4 stars - wide legs and waist area but warm
I needed these snow bibs asap so I ordered a bit larger to be sure they would fit. I am 5' 4" and wear a size 16 so I decided to order 1X. They were gigantic! The pant legs are quite wide and it also seems very wide through the waist area. I probably should have gone with the XL. However, like I said, I had no other option as we are heading out skiing this weekend, so I couldn't exchange them. I ended up taking in about an inch on each side panel and it's a much better fit. It could also use a couple darts in the back but then it seems to be pulling up too much in the crotch area so I'm going to leave it as it is now. They seem very warm and I'm hopeful they will keep me comfortable while skiing. If skiing is a success, perhaps I'll change my rating to 4 stars.
****OK, I updated it to 4 stars because I just wore them this past weekend skiing. It was 6 degrees in the morning when we started out and 17 degrees in the afternoon when we went home, not counting wind chill, and it was windy! I was not cold one little bit, except my face, but I didn't expect the bibs to help with that. Honestly, I liked having a bit of extra room in the legs to allow for movement. The 1X size I ordered would probably be perfect for someone who is a size 18-20. I also liked the zip close pocket in the front for storing my cell phone and money while skiing.
