The North Face Foundation Bib - Men's - 2009 BCS

I've put in over 60+ ski days in with these bibs and overall they are well designed. At 6'2" and 210 lbs, i went with the large. I've never had snow down my back, never been cold, and the leg zips dump some serious heat when needed.

The only issue i had was with the over the shoulder strap losing its elasticity. North Face quickly fixed it and sent it back to me free of charge.

I don't ski a lot so I didn't want to spend a lot of money, but with the hopes of fresh powder on my trip to Jackson Hole and Grand Targhee, I wanted to be sure to stay dry. And that I did! We had 14 inches of powder and I took plenty of spills but these bibs kept me warm and dry. I'm not convinced that the inner thigh vents work all that great, but I was overdressed and overheated, so I can't be sure. Plentiful and secure storage pockets. All zip except the right thigh pocket.

Excellent fit, great storage pockets. I had to have my wife rearrange the shoulder strap plastic adjustment buckle, because it was pressing against my clavical when I wear my Avalung pack when ski patrolling,

I wanted a windproof and waterproof (snow-proof) bib for walking in the winter without spending a fortune. I shopped for a long time and had my eye on these until a good sale and I popped for them. I like them a lot. I followed the sizing chart and they fit nicely. The straps are adjustable. I am a bit thick in the torso so they are snug high in the waist yet comfortable. The knees articulate and the bib does not feel heavy. The built-in gaiters are for ski boots so they don't really function with my low cut walking boots. I use separate gaiters when necessary. They are comfortable in all conditions. We have terrific winds where I live so occasionally I have to combine them with legging type cold wear, primarily because the wind can whistle a tiny bit up the cuffs. The pocketing is outstanding. Cargo pockets on each thigh (top zip on left side). Front hip pockets (both zip), and a huge breast pocket (top zip).

I went in to the outlet to try these on, and the large fit perfect.
I'm 6'2" 200 lbs, and found them to be extremely comfy.
The only thing I'm worried about, there are no reinforcements on the inside of the leg, and I'm worried about my boots ripping through the legs.

if you have a jacket without a powder skirt, I highly recommend them, because they cover up way past your chest and they'll keep you toasty while you hit the deep.

I now know what it feels like to not have snow in my underwear. These are awesome and give that all so cool redneck flair at the bar afterwards. Quite a conversation starter while enjoying apres ski.
