Voluminous thighs!

I have had great experience with Marmot gear in the past -- it is quality, well-designed stuff. And I had heard great things about these bibs from various hard-core mountain types. However, I never got to battle-test them. When I tried them on, the hips/thighs billowed out like those neo-Nazi pants that state troopers wear with their high boots! My guess is that the bibs are designed to allow you to wear a lot of high-volume layers and maybe also a harness underneath. Great for hard-core mountaineering, perhaps, but they seemed excessive for backcountry skiing, and I returned them...
