Great bib at a fantastic price!
I finally got to take these out onto a mountain over the weekend and was quite pleased with the results.
First, I'll go over the fit. I am 6'2" and 180lbs. I wear a 32"x34" pant. I ordered the Medium. They fit close to the body and are quite comfortable. The shoulder straps are adjustable to adjust the fit thru the crotch easily. The elastic on the sides makes for a comfy fit. The inseam was a bit shorter than I'd like as someone that wears a 34" leg but not a big deal at all. I've seen people say the the legs are huge. This is not my experience as I think they fit close to how a normal men's bib would fit.
The zippers around the bottom of the leg make fitting over snowboard boots easy and they have a gaiter to tuck in and seal out snow. They only have one pocket but I was able to adjust to that quite easily and didn't find it to be an issue.
They do not have a removable liner but they are insulated. I was worried that the insulation may be a bit thin but after taking them onto the slopes in 8 degree (-5 wind chill) weather, I found them to be just fine. I was able to stay in the snow and cold for hours and, if anything, I started to feel a bit too warm. The waterproofing also worked just fine and kept me dry all day.
After the trip, I was able to wash them without incident. I washed them in cold water, dried them on low and immediately took them out to fold and put away. They aren't wrinkled and the insulation stayed intact.
All-in-all, after comparing to other brands which cost much more, the Arctix snow bib comes out looking fantastic. Great price for a great product!
