pants by body type- brand suggestions?

[boodles7]

My Montec Dune pants arrived and they're great. Waist adjusts and slimmer in thighs than other pants I've tried on. Their stuff runs on the larger size so I went down a size and they're perfect.

I also have The North Face Apex pants which I love and are even slimmer in thighs but they're not warm enough on really cold days, hence why I got the Montec. Those run small so I went up a size and they're snug but fit comfortably enough.

Do you think they would be k for curves aka butt and hips? I need high waisted too. Enjoy

They sit higher than my normal pants and I've got hips and they fit me well. Good return policy In the event you wanted to try but be able to return if they don't work for you.

I have a booty and Mountain Hardware pants fit me really well. The waist hits at my belly button and they have enough cut to fit my bottom without having a waist gap. The legs are not super fitted, but also not overly baggy.

I also have the carbide bibs from Outdoor research, and they fit pretty well, but are a tad tighter around my bottom.

Hi. Do you still like the OR bibs? I’m looking at OR skytour Accent ( I think) or Trew. Open to suggestions. I resort ski and don’t want to be cold with unwind bibs but if they have enough room I could layer up.

I love my OR bibs! I have the Carbide bibs which are a lightweight shell. They fit really well even with layers. I generally have a long underwear top and either the OR ascendent jacket or a NorthFace Thermoball that I wear under the bibs. For bottom layers I wear the Patagonia expedition weight long underwear and layer a down knicker over if needed. They fit the layers very well.

Bathroom - they have a long zipper down the right side and stretchy straps so you just undo the zipper and pull the pants to the side. Probably not quite as convenient as a full drop seat, but so far has not caused me any real headaches. The super long zipper is also great for venting.

I really love the extra pockets, the general comfiness and not getting my sides scratched by the velcro adjustments bands in pants.

I have quite a few outdoor research products and really love the way they perform and hold up. Let me know if you have any other questions.

The Snoga/Apex pants from North Face have 4 way stretch - you will probably need to size up a couple of sizes for curves as they are not cut super generously, but the stretchy fabric should keep the leg quite skinny. I'm not sure if they're discontinued now though - stock in stores here tends to linger for several seasons.

I tried and loved these but my god- they run smmmallll!!!!!!!!! maybe I am running big

Do you understand bib weight? Is heavier better or worse? I did try flylow moxie ...and it fit but I wasn't impressed with tge pockets or zipper with velcro.

I think the weight of the bib depends on how you want to use it. My bibs are very lightweight which is great for me because I bought them to be my warmer weather shell pants. I already have an insulated heavier pair of gore-tex pants for colder days.

If you want breathability, then go more lightweight. If you want a bib for colder weather, then go heavier (heavier also tends to be a bit more durable, but so far my bibs are doing just fine).

Hope that helps.
