HOW. WHY. I'm 5'11 (179 cm) and around 150 pounds (69 kg, but to lazy to google that in pounds). I get it, you might think I'm tall, but in reality, Im really not, especially when considering male sizing.
humans are three dimentional beings (four I guess), so why in hell would you only make your sizes wider, but not longer?
This is size L, which would fit only someone who's two feet smaller than me, but at least 50 pounds heavier. Which is great, dont get me wrong, this size is also needed and Im sure there's plenty of outdoorsy women who enjoy it, but let's compare these bibs to mans size L:
why does it fit so much better?
Bibs are a tricky thing, that's why most companies even for just pants produce sizes from S to XL, but in three options - SHORT, REG, LONG. If I could, I'd choose size M (LONG), but the only available option for me was L.
Ok, enough about misfitting size, let's look at the model's pic:
why would you want to have a bib that ends right below your boobs so that the straps squeeze your boobs and the clips mess up your sports bra? This is especially annoying when we look at the mens version where the top is way higher:
TERRIBLE design in the female version, dont know a single female who would enjoy having her breasts squeezed with plastic clasps while snowboarding in a backpack.
Good things - great, cheap goretex. There's nothing better than goretex, additionally with recco, and that's the main reason why I bought these bibs. The pants unzip fully around the waist which is a great idea. Vents - could have more, but I'll take it. pockets - like'em. Color- ok, like'em.
Verdict - returned, size was absolutely a terrible fit. If you can make them fit and work - definitely a buy. If youre taller than 5 feet, probably dont bother ;)
