Unfortunately I have not!Mary…have you ever seen outdoor research ski jackets? I’m wondering what they are like. Great sales…
I have the Outdoor research Carbide shell and I love it! Fantastic quality, great fit for me, great attention to detail and plenty of pockets. It goes over my bottom and fits over my hips (which are curvy) very well without being huge in the chest/arms. The one thing that I have read in reviews and agree with it that the zipper can sometimes be a bit hard to start. To me, it's not a big problem and the benefits of the jacket definitely outweigh this one minor flaw.Mary…have you ever seen outdoor research ski jackets? I’m wondering what they are like.

Can you fit a thick, or two layers under the moxie? I want to wait for next years OR Skytour new colors but the flylow sales are killer. I don’t think the Sphinx would fit me with an added layer.

I have both the Foxy and the Sphinx. They both run small but I can easily wear a base layer and wool zip top under both. I understand the Moxie is not as fitted.Can you fit a thick, or two layers under the moxie? I want to wait for next years OR Skytour new colors but the flylow sales are killer.

But you are thin.I can fit my cw-x tights and an added thick Hot Chillys fleece layer under my Moxie bibs on very cold days.
I can fit thick fleece layers under my Foxy bibs...the Moxie would be similar with slightly more room. But, I sized up from my "normal" size. I'm normally a medium bottom, and I couldn't get the medium Foxy over my hips (they're built really slim). I could get the Moxie on in a medium, but didn't have much extra room (just enough for a thin layer). I ended up getting a large with a short length in the Foxy...they're amazing. So, if you're in between sizing, or want extra space for layers, I would consider going up a size and down to a "short" length (unless you're tall and need the extra length anyways).Can you fit a thick, or two layers under the moxie?

This is one of the reasons I love bibs, you can wear them big in the waist and it doesn’t matter…I find it more comfortable to have a loose fitting waist rather than a pant that needs to stay up and can’t be loose. I feel a lot more comfortable skiing without needing to keep layers tucked in, or feeling any restrictions on the waistline. I’m often between sizes and will choose the loose waist over tight thighs/butt anytime.Unfortunately, I'm between small and medium for most brands, and they're either a little snug in the thighs (and/or hips) in a small or huge in the waist in medium.
Well, you originally asked the layering question of @santacruz skier who is in the slimmer cut models and also much tinier than I am.But you are thin.
You are quite small too!Well, you originally asked the layering question of @santacruz skier who is in the slimmer cut models and also much tinier than I am.
The reason I have the Moxie is because I couldn’t fit in the slimmer cut Foxy.
I'm at the other end of the spectrum so hard to say.. My Foxy's fit great but think the snuggest point is in the waist. I also have the Sphinx as wanted a little insulation. Those seem snugger than the Foxy's. My understanding is the Moxy's are a fuller cut. Think @lisamamot has the Foxy's and she is tall.@santacruz skier and @MissySki I really want to get a bib after reading this thread. I am thinking about either Flylow Foxy or Moxy, as you know I am tall at 6'1'' and have small waist big hips. Do you think I have to go for Moxy to accommodate the hips? Or can I get away with Foxy. According to flylow size chart it looks XL should more then accomodate my hips, and I like the more fitted cut of Foxy bib and the color available in XL, just worry about room for layering since it's a shell bib.
Alice’s black bibs are Flylow Foxy and she is curvy and I think a little taller than I…maybe you should check in with her on sizing. She loves hers from what Margaret/Mom says.@santacruz skier and @MissySki I really want to get a bib after reading this thread.
