Bibs.....again

[whyturn]

I came across this thread while researching bibs/pants. People spoke highly of the Norronas so I looked them up and was disappointed to see that they don't seem to have additional material inside the cuff. Have you guys had issues with that area cutting/wearing out?

Mine did on their pro bib

But strafe is really good also and having a big sale

Do the baker bibs fit the same as the chemical pants? I had a pair of the pants some years back, trying to confirm sizing on bibs.

I think so. They are both considered “relaxed fit”. See size and fit on the flylow website. I think the chemical pant is just the pant version of the baker bib

Anyone touring in the baker bibs? I’m looking for 80/20 resort/touring. I like the baker cause it’ll hold up during cold or wet snowy weather at the resort but a little worried they’ll be too heavy duty/stiff/bulky. I’m obviously not looking for a true touring pant with these but still

The Baker Perm is my touring/storm day choice. They are not bulky and run a tad cold. I imagine the Standard Baker would be GTG for your purposes.
Regarding the fit from the other question...I have a large baker perm and a large chemical pant. They fit about the same although the chemical is baggier. I am 5'10" 200-205.

Second on Trew! I really dug their Capow bibs this season, esp for bc. For hot laps, the thigh pockets are great for quickly stashing skins.
Sizing though... I'm 6'1 180 and I somehow wear a Small/regular inseam

I’m XS in Trew vs S in everything else

Well looks like i am stuck with some Black Baker bibs in size large. Something went wrong and i cant return them. Tags still on. Skied one day. No damage. $200 plus shipping if anyone is interested.

Great, thanks for the reply.

Regarding the baker perm vs chemical pant. Interestingly enough the baker perm is listed as regular fit and the baker is listed as relaxed (as well as the chemical) so lines up with what you’re saying. I imagine they are targeting a slightly more touring focused person with the perm which is why they went regular fit instead of relaxed.

I just got a pair of Baker Perm bibs. They don’t fit any less baggy than the tannen bibs I have. Never had the regular Bakers.

Anyone have info on La Sportive Chaser Evo bibs?

The Strafe's are baggy, and a good deal. I would buy a pair, but I'm too old for the baggy, hipster, look.

To old to realize hippster=tight pants.

Bibs are weird. My Trewth bibs were tight some places, like the crotch, baggy others, and long. Now my Flylows are more baggy, and I think i like their fit better. Not a fan of how the snow tends to stick to them though. Oh well

I was all "meh, how bad could the colors be" then I looked. LOL To be fair, it ain't the colors as much as the color design. gross

Noticed another hole in the crotch of my old TNF Futurelight bibs today.... so I am back on the hunt since those are the last ski pants I've got.

In an ideal world I would have two sets of pants, softshell for spring/high output tours & burly 3L bibs for inbounds/Silverton/deep & slow touring/sledding. With winter approaching fast I am leaning towards going burly first. Dedicated beacon pocket (preferably on thigh), venting, ample storage for snacks/other BS, reinforced cuff, neutral colors... I feel like there are a lot of options with all or most these features so I am a bit perplexed on what to get. Flylow seems to still be a popular pick here, the Stash check most of my boxes. Strafe Nomad seems to have those same features as well, any comparison for folks who have had both? Is Strafe worth the extra $$$? Norrona looks interesting too, The Tamok looks plenty burly, but I can get the other brands for cheaper so it is a tough sell unless they are really worth it. Anything I am missing? What are you bib folks riding in this winter?

I had the crotch split on my futurelight that were a bit ripstop textured. Sent them in over the summer and got a $650 gift card for a new pair. Went for the summit series goretex bibs and like them so far. Only two days in them but the pockets are neat.

I really like the nomad Very burly going through tree branches and breathes very well Maybe slightly cooler due to event but great features and fit I had Norrona before but prefer the fit on the nomad being more Freeride

I just got some of the 3L tamok bibs, the fabric is super burly and feels like it will hold up. The design feels good and well thought out. I’m 5’10” 220lbs 36 waist fairly husky but athletic build and the XL fits great.

After digging around I am about to pull the trigger on the Stash Bib from Flylow. https://flylowgear.com/collections/m...48577168638145 Seems like a new product this year, but fits all the boxes I am looking for. Will report back unless I decide against at the last second.
