Originating in Woodstock, Vermont by long-time cross-country skiier, John Fernsell, Ibex uses the natural fiber of wool to innovate sustainable outerwear and baselayer apparel.  Crafted to be comfortable, functional, and ethical, most Ibex clothing is made in the USA from fine merino wool gathered humanely from sheep farmed in New Zealand.  This extremely soft fiber is gentle to the skin, wicks away moisture, and is anti-bacterial, making it the perfect apparel for keeping warm without sweating and being uncomfortable.  Finally, you'll love the way it looks, because let's not forget that's important, too!

The Ibex Way 

Ibex has created 5 different categories for their clothing, all varying in fabric weight and thickness.  The lower the Micron, the finer the wool fiber.  That's what makes Ibex wool ultra-soft and comfortable.  Each category also varies in fabric density, as warmer, less breathable pieces are essentially thicker than those worn in more mild temperatures.  From baselayer, to lifestyle pieces, to peak performance outerwear, Ibex has a little bit to offer a large variety of people and activity levels.   

Also, Olive only carries items from the 70% of all Ibex wool clothing that is made from Zque certified wool.  The term Zque refers to the accreditation program that ensures environmental, social and economic stability, animal welfare (non-mulesed) and traceability back to the source.
