Functional & Great Quality. Would purchase again.
Nicely made. Great Quality. for reference im 5'7", ..170, pant size: 33/30...i orig ordered the M/30 it was more like a perfect fit ...so I returned it and went with L/30 to allow for layering & more movement.Very comfortable & warm...Looks great on. Kept me dry for 2 days newbie snowboarding in 20degree snow fall. Length is great. All the features perform as presented. Fit well over knee pads and a crash pant. I could even tuck my mid layer jacket under it as well if I wanted to. Size large allowed for ample range while snowboarding. After 2 days of numerous falls, I remained dry & all seams remain in tact. Also has ample pockets. Very happy with this purchase.

Proper fit for short guys, good value
First off, this is one of the only short bib ski overalls that fits correctly in rise (crotch). Most manufacturers simply shorten the legs while not making any alterations elsewhere. This invariably makes the pants too long in the crotch which restricts your movement, feels uncomfortable and looks a bit like you've got sagger pants on. Arctix seems to have the short fit worked out.Note that these are NOT made from fancy 2L or 3L laminate waterproof / breathable fabric. They are basic coated polyester with an exterior DWR finish. Arctix claims "5000mm Thermalock" which, if the 5000mm claim is accurate, should be good for most conditions other than wet snow or rain. I wore these skiing in conditions ranging from super cold (12°F) to just above freezing (35°F) and they were fine. Decent warmth and they didn't get wet under my butt riding lifts with fresh snow on the seats. One thing I do to most of my cheaper winter gear is to wash them once, tumble dry, then hit them with an extra coating of NikWax DWR or, even better if you can find it, Bayes Fabric Protectant spray. Tumble dry again on low heat and you're good to go for months.Most importantly, they fit.

Amazing performer for the price
Doing horse stall work and cleaning in these in a non-heated barn... Kept me warm all shift. Great fit. Material held up very well all season... Great value! Did not throw them in the washer just bc I could throw em on at the barn and get right to work over comfortable sweats or jeans and leave hanging up when done. No thought of what to wear to work the stalls from October to April in Ohio. .

Really like. A little snug, tho …
UPDATE! Zipper busted and can’t be fixed. Perhaps it was because of the snug fit. Ordered a snow bib from another company, but it was extremely poor quality. Ordering another pair of these (XL this time) and hopefully the zipper doesn’t break.Got a Large. I’m a nudge over 6 foot and around 190 pounds. Fit is almost perfect, but just a little tight. I think that’s the “athletic” style. Maybe an XL would have been better to allow for more room in the legs? Product is great. Been rolling around in deep snow. Staying warm and dry. Highly recommend but sizing always a crapshoot.

Very Impressive
Although it has yet to even remotely warrant wearing these for the purpose for which they're designed, I can say that, upon trying them on, they fit very well and appear to be of great quality. I'm excited for winter now, or at least temperatures where these can be tested.I'm 5'10" medium build, 29" - 30" waist and 30" inseam. I ordered a 'small' and it is just the right amount of snug with a pair of jeans on, but I normally wear long johns or pajama pants under my snow coveralls which would fit perfectly. The boot gaiters are a nice touch, but I'll have to see how effective they are with snow that comes up to mid-calf and higher. I did splash some water onto them, and it didn't seem to soak through. The insides are slick, too, which I like -- it helps when getting a leg into them.All-in-all, nice design, cool color (charcoal), great fit, seemingly durable -- now just to wait to be able to test them out. Winter's not so bad if you have good gear.TESTEDI'm SO happy I purchased these. I've been able to test these in -15F with -30 F wind chill. I'll be completely honest -- I couldn't be more impressed. Nothing can bother me in these. I will say, though, that I can't wear them over 25-30F or so; I begin to get too warm. If the temps are below 0F, I'll wear long johns under them, but above that, a simple pair of flannel PJ pants will suffice -- just as a layer or boundary OR if I need to dress out of them for whatever reason. I don't know of anyone who just wears coveralls with nothing under them.The built-in leg gaiters function very well, and I'm happy to have them. I have worked for several weeks now with snow on the ground, sometimes up to several feet and I have yet to have any snow get into my boot. The elastic and material that's integral the pant leg do a great job of hugging the boot and stay at the bottom of my laces.The only thing I'd change is adding belt loops OR a place to stow a knife. Yes there are pockets; however, for a frequent knife user -- they're far from ideal. I have added a nylon riggers belt with molle-like loops on it and that has seemed to help quite well. I am able to add a fixed blade to my gear.As far as the overall material and craftsmanship of this piece of gear, I'm very impressed and am confident to wear this on the worst of days.

Warm, somewhat durable
I've been wearing these for 2 months now for skiing and snowmobiling. They definitely keep you warm and have withstood to pricker bushes and falling down a mountain. The only problem I have is the crotch will rip so watch out.

It helps out by keeping multiple layers off yourself
What I like is that you can move around easily in them without much worry of splitting the seams out, easy to get into and out of, and provides a nice layer of warmth. I used it for this winter season and with the blizzard we had, all I needed for that was foot warmers and a pair of leg warmers and I was outside with no issues being cold.Dislikes is that the inseam didn’t have a shorter size , shoulder straps like to slide back quite often, not many pockets (at least for my job and what I carry with me), and the leg pocket broke the seam really fast so it’s been useless.Overall, it’s a good pick. After I started wearing these at work, I noticed other coworkers wearing the same thing as me!

Nice Bib good quality.
I used them for 1 week for skiing. Not sure how long they last. I have Spyder older ski pants and Spyder pants are little warmer than this ones. I like about bib the chest and back is much warmer than in my Spyder pants. Will recommend.The stitches allow cold air into the pants. While skiing i feel cold are blowing between the legs and getting cold with the speed.
