Good stuff

5'11" 175lbs

Originally ordered these in a large as no mediums in stock. I wear a size 33/34 pant usually so I've always been on the line with mediums and larges. These pants are very true to the sizing chart as although I could use the velcro cinches to almost fit my waist, the legs were WAY too long. The mediums are perfect. That said, here's what I like so far.

Pros
- Athletic fit, not baggy, but definitely not tight. I don't feel the pants restrict my range of motion in any way.
- Great pocket size and placement
- Vents have a fine mesh
- Boot gaiters aren't clumsy, and they fit snug over my boots forming a nice seal that doesn't shift
- The actual bib portion is removable and 2 button snaps can be used to directly connect the pants to the Bombshell Jacket
- Breathes well and keeps the wind from getting to you
- Water beads right off

Cons
- The bib fits me a little weird in that the straps are right on my nipples. Talk about chafing. I haven't worn the bib yet due to this, so I can't speak to how well it conforms to my chest and if it restricts at all. Maybe I'll sport some bandaids on my nips and give it a go.
- No RECCO reflector. This isn't huge for me, but definitely disappointing when the matching jacket has one and the technology benefits from multiple reflectors...

All in all I'm really happy with the bibs and can't wait to put em through it this season.
