Heck yeah for the OR Hemispheres bib! I get comments on how awesome these are all the time and let me say THEY ARE AWESOME. The goretex stretch makes for an amazingly mobile experience, its the most lightweight shell I've ever owned, and it fits perfectly. I'm 5'2", 130 lbs, and with a 30" inseam I have a hard time finding clothes that fit well but these bibs fit me like someone took my measurements before making them. Trew and Dakine tend to be thin in the legs (Cmon! We might be ladies but we are SNOWBOARDERS, our thighs get big) and OR's managed to be nice and spacious while still making my butt look good ;-) I will say that the stretchy spots tend to be a little more ... breathable ? ... and sometimes I notice a bit of a breeze in the crotch area. Nice and dry, though! If I could change anything it would be to change the cut of the upper section from being strictly rectangular to being a bit more angled -- I like the diamond cut between the suspenders that Trew does and I think this bib could be a bit less material in the torso.

PNW waterproof with excellent venting and stretch for the uphill. Pockets! Beacon, chapstick, & gummy snacks all get their own pockets! Bibs are warm, but very breathable. The most impressive feature is the fact that I can pee with ease and grace in BIBS... something I thought was not possible before. Smart and quality design!

I've been wearing men's bibs for so long and I am thrilled OR came out with these. The drop seat is so great for in-the-woods peeing. They're super light weight and a good fit. I'm 5'6" with short, muscular legs and 145 pounds and medium is fine. I was concerned that it was a little tight through my mid section/butt, but I've not ever felt restricted while snowboarding. It's a little snug to pull the cuffs over my boots, but it goes.

I bought these for powder days, and they have performed perfectly to expectations. Overall great fit. I am 5'10" with more leg than torso and they are the perfect length. The pockets are functional but not bulky. Very waterproof, even in a wintry mix ;) the side zipper is everything; able to pee discreetly without even taking my skis off. Also vent well for uphill travel. Hope to rock these for years to come!

I got these bibs for ski touring and used them for the first time recently. I absolutely love having a beacon pocket! Now I don't have to deal with my harness being too big for me even when tightened all the way. The fit of these is great and I love the venting options and the drop tail for easy potty breaks. And, thank you for making a pair of women's pants that have plenty of useful pockets. I was deciding between the Hemisphere bibs and another brand's similarly priced bib-pant for women and I'm so happy that I went with these.

I just wore these bibs for the first time touring and they were absolutely incredible. The fit was perfect and I loved how stretchy and comfortable they were both for the up and the down. The side zippers are crucial for these bibs as I was able to go to the bathroom without taking off my jacket! I will be wearing these bibs as my every day snow pant both in the resort and backcountry. If you are a lady shredder looking for a comfortable and functional bib don't look any further!

These bibs rock, and are well worth the $$. Combines all of the best features of many different bib models. And the blue is so pretty

I'll admit- I was a little bit skeptical about bib pants for backcountry ski pants, but was pleasantly surprised. The ease of peeing with these puppies was one of the things that struck me most! All you have to do is reach into your jacket a little ways, undo the side zipper on the bibs and get into position. Can be done with backpack and gloves on. The bibs almost self gather your shirt and layers back into themselves as you rezip- so there's no bothersome re-tucking in of shirts, jackets etc. If you have poor circulation in your hands or the weather is nasty, you're less likely to take care of your peeing needs cuz you don't want to remove gloves or deal with a fly, belt, tucking in, blah blah blah. So, turns out, ease of peeing really makes a big selling point for the bibs! Also, because the bibs cover your lower back, you don't worry about getting snow up your back. The fabric is softer and more comfortable than other hard shell fabrics, there are good pocket options, there are good leg zips for venting, and the fit is comfy. I'm 5'8" and about 145 lbs, wear a medium and the fit seems true to size.

Love this bib! So easy to pee with stretchy goretex to help with the one zipper side zip access, you don't even have to open up your jacket! I don't want to wear anything else skiing. I have tested this bib pant in all conditions. Really performs well in wet weather and breathes enough in warmer weather to be really versatile, plus so many great venting options. I feel cute in these bibs. They are this great combo of freeride chic, with traditional alpine tech feel. So lightweight too. The pockets on the chest and thigh area area are key, I use them all the time for chapstick, sunscreen, maps, food, money, lift tix, etc. I could go on and on. Highly recommend.

These bibs are a treat. Not only are they fashionable, but they fit well and are quite comfy. One of my favorite features on them is the thoughtful zipper placements. The placement of these zippers makes it really easy to go to the bathroom in the backcountry. The pants are also quite versatile- I wore them touring all last winter, as well as, inbounds. If you are looking for one pair of ski pants these will get the job done. I was also quite impressed with their ability to withstand weather. I highly recommend these pants to any female out there.
