Carbide Bib Pant - Men's

SNUG

SUPER tight at the thighs and waist, otherwise they are very nice. im 36" @ 210lbs.

great for bird legs

I had to get a large, short. Doing squats and working out made the thighs to tight for last season's medium. They are my go to bibs for ice climbing and teaching skiing on the rain days. Pertex is lighter and better than the new gore stuff. Ilike the big chest pocket and the beacon clip Would like to have full length zippers!

Nice bibs

Seem like good bibs, a bit on the thin side so may tear but have held up well so far this season

Great bibs

Wore it for the first time last week and it worked really well! The length was perfect and the features were great!

Size chart is awful.

Go big or don’t order. I ordered based of my size which would have been a medium. They are not even close to fitting. Way too small.

Amazingly lightweight and breathable. Huge pocket on the front which fits both my wallet and phone. The new goretex material is holding up just as well as it used to.

Never had a bad day on the mountain in these bibs

I'm a resort rider who typically heads right to the back bowls and tree runs. These were my first pair of bibs and are now my default bottoms from start to finish of the season. Warmer through the core than I thought they'd be, with plenty of pocket volume and good locations. Plus, the zipper fly is a very convenient feature. All around superb pair of bibs.

Very Happy with the bibs

Excellent quality and more than reasonable price, customer service is also phenomenal - had to return ones as medium size was a bit tight in the thighs and got large instead - large fits great (only wish they would be a touch longer) but once again very happy with the product

Great fit and function!

I'm 5'6", 160lbs and the Medium-Short is a perfect fit. The material is lightweight, durable, and stretches in the right places. Not too baggy, not to snug. The side-entry bib is easy to get into, and I really appreciate the regular zip-fly for bathroom breaks. Leg and chest pockets are well placed and deep. The interior beacon leash and pouch are perfect for a phone. OR makes great gear. I really appreciate the attention to detail and availability of sizes

Quality product - annoying features

I got these bibs using a warranty credit for a pair of ski pants of the same weight. Unfortunately the pants had been discontinued so the closest thing that was available was this model of bibs. Pros: I've been skiing in them for a couple of months now at Steamboat. They are quite comfortable and dry with a polartec powerstretch fleece base layer under them. They are well constructed of quality materials. The pockets are deep and easy to access. Cons: 1. I really hate the side zip entry: a. It makes the bibs quite awkward to put on - the zipper is hard to reach with either hand. b. It requires unfastening one of the suspender straps and the buckles are difficult to fasten. c. It prevents you from ventilating and cooling off by opening zippers on your mid and base layer tops 2. The zipper fly is too short - it is difficult to do your business through this fly. 3. Lacks adequate pockets - one or two mid-thigh cargo pockets would really help A front access zipper would be a major improvement: 1. It would make them much easier to put on and take off 2. It would facilitate bathroom breaks 3. It would facilitate ventilation 4. If these bibs had a front access zipper, I'd really like them. With the current side access zipper I just barely tolerate them. I'd like to see them made from a slightly heavier fabric.
