I raved about these bibs all week on a trip to the alps! Very comfortable material for snow outerwear yet suitably waterproof. I don’t think the picture does them justice. They look and feel much higher quality in person. I spent 5 hours researching bibs and ultimately went with these for the relaxed fit, features, price, color, and moderate amount of insulation. I like the narrower shoulders and the thigh vents were a savior on warmer days. I like the variety of zipper, button, and Velcro pockets too. I was worried about the regular being too long because I’m 5’0” but they were perfect in ski boots! Too long for hiking unfortunately. 10/10 recommend.
I ski in the PNW which means the lighter insulation is great most days but on the really cold ones I need a good wool layer underneath, and the waterproofing has been great so far. I spent a day sitting on wet chairlifts and the outside layer was wet but the inside stayed dry, so far I’m really liking them
I like the bibs much more than I liked the jacket counterpart. They are pretty waterproof and warm. I like the amount of pockets and storage options. The only thing I don’t love about these is the lack of insulation. These are not nearly as insulated as I would have liked them to be. For the price I would say they are definitely worth the purchase.
This bib was great for skiing. There are several large pockets that are easy to access. Pocket linings are warm and soft. I fell in wet snow several times and stayed quite dry. I had only 1 wool layer underneath and stayed very comfortably warm in ~20F. Very happy with my purchase!
OMG I love these ski pants! Fit is great and very warm! Wore them on a cold and windy day and was very comfortable.
