Stays warm and dry
I actually really enjoyed this snow bib. I went out to mammoth over the weekend and rode for 4 days straight. Absolutely 0 wetness inside the bib. I was warm from the insulation and one under layer. Looks pretty cool. Small fit perfect for me being a 5’8 140 lbs male. Didn’t rip in any places or get warn at all. The only downside is that the vents on the legs for cooling don’t have a mesh or anything to keep snow from getting inside the bib if you open the side vents and take a spill in the pow. Great flexibility. Overall comfort and performance is a 4.5/5. Buy this bib and you will be happy with the function. The chest pocket is also extremely useful.
Yes , I recommend this product

Poorly made
Entire crotch seam ripped after only one season of use. Have had many brand of ski pants for my family over the past 15 years and have never seen this. Will not buy REI brand for ski gear - not with the price.

Entire crotch seam ripped after only a few uses. I will never buy REI brand again. I was expecting the price to coincide with quality. I would not recommend.

Bang for your buck!
Yes , I recommend this product
Great product! Had it for a little over 2 years with almost no issues. Fits as advertised, and as a shorter person that's a good thing. It's insulated so definitely don't bring this out in the back country, but it keeps you warm. Eventually had a huge tear down the crotch so I'll have to replace them, but other than that they are perfect.

Good quality snow pants
Yes , I recommend this product
These bibs fit very nice and are warm and cozy. My only complaint is the elastic that goes around a boot is a little big. It allows snow to get up into my boots. If you are using these with snowboard or ski boots then this would not be an issue. With any other normal snow boots it will allow snow up it.

Loose shoulder straps
No, I do not recommend this product
Nice quality bibs (esp for the price) but shoulder straps loosen which is pretty annoying. I originally got the medium (I’m a 34/32) but they were way too small. The large was even a bit tight in the crotch. Overall I like them but the shoulder straps don’t work like they should.

Very warm but wet days they will soak through.
About 10 days in them so far and they are very warm, fit and wear great. On warmer wet days water soaked in the back side on the chair. Side cargo pockets would be nice but for the price I can't complain.

Ripped easily.

Fit great but ripped on the first ski trip after a minor fall. Otherwise they were warm and look great.
