great fit, pockets are in great spots. my only addition would be some way to tighten the outer layer of the pants to the boots, a tad big around the bottom, but i used they for snowboarding, not skiing. great waterproofing and materials. all around great stuff.
I would recommend this product.

I really wanted to like this bib, however the design for my intended application was completely impractical. I was looking for a good bib for alpinism, winter climbing, and ski mountaineering, etc. and the description on the website makes it sound like this would be a perfect foul weather layer. The quality and construction seemed great and I'm sure the bib would have worked fine outdoors, but the description of features is very misleading.
The product description states that the bib has "side entry zipper" and "full length side zippers". In actuality, on the left hand side, the zipper only reaches to mid-thigh. On the right there are two zippers, one similar to on the left which reaches mid-thigh, and a second which zips down from the top to mid-thigh. However on both sides it is not possible to completely unzip the sides. Therefore, it would not be possible to put on or take off over skis or crampons, which is the point of having "Full length side zippers".
To be fair, it would be a good bib if you were looking for something to keep on the whole day, but this is not for you if you want something with full side zips, which is unfortunately how it is advertised.
I do not recommend this product.
