Why We Like The Ourdoor Research Carbide Bib Pant
We appreciate the fact that Outdoor Research created the Carbide Bib Pants for some of the snowiest days of the year, and outfitted them with stylish Arcade belt webbing suspender straps. Waterproof, breathable protection comes in the form of fully sealed seams and a 3-layer Pertex Shield construction, while a multitude of pockets carries everything from our wallet and phone to trail maps and avalanche beacon. Plus, OR even gave these bibs a Swing Hatch to help us answer nature's call when we're in the middle of a powder run.

Tight thighs
I used these bibs for backcountry skiing last year in the Colorado Rockies, and they are great for the warmer days where you still want to wear bibs. However, they're not the most windproof nor warm. These are great spring time bibs. My main complaint is that they are very tight in the thighs, loose in the chest. The tight thighs make putting a beacon in the thigh pocket uncomfortable. Unfortunately the beacon clip is also in the right thigh pocket. One of the best things about these gloves are the high cuff guard. They go up to about my upper calf, whereas most cuff guards only go up to the mid calf. If you wear crampons, this helps because I frequently catch my crampons on mid-calf area when going up steep terrain on other pants. For context, I am 6 ft, 225lbs with massive thighs, and tend to run warm. With these pants, I don't like to keep things in my thigh pockets. I think a redesign of the thigh pockets would make these pants 10/10. I thought the Cirque II sizing is the best for leg room.

Lightweight, breathable, waterproof
Been using these for one year about 75% resort 25%, total of 60+ days. They show minimal signs of wear. Love how lightweight yet waterproof these are. One complaint is they are a little tight in the knees and thigh

Great bibs. I’ve always skied with no. Insulated pants and a base layer. Super happy with them! They seem pretty versatile for multiple winter activities.

These are super comfy! Very thin, though, need multiple layers underneath. I am in between a M & a L, glad I got the L.

The bibs are fine but you'll need to size up unless you're rocking legs like twigs

great for bird legs
I had to get a large, short. Doing squats and working out made the thighs to tight for last season's medium. They are my go to bibs for ice climbing and teaching skiing on the rain days. Pertex is lighter and better than the new gore stuff. Ilike the big chest pocket and the beacon clip Would like to have full length zippers!

Nice bibs
Seem like good bibs, a bit on the thin side so may tear but have held up well so far this season

Size chart is awful.
Go big or don’t order. I ordered based of my size which would have been a medium. They are not even close to fitting. Way too small.
