Have been wearing 686 since for ever and noticed that a few years back there mediums were a bit tight. Ordered up the med bibs( after I tried the larges. Way too big) and the the mediums fit great. Loose but not crazy. Perfect length. I’m 5’8” so it’s a little tricky sometimes. Tough to find close that fit like a large but medium in length. These are the answer!
Haven’t got to put them in the snow yet but plenty of pockets, useful vents, and looks great. Only complaint is I got a medium based off measurements and other reviewers sizes and it runs big. Baggier than expected and a little longer too. Still keeping them though
Fits perfectly. Looks awesome. Now i just need to hunt down a Solar NASA Thermagraph to match.
