First pair of bibs and these will last for a long time!! Super comfortable and plenty of pockets in the right places. They are perfect!
Awesome bibs, was a blind purchase on REI.com but so far I love them! I'm 5'10, 155 pounds and bought a medium which fits great. It's a little loose in the middle, so on colder days I wear a belt to keep it tighter to my body. After skiing a few blue bird days in these, today I put them to the test for 5+ hours straight of skiing in wet, heavy snowfall mixed with high winds. By the end of the day, the exterior legs of these bibs were wet as well as sporting a nice accumulation of both snow and ice, but my legs and core were still warm and dry with only a pair of merino wool long underwear underneath. I like that these bibs come up relatively high on your chest for added warmth. After skiing in them for 9 days I am very happy. I have yet to try these bibs in extremely cold conditions (single digits and below), so I will likely write another review once I've had the chance to do so.
Bought this for my trips out west to Colorado preparing for the cold weather and have loved these. They kept me dry, toasty and looking good! Not much too add other than that I would buy multiple of these if I needed.
The website makes the hue look a bit purple which is why I wanted them In the first place but in person they're 100% gray. Still going to use them, love the slightly baggy fit and the warmth.
Can’t wait to use this on my next ski trip. Looks and feels amazing sitting around the house that’s forsure!
Fully sick, raddest baddest bib for the hottest tightest laps. Quality quality quality!!!!
