Ski Bibs: Yay or nay?

Mary,
How much can you and do you need to layer? Currently I use an insulated pair of North face with either smartwool or a Bracelayer. Seems I might need both in the east.

Depends on the temp and how sensitive you are to the cold. These bibs are unlined and lightweight. I have the warmer version of the Stabilyx tights that I put on first and when it's really cold I layer on an insulated pair of 3/4 pants as well. I love that the bibs are stretchy! The fit nicely too - not too tight and not too baggy.

What a bummer! My REI order of the outdoor research bibs was canceled as they appear to be out of my size.

I'm yay on the ski bibs! I'm a beginner though and do a lot of falling. Before my bib purchase, snow was getting into my pants like nobody's business. I went and purchased the NorthFace Freedom insulated bib in XS and it's so cute! It looks fitted, but I can still fit several layers underneath. On my last outing, I had on a merino wool base layer, a quick dry long sleeve mock neck and a patagonia fleece. No more snow down my pants 
@diymom gave most of the details about the bib, though mine is the insulated version and it's definitely insulated! I don't find it hard to just unzip the sides and pull the elastic suspenders over my head. The only thing I take off is my ski jacket. I found a great deal on it through evo - $100 dollars off!
Evo is so convenient, I can walk to the flagship in Seattle and if I need to order it, regular shipping comes in 2 days since the warehouse is like one city away! Their markdowns are pretty damned good too!

Will they fit hippy ladies? I'm long waisted and a bit wider in the bum than the normal flylow size.

I have both the Sphinx and Foxy bibs. I'm long waisted but not "hippy" and they fit well but not with a lot of room to spare. Both sizes are XSMALL.
BTW, they are on sale at Steep and Cheap now....

I know that's why I'm asking. Evo has Trew on sale too. I'm SUPER bummed after 6 days of waiting REI canceled both my outdoor research skytour bib orders. They finally sent an XL....but they are too big. I like the material a lot too. I wanted the Trew since I own a shell by them (never worn). I have not talked to anyone that actually has them. Also FYI OR will have different colors next year. ;)
