          Comments about The North Face Anchor Shell Bib Pants - Men's:

          Haven't had these long enough to comment on durability, but they fit great [large on a 5'11 male], are plenty warm, have very functional pockets, are water-proof enough for downhill skiing, and give great coverage [no "plumber" or snow down the back]. Big improvement over my prior bibs, and may make my one-piece suit irrelevant.

          Absolute love how lightweight & comfortable these are!! Awesome versatility temperature-wise!! Wore them skiing with nothing but boxer briefs and ski socks underneath @21 degrees with a windchill less than 0 and was perfectly comfortable, just as I was another time when I was skiing in sunny 50 degree temps with no wind chill.

            Comments about The North Face Anchor Shell Bib Pants - Men's:

            This is a great pair of bibs. I am very glad that I decided to get these. I wore them for the first time today on a deep snow day and they worked perfect. They kept me dry as expected. The only minor flaw I found with these was that the ventilation zippers on the inner thighs is not windproof and does not appear to be waterproof. There is a flap that goes over the zippers. I only noticed this because I snowboard and at times I could feel the wind blowing through with the vents all the way closed. I don't wear long johns, but I just thought it was something to note. It is not a problem for me though, and that being said I still believe this a great purchase. For sizing, I'm 6'1", 170 lbs and I went with a medium. The large was too baggy around the waist and chest. If you are much taller than 6'2" then I would go with the large since I have the shoulder straps maxed out at on length with the medium.

              Comments about The North Face Anchor Shell Bib Pants - Men's:

              For the price, this product is awesome. Other bibs can easily be over $300. I'm 6'1", 170 lbs and went with a Medium and keep the shoulder straps almost as loose as possible. I tried them on the in store and the large had a good fit for the length but was too big in the waist. So this is why I went with the medium which fits perfect in the waist. A slimmer fit without being restrictive. They are not insulated, but do have a lining to make them comfortable. They are waterproof and breathe well. The vents are great if you're doing any hiking in these.

                Great pair of ski pants - I prefer the bib style to ensure a draft free, warm day on the mountain. Plenty of pockets if you need them. Simple ski pants that do everything you need. I debated replacing my old Spyders but I'm glad I did.

                    I use these for snowboarding. Lots of useful pockets for storing all the garbage I bring along. Adjustable straps make these fit tightly or loosely around my shoulders depending on the day or my layers. Fits great, getting in and out is easy, and is a great price compared to most bibs you find for this quality.
