Boucle: expensive French cheese, or newest boy-band sensation? Right: double-knit merino wool with the smooth side on the interior and the looped side on the exterior. The result is superior warmth, and the Scout is a prime example of it. It's a nice midlayer with a 12-inch front zip, and a zippered chest pocket (it wasn't made for cheese, but you can use it however you like). Relaxed fit. Machine washable. Made in the U.S.

So far, so good!
I recieved my new Ibex Scout 1/2 Zip just a few weeks ago and I've had a few good opportunities to wear it during some Louisiana winter weather. My primary reason for purchasing the Scout 1/2 Zip is for casual wear, combining it with a base layer. As described, the Scout consists of two layers of wool, the outer layer being a looser Boucle weave and the inner lining a very comfortable, tighter wool material. I love the look and feel of the Scout - the arm length is long enough and the relaxed cut makes layering easy and comfortable. The collar sits just right and there's zero "itchiness" around the neck. I opted for the Shetland Heather color and it looks fantastic. I've yet to be disappointed by any Ibex product and the Scout 1/2 Zip is no exception. You get what you pay for - excellence.
