The quality of this product seems good from trying them on. The reason for the low review is that the fit was really weird. I generally run between a M/L. The M was pretty tight in the thighs and especially in the hips/butt area. I sized up to a L to see if that would be better and still had the same tightness issue in those areas, but the torso area just got larger. The fit was all wrong. I would say if you are someone who is curvy these are not the bibs for you. I wanted to like them but the fit was too wonky. For reference: 5’8” & 162 lbs.
Thin, flimsy, with no zippers or velcro for getting on or removing boots. Pockets insufficient. No zipper down the front for getting on or off or access to pockets underneath. All in all cheap, thin, and entirely disappointing. The North Face is not the company it once was. Buyer beware. Photo of white bibs above does not represent the product that was sent.
I’m in between 5’4” and 5’5”, I got these in a medium and they’re perfect.
