Ski Guide Bib Pant Women's

Purchased these bibs as an alternative pair of pants to the Ski Guide Pants, which can handle all weather and body positions a bit easier. Originally had the Ski Guide pants (which are also great pants!) but these pants add an additional measure of movement and durability. I found the pant version to be restricting in the crotch area and quad region when touring/kick turning/side stepping, whereas these bibs provide ample space without being too baggy. Pros: The bib pants feel like they have a thicker and more durable outer material, the 2 leg pockets are massive and easily fit radios, notepads, snacks, and gloves in them. The upper chest pockets can fit a transceiver and additional items if needed. The knees on the bib pants come with removable knee pads which is a great addition. One side zip starts at the top and goes to the knee whereas the other zip only goes from hip to knee which makes it easier to get in and out, and open side zips if you start to warm up. Reinforced boot cuffs and sinch. Space within the top portion of the bib to tuck in base- and mid-layers into the bib (if you prefer this way of layering) to make it easier to get the bibs on and off. Cons: as many bibs experience this - it's tricky to get out to pee quickly, can be a bit on the longer side (but manageable).

Let me just put it out there—I'm head over skis for this bib. The quality is off the charts; even in the wildest storms, not a hint of wetness. These bibs are like a fortress against the wind. And since they're just a shell, you've got the flexibility to play with your base layer game and dial in for any weather condition (cue the pre-slope forecast check!). As a ski instructor in constant motion, these bibs are my ultimate sidekick. They not only provide the freedom I need to move but also happen to be the most flattering suit I've ever snagged. Seriously, they hug those curves just right. Now, onto the cons. The trouser ends? Wide enough to host a ski-boot party. I get it, comfort over boots is crucial, but these are so wide that every step comes with a chorus of fabric rustling, and that ankle cuff elastic? It's practically a tripwire. Contrary to what many reviews might say, the pockets are a bit of a letdown. Sure, they're spacious, but the openings are so small that getting anything in there—be it gear or just your hand—feels like a challenge. In the grand scheme, the pros far outweigh the cons, but hey, we're all about the nitty-gritty details, right? Happy shredding! 🌨️⛷️

I really like the pants. They fit well and are of good quality. True to size. The pockets are also a big plus. I sometimes find ski pants to be too tight around the thighs, but in these I have good space and mobility. The only downside is that they should have had a full zip on both sides.

I've only had these pants for a week so these are first impressions only. I do like the fit around the waist and thighs however they have too long of an inseam for my short legs. Where the transceiver pocket is (for almost a child sized person) the transceiver squishes my ribs and makes it uncomfortable. I've had to use my harness again because of this. The elastic rope for the ankle cuffs have already been a tripping hazard for me and I've now cut it off. I feel that if you are a more "normal" sized human you will like them better then I do.
