ArctixEssential Insulated Bib Womens Overalls

I'm a beginner snowboarder who needed to buy snow wear for my first lesson. I didn't want to spend too much as I wasn't sure I would like it and/or be able to actually learn. I haven't given up on the boarding and based on this purchase, if I keep to it, I know that I don't ever have to spend hundreds for good snowboard wear. I've worn this in 10 degrees in the swiss alps and in 31 degrees, snowing weather in Big Bear California. Both times I was kept warm and dry. I did add a thin layer of thermals underneath, but I was hot at times so I know it would do well without the added layer.If you're new to winter sports, you'll quickly learn that having zippered pant bottoms and built in boot gaiters are a must and this has both. Not only is this practical and comfortable, it looks super cute!! I hope to get better at snowboarding and if so, I'll be buying these in every color. For reference, I'm 5'5, 164#'s and I ordered Large. I was still able to fit the thin thermal layer as well as butt and knee pads. A bit tight with the added pads, but still fit well.

I really struggled with which size to get. I'm 5' 5", 155 lbs. According to the size chart (which is a PDF on the description page), I would be a Large. That's the 12-14 size, which I generally fit into for regular clothes. But I plan to wear this for snow shoveling and I want to put it over my clothes. I've never had snow overalls before, so I wasn't sure whether the size was manufactured anticipating pants being on underneath or not. I measured myself and saw that my measurements match the max end of the L measurements and the minimum end of the XL (16-18). So it seems I could go either way. I finally decided on an XL to be safe since I will be wearing them over clothes and too loose seems better than too tight.When they arrived they looked gigantic and really long, but once on, they look much more normal. As a test, I tried them on over what I was already wearing, which happened to be flannel PJ pants, a shirt and a thick sweater. The length is perfect. The body is comfortable, not too tight or too loose - but again; that's over regular clothes. If I wasn't planning to wear these over my clothes every time - or if I were wearing these for style - I would want the Large. But I'm happy with the XL because I like knowing that if I have to shovel I can throw these on over whatever I might happen to be wearing at the time; I'm lazy that way.The quality is excellent. Sturdy material, good stitching. They have good padding/insulation. I can sit down in them comfortably, they aren't constricting my movement at all. They have built-in gaiters with a grippy elastic to help keep cold air and snow out of the pant legs. They go on and come off very easily, so I no longer have to wrestle around trying to separate clinging fabric layers when I come in from the snow; the smooth lining slides right over my clothes. Smartest purchase I've made in a long time.**UPDATE March 2018** Seems only fair to update this after actually using them and not just trying them on. I tested them out the other day shoveling for 2 1/2 hours in nearly 3 feet of snow. I walked down a hill of snow up to my mid-thighs and was amazed to come out of it with virtually no snow on me, it just falls right off. None went up my pant legs either, so the elastic gaiters underneath really help. I was impressed that I stayed warm and completely dry the entire time. They were also very comfortable. It really made the whole miserable experience of shoveling snow not nearly so bad. I was so comfortable that I even stayed out a little longer when I was finished and played in the snow with my dog.*UPDATE December 2020* STILL love these things! They've stayed in brand new condition. Just got hit with nearly 3 feet and yet again I was amazed at how dry and warm I stayed while walking through very deep snow and shoveling for hours. I actually looked up this order tonight just to see what year I bought them and how much I paid for them because it's still the best purchase I've made in ages.

I love these! The color is great, bright and pretty (I got blues ones), they got a lot of use and held up well. The only thing is sizing is a little tricky. Returned the first pair because the torso part was too short, even with straps fully extended. I ordered “tall” ones the second time and they fit better in the torso but I have to roll up the legs so they don’t drag. They work well for what I need them for, to keep the wind off and keep me warm while walking my dog.

I bought these because they had a shorter inseam and wouldn’t be dragging the ground when I wasn’t wearing ski boots. They were comfortable, kept me warm and were comfortable. They are large enough/roomy for so you can wear layers underneath. Great price and were perfect forSkiing and snowmobiling. I would have given this five stars if there was a zippered front pocket on the chest of the bib. That’s the only negative I have for these bibs.

This product is true to size. The quality is on point. Very warm and comfortable. Easy to use. Easy to wear. Deep pockets. It even has extra space so you can layer up. Worth every penny

Me quedó perfecto, mido 1.57 y peso 62kg.Me daba pendiente que no me quedara de la piernas, me quedó justo pero no apretado y me queda perfecto con dos capas de ropa térmicaSe siente muy caliente al instante

El overol es excelente! Súper cómodo y calientito en nieve. Lo único es que tuve que pedir la talla XCH Larga (entrepierna de 33") xq la talla CH normal me quedó un poco corto ya con las botas de nieve. Mido 1.70m y peso 57 kgs.

Mido 1.70 , y peso 57 kilos. Pedi talla XS Alta y me quedó perfecto! Ajustado (a mi me gusta así) y el largo perfecto sin que arrastre. Un largo regular me hubiera quedado corto.

Fit true to size, comfy elastic side panels make moving really easy. Nice and warm!
