Solid middle of the road bib
Good bib, not bomb proof, but keeps the snow out of your pants! Not the warmest but layering is the way to go anyway. Solid middle of the road bib. I’m 6’2 215lbs and the large with 32” inseam fit best.

Bad Zippers
Used 1 time and the zipper is already torn on the front pocket of the pants. I will be returning for a refund.

Quality bib

These fit well and are very warm. My first pair of bibs coming from regular snow pants. These definitely feel better while actively skiing you don’t feel anything around your waist like you would with pants and there is no worry of them being to loose or tight. These have a nice fit and I would recommend.

Must Have for Snowboarding

I bought these after, consistently struggling with getting snow in my pants as well while snowboarding well as constantly having to pull them up throughout the day on the mountain. This bib is a game-changer! Not only does it keep you warmer, it made snowboarding so much more enjoyable for me. NOT A BIT of snow was found inside my pants. For size reference, I am 6'1 slender build (I bought a large) and didn't have an issue with them riding up, the shoulder straps are adjustable and will let you change where the seems sit while standing

Expected it to be warmer

I've worn this on a resort day and it was really windy. I expected this to pretty much block the wind but I got fairly cold through it and noticed moisture on the outside, implying some heat was escaping. I was wearing pretty minimal layers so I might be expecting too much that I wouldn't feel wind chill through this and a single layer of merino. I do like the construction as it keeps out the snow and doesn't fall down my hips like my old snow pants. I'm planning to try it out on a more active backcountry weekend.

Great Bib!

Bought this to replace an old bib. Super comfortable and moderately warm. Also a great deal compared to other ones for sale. Can’t go wrong with north face.

Decent Bibs

I bought them this past winter and used them for a few days of skiing in Colorado. With temperatures in the teens and twenties, they were warm enough over mid weight base layers. They are kind of baggy for me, but were less baggy than the other brands that were available at the store. I had to roll the bottoms up so they wouldn’t drag if I wasn’t wearing ski boots. For me, they work for skiing but not snowshoeing or other winter outdoor activities.

Missing the details

These looked like great ski pants, in reality not so good. Issue #1 the front zipper is un reachable when wearing a pull over style top, making it impossible to open the fly, #2 NO SIDE ZIPS, again decontenting raises its ugly head. I'm a ski profesional and bought these for daily on the job wear. I spend my day ski boots and these pants dont do the job.

Good entry level bib with few compromises.

Great entry level bib. It gets the job done. I wish the vents were a little longer. Legs are little snug around the boots. Two chest pockets would be nice. Having a way so secure your keys in one of the pockets would be nice. Otherwise very comfortable and work as intended.
