that in a knit pant. I had to return a pair of very high end travel pants because, as knits, the internal hidden pocket just wouldn't stay hidden against my hip. I choose nice-looking over hidden pocket in the knit pant category only, but I think Ibex could've made at least one of the two tiny front pockets on these pants zip without adding any appreciable bulk. I would love to hide a passport in a zip pocket, but even safely zipping in a spare credit card or hotel key card would be a travel win.

On the other hand, these pants are definitely the most stylish I've yet obtained from "the modern merino activewear companies." My Icebreaker pants are a little too "cute"; my Go Merino pants are too staid. These look fairly youthful, but don't embarrass a mid-30's mom like myself by being too young. They hit me at the waist, which I prefer, but I have a short torso so your mileage may vary. I am 5' 3.5" tall, and these are touching the floor with my slippers on, so might be perfect with shoes, or perhaps
