Ski Diva Extraordinaire
I’m petite- do you have a pic?@WaterGirl mentioned my red Mountain Force jacket to wear with new yellow bibs. I don’t wear it and thought another diva might like it. It was actually a joke!

That's what kept me away from bibs for a long time. Is the side zip on that model just not long enough? The only bib I own is a Rab Chromakinetic, and the side zip can go all the way down to the knee, so I just pull the whole thing sideways and it's not bad at all. Burton (and probably some other brands) have a clever design where the straps all attach to the front side only so they aren't in the way.I bought a ski bib for our winter park trip and will say while it did keep me warm I hated the trips to the bathroom. The zipper and snaps are on the side and was hard to do. I hated trying to hold the straps so they wouldn’t hit the floor or end up in the bowl. Obermeyers - Malta Bib Overalls Lol.
The zipper was just a regular pant zipper but with all your base layers on it was hard to twist and pull up. I also kept my straps attached but they still were in the way. However, the bib did keep me warm. I’m kind of conflicted.That's what kept me away from bibs for a long time. Is the size zip on that model just not long enough?

I feel for you because that was also something that killed me. Good news is that there are bibs that address this issue! Most have long zippers on the side of the thigh that allow the back to drop even more open than my previous bibs. Others have zips across the rear.The zipper was just a regular pant zipper but with all your base layers on it was hard to twist and pull up.

It looks well made. Although similar to the Shred dog/Akova jacket I just got on deep discount. I always wear black pants so it would go.Photos look faded but the jacket is not faded at all. It's barely been worn - mostly b/c I have nothing to go with it. It is so well made.

Do you have measurements? Or a website with measurements?
I also have OR bibs and have worn them for the last few seasons as my warmer weather kit. I also love them! Long side zip and stretchy suspenders make pulling the bibs to the side for the bathroom pretty easy. I second the huge vents which is why I love them when the weather is warmer.I’m a yay! I just bought OR shell bibs this summer and love them! Yes you have a long zipper, either side to quickly run into the bathroom, plus they are a double zip, so they vent as well! I’m now a bib girl because of its ease.
I have 2 pairs of bibs, ODR and Trew both have a zip area on the back for easy access for using the bathroom. FWIW i prefer the ODR bibs but the Trew's keep me more dry on a pow dayI think the more technical of women’s bibs tend to have the drop seat feature. Didn’t @ski diva once do a review of a base layer that would work in such a situation?

Any of you with OR bibs have the Skytour Ascent? Currently on sale for 50% off. I love everything Outdoor research that I own, so thinking about getting a pair. How do they fit? Your size and size purchased would be MUCH appreciated...if yours are the Skytours.Love my OR bibs!
I have the skytour ascent. I love them. They are on the roomie side but not necessarily baggy. For example i had to get a size up for a slightly snugger fit in my Trew bibs. The ODR ones i have are light, they do not keep me dry on powder days though, (hence why i got trews). The ODR have nice leg vents, easy access for the bathroom on the side/back. I love the beacon clip, i use it to clip my wallet and keys in for resort days. I got an XL, im 5'6 maybe 5'7?, size 16 jeans/33in. I'm not a small lady but they fit great, SO comfy.Any of you with OR bibs have the Skytour Ascent? Currently on sale for 50% off.

Roll it and shove it in the back or other leg...then hope you don't roll getting off the can. Lol. It takes some contortions... ;)I bought a ski bib for our winter park trip and will say while it did keep me warm I hated the trips to the bathroom.
