Fit great; keeps you dry and warm. Everything expected from Burton.you can pop tops at the aprês ski bar and let the guns outI'm a big Burton fan and have been leaning more on the avid snowboarder for 15 years. Burton has quality gear and stands by their softgoods (ie clothes you wear for ski/snowboard) with a lifetime guarantee. That said, this is the first time I ever used a bib and I dunno why I never used one from day one. To start, I'm 5'8" 158# and the medium fits great. Not at all ridic baggy - just the right amount of relaxedness. If you are on the heavier side (ie look pregnant or have a beer belly) these will not fit, because the top part will be very snug. I love all the storage capacity and the 15k waterproofing works great. As I've gotten older, my flexibility has gone down and the lack of a belt with the bib allows me to sit down and reach down easier to mess with my toe straps. I know people complain about the smallish fly on this bib and having to go pee - but i'm fine with pulling the suspender parts off if I have to go. The parts I really like are the chest pocket (store money here) and the lower leg pockets (store my smartphone here) so I don't have to worry about sitting on my phone and it doesn't take away from hindering forward movement.Very Comfortable and warm even in below freezing winds.Used these bibs for two days in deep powder recently as their test drive. They performed very well. They felt great and moving around in them was very easy. I wore a belt with them, so no shoulder pulling. I had no wet butt either day, so the water proofing is decent.I do have some complaints / places that could be improved:- The 'water hose access zipper' is mind numbingly small. Fully unzipped you will still feel like you're working on a puzzle trying to actually extract your equipment. No glove wearing during this activity, no glove liner either, and you better be careful so there's no kinks in the line...- I wish the chest pocket was as big as it could be. It is big enough for my phone, but it's a fairly quaint space. In fact some sort of inner-pocket/divider to keep my phone away from the other random bits n bobs I have in there would be completely ideal.- The front hip cargo and rear pockets have small weakish strips of velcro and no zipper. The front 'hand' pockets are zippered, so it is a strange omission. Not secure whatsoever and just a place for snow to get into.Fits exactly how you’d want a bib to fit. I also like the location of all the pocketsI really like these, they are super comfy and there's pockets everywhere for carrying things around. They've kept me really warm and dry, even when I'm snowboarding all day. The only thing that is preventing me from giving 5 stars is that there was a little bit of fraying closer to the shin and I don't recall getting it caught on anything or wiping out. Otherwise, I'd highly recommend.I was looking for ski pants so I tried various companies: flylow , North Face ,etc and this had the perfect fit. I'm a big guy 6'7", 320lb but proportional and athletic and this fits me like a glove. The material is great. The Gore-Tex let's your body breathe, you don't really sweat in it like you do with other brands where their material is more plastic raincoat-like. Easy to to put on and take off, front zipper. Many openings to vent throughout the whole Bibb with solid waterproof zippers.Great quality but was too tight above weist, ok i don’t have a fit body but still, when i buy XL i expect it to be XLThese are $80 cheaper than every store I have been to, no one will price match. I thought maybe last years or not the real thing but they look great to me. Medium fits as it should, very happy with this purchase.Bought these for my husband last winter. He absolutely loves them. Burton is a great brand and the quality is no less. Super warm and the material is built to last.Fit great because I am a plus size but there is stretch for my gut. They also come up high on my chest. Nice pocket for an iPod too. The olive is a great colour. Nice pants.Soooo nice
