From back country ski trips to slow moving days, ibex Woolies are the warmest, no itch second skin you’ve ever encountered.
What do a mountain goat and an outdoor apparel company have in common? Merino wool. If you haven’t heard of ibex you’ll want to continue reading. Ibex is a merino wool performance company named after a mountain goat, the Ibex Goat. An Ibex Goat can skillfully traverse mountains no matter what the season – resulting in the perfect inspiration for a company that prioritizes creating high-performance activewear from sustainable sources. Ibex was founded by an avid mountain climber that appreciates urban lifestyle all in the same, which is why merino wool was selected as the material of choice to outfit any adventurer that loves the mountains!
Ibex was founded by the passion for the outdoors but they also value being supporters and stewards of the global community with the goal in mind to empower their employees while supplying the highest quality and ethically made apparel available to purchase. Ibex strives to do everything they are capable of to become carbon neutral. To uphold their promise of being stewards of the earth, the farms in Australia and New Zealand that source the merino wool for ibex are regularly checked to ensure the sheep are treated humanely and the land is being protected.

Ibex fulfills their mission of providing premium quality outdoor apparel. Ibex wool, a type of Merino wool, is sourced from New Zealand and Australia. The Merino Sheep produce an all-natural high-performance fiber that outfits them for drastic temperature changes – the sub-zero winters to the hot summers. Much like the Merino Sheep, the Ibex Goat is outfitted for whatever elements it encounters which is why the merino wool is the perfect selection for outdoor adventure all while keeping you fashionable.
Why is merino wool best for performance apparel? It’s a natural fiber that thermoregulates – meaning its naturally designed to keep you warm in even the lowest of temperatures but will react to increasing body temps. The ibex merino is moisture wicking by being naturally breathable and will release any sweat as vapor keeping you dry on any adventure. Natural sweat wicking material guarantees no odors – even after a long day on the mountain, your merino wool shirt won’t smell. Furthermore, merino wool is the softest sheep’s wool you can buy and it’s not itchy. Unlike other kinds of notoriously scratchy wool, merino has a short fiber length and a thinner diameter that makes it smooth and comfortable.
