Why is my size sold out?

Making clothing can be a dirty business, but we strive to keep it clean. Our line is crafted for quality and long-term performance. And we limit what we make: small-batch production ensures every garment is built to the highest standards and finds a loving home. Our approach minimizes landfill waste and uses less energy and water. We know it’s disappointing when a style you love is out of stock, but we appreciate your joining us in our pursuit of the highest environmental standards and carbon neutral impact.

Fabric Highlight

Merino Ponti

Composition: 100% Merino Wool
Weight(s): 300 - 375 gsm
Micron gauge: 19.5μm
Part mid layer, part outer layer, our Ponti is 100% merino wool, double-knit for incredible insulation. The interlocking structure monopolizes on merino’s natural elasticity, allowing it to move with you while skinning up the north side of the mountain or reaching for that final arête. Merino Ponti is our fabric of choice for the Shak collection, named for the iconic Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton. It’s ready for any and every expedition you find yourself on.

Reviews

Great vest

"The quality is very good. My husband is 6 feet , 175 pounds. Typically my husband would wear a large but the length of the vest was too long. He opted for a medium which suits him well."

— Elisa J. (5/5)

Looks great, performs great.

"My ibex vest is literally my favorite garment. Durable, warm, low profile, well constructed. I have been wearing it almost daily for the last 10 or 12 autumns and winters. If only it would wear out, then I could buy another one…"

— Matthew (5/5)

Shak Vest

"Ibex stuff is the best, been wearing various items since the ‘90s. Durable and versatile, wears better and performs better than synthetics. Expensive, but I’m still wearing twenty year old ibex garments."

— Martha P. (5/5)

Shak Vest

"I bought this vest for my son who loves everything about it, especially that it’s a natural fiber. He has a top that he thinks is about 15 years old. Still wearing it and loves it!"

— Karla L. (5/5)

Comfortable and Wears all the TIme

"My husband loves his vest and wears it all the time. Thanks for helping us find specifics to get thru the winter!!!"

— Cynthia P. (5/5)

Overpriced

"Although nice cut and quality, I expected something with more heft for the price."

— Frank M. (5/5)

Great Vest, needs better pocket openings

"This is a great Vest. I work in a Data Center and it keeps me comfortable in all the temperature changes. Only criticism is the hand pocket openings need to be a little bigger or the zippers for the pockets shouldn't be exposed."

— Claude T. (5/5)

"Quality is very good. It was too large, I had to exchange it for a medium."

— BofA (5/5)

Excellent layer piece!

"Very warm mid layer!"

— Marc B. (5/5)

Great vest!

"Nice fit and material. 6’5, 215, L"
