Meh, I'm good for next week with just this.
I like onesies very much but keep it secret as if I show in one on the mountain my so called friends will take off their ski boots and club me to death with them.
FlyLow bibs have weird fit. They basically seem made for sticks, but with baggy legs.Bringing this up to the top... I've got a pair of Medium (short 30" inseam) Flylow Baker Bibs - I normally wear a size 33W 30L or 34W 30L. I probably should have been in a Large b/c when I sit down (charilift/lunch/driving) the bib portion is pulling on my gut way more then I'd like and making any sweat in my baselayers just get clammy. Everyone says Bib's are more comfortable I THINK because they followed the size chart right and they float over the body. I'm tempted to go back to pants - since I LIKE the feeling of a belt around my hips.
But if i follow the size chart correctly maybe the Stio Environ bib with the half heigh and full front zip would work and float correctly? https://www.stio.com/products/mens-environ-bib
cheers
Those rear pant leg cuff cinch cords that raise the back of the pant leg also prevent the cuff from getting caught up in the binding heel piece when stepping in.they also have cords at the back of the legs to cinch them a bit shorter, which is nice if you’re in a muddy parking lot in regular shoes or boots to keep them from dragging in the mud.
Bibs with long side zip are far superior to onesies in this regard.For anyone, especially any woman, who is concerned about going to the bathroom in bibs, make sure you have a pair with a long side zip.
Cop a squat and get on with your day.

Sorry dude, that's on you.Been enjoying a TNF bib the last two seasons. Expands with beer and food consumption. Yesterday, I found a con. Ripped a big one while loosening boots and it got trapped in the bib with the only way of escape being to go up through my jacket and right into my face. Took a good 30 mins of wiggling to get all the smell out with random whiffs for hours after.
OK good to know so maybe all bibs are not sized like this- they are driving me crazy.FlyLow bibs have weird fit. They basically seem made for sticks, but with baggy legs.
ok thanks for the heads up. I ordered both M short and L short stio environ bibs, we'll see when they come in.FYI the Norrona Lofoten bibs run quite slim in the chest. I have had a couple of their Medium sized bibs, and I'm a 32 waist ( 5'8" 160 lbs ). You wouldn't want to be much larger as it can be difficult to zip up the chest part, or you might burst that chest zipper if you bend over. Mine are now 3 years old, so maybe they have increased the fit a bit by now ?
Flylow's men's sizing got a bit smaller a couple years ago. I wore a men's small Baker bib for 3 or 4 years. Tried to order a new pair last year, and the small was too small. Provided I have gained a couple pounds since I first got my original pair...the new ones were distinctively smaller. I ended up getting a medium...which is certainly big on me, but the more I wear them, the more I enjoy the extra space.I doubt even at 168 the flylow bakers would be comfortable around my "true waist" seated with midlayers on. People must just be sizing up.
I tried Flylow Baker bibs in L -xxl in the store, none of them “fit”. All brand fits are not the same. I suspect Norrona are for euro stick bodies.
