The Ibex Men's Vertigo Jacket is going to make that synthetic fleece in your closet obsolete. You'll reach for this stylish jacket any time you're hitting the trail or heading to town this fall. The Vertigo's highly durable Loden wool has a great warmth-to-weight ratio and resists wind and water to keep you comfortable when the weather gets nasty. Ibex put this material through an exclusive cold water process to preserve the natural lanolin in the wool, meaning it's highly stain-resistant. A semi-contoured cut prevents the Vertigo from bunch up under a hydration pack, and creates a streamlined look that's great for the street.
Bottom Line: The Ibex Vertigo—so warm yet lightweight, it'll make you dizzy.

Best over Arc'teryx Gothic, Icebreaker Jetter, and Merrell 04-12-08
This is a lighter but more versatile jacket than the others I mention. I am about 5'11" wear a size 44R suit and this fit snug in the chest (which I prefer for active clothing) and tapers slightly to the waist. The styling is excellent and I wear from hard play to the commute to the office. To compare the 4 jackets I ordered, I preferred the Ibex Vertigo Jacket at No.1 (made in US), No.2 is Arc'teryx Gothic (made in China), No.3 Jetter Jacket (made in China), No.4 Merrell Jacket. I am keeping the Ibex and Arcteryx and returning the other 2.
Just received this and have been wearing it the last couple of days in the cool mornings. Works great as a light fleece alternative (40-50F range) and looks great as well. I can wear it into the office without looking as if I just stepped out of the backcountry.
Wearing this jacket with short sleeves underneath is like wrapping your arms in Brillo Pads. If it had a chamois liner on the inside it would be spectacular.
