Nice bibs! Great fit, but tight around a ski boot if you have big calves.

Heavy duty bibs
All in all a great bib. The issues others have had with tightness in the thigh I experienced to a degree that didn't bother me, but was noticeable. The snaps that hold the back flap up are very hard to access and came unsnapped a few times, which when I had the side zips lowered for ventilation, made for droopy drawers. The side zips also hung up around the knee when zipping down, but I thin with more use they will loosen up. The material seems bombproof and I like the fact that I can take the elastic cuffs out, as the snap at the bottom of the leg seems to keep most of the snow and debris out. They kept me dry in a very wet northwest day of heavy exercise, rain and wet snow. What more can you ask?

Super small legs
I am 6' and a 33" waist and I could barely fit my legs into these bibs. If you have legs that are at all athletic, they will not fit into these bibs! Otherwise they seem like very nice bibs.

Beautiful well built bibs. Not for snowboarders..
I loved these bibs. Great fit. Top notch quality. Not too baggy. Look great. Full length leg zippers, which are getting hard to find. Then I tried to wear them with snowboard boots. The legs will not fit over board boots. Sadly returned them...

I would NOT recommend this product
Zipper snags making it nearly impossible to adjust zippers to vent while on the move. The zipper configuration is also poor for ski touring as you have to zip all the way from the top or bottom when you want to vent. There is also way too much fabric around the waist area. The legs fit nicely but not the Bib portion

Perfect for the Wasatch and beyond
I picked up my pair of Archangel bibs around December of 2020, and since then used them for some ice climbing / mountaineering, but primarily for alpine touring and skiing in the Wasatch range. I try to use a modular approach towards my outdoor gear and these bibs are my outer shell for wet, physically demanding winter sports.Thus far they have been one of my favorite and most versatile pieces of my winter kit. They are durable and well fitting, keeping me dry and not hampering movement while getting rubbed against the wall during ice climbing or mix climbing / scrambling while boot packing on a back country tour. Lightweight with plenty of vents, they have been ideal for touring, which has been my primary use for them over the past season. It would be nice to have one more pocket on the front, but all-in-all i would highly recommend these bibs for anyone touring, mountaineering, or engaged in any other winter activity where you're working hard in harsh conditions. Paired with the correct base layer, i use these bibs for all of my outdoor activities from first to last snow of the season.

Had to return, so sad.
I had my eye on these for a long time and finally purchased them. A full zip bib is a must for me and my old North Face bibs finally died. My excitement was quickly diminished though when I tried them on only to find that I couldn't bend my legs past 90 degrees without the crotch putting a vise move on my man parts! I am 5'8" and weight 145lbs. I have chicken legs and wear SMALL in all of my other OR pants. Also, the back of the bib has a ton of extra fabric that would just bunch up behind a pack and no way to adjust for that. I'm like, "what is the purpose of this, so I can put a giant puffy inside of my bibs?" I don't get it. It's a very weird design. Just put a full length zip on the Hemispheres bib or change the cut of the Archangel! Not to worry, I will always love OR and will continue to be a walking billboard for your products. Just not those because bibs shouldn't hurt. :(

Awful fit
These fit absolutely terrible, the thighs are so tight I can barely get them on the ankles are flared worse than pants from the 70s! For reference I'm 175cm and weight 70kg and an athletic build. Like most outdoor companies, these 'alpine climbing' salopettes have been built for skiers not climbers. If they are for climbing, they need to be trim round the ankle, they don't need to fit ski boots. They should be trim so not to snag on crampons. If your backcountry skiing, buy ski pants. If your approaching on ski's to climb, lift the pants up and change into boots. If you want to climb in ski boots, buy ski pants. Make two sets of salopettes, one for climbing, one for skiing. Look at the Jottnar Vanir (sadly no longer mad) for the best ones ever made.
