Oh, online shopping. It's a love/hate relationship for many, and for good reason. And when it comes to shopping for your winter outerwear, it can get a bit overwhelming and even a whole lot frustrating when you're trying to figure out 'what bib is right for me' or 'what size jacket should I get'?
Please know that, as consumers and shoppers ourselves, we feel your pain. Which is why we're always trying to find new and improved ways to make the process easier - and more fun! - for anyone who visits our site. This is a continual process: one that we take very seriously and are always thinking about, but also proves to be extremely challenging when trying to create accurate sizing, fit, and product guides for a massive range of people - all who have varying preferences, shapes, and opinions.
We've come a long way in recent years, from the cut and paste size charts to a much more robust offering of articles, comparisons, and detailed information for our customers; hopefully, the below resources will prove helpful for you as you give TREW a try!
The Collection Comparison
We're growing - wahoo! - and with that growth comes the opportunity to build out our product line with more options to fit just what you are looking for. The only downside, though, is that this can create a more complicated process for you when it comes to choosing what to get....but we've been working on ways to best communicate how our different collections and products stack up.
One thing many people have found helpful is our new Collection Breakdown page. See our different collections lined up and in one place so that you can get a grasp on what makes each one unique. We've kept it pretty high-level here just to make sure we don't bog you down with too much info....but if you're interested in really getting into the weeds, our Choosing the Right Jacket/Bib Guides [below] will be for you.
Our 'Choosing the Right ______ for You' Guides
This isn't the first year we've also had extensive articles available for each category of products, but we can confidently say that this years' iteration of each - Men's Bibs, Men's Jackets, Women's Bibs, Women's Jackets - is the best so far in lay out + depth. You'll find a lot of information in these guides, but if you're down for a bit of reading in order to get the right item(s) for you then there is no better place to start.

Our Fit Notes, Size Charts, and customer reviews!
No reinventing the wheel here. Similar to many other online shops, we've built out our product pages to host a plethora of information to assist in your fit, size, and product selection. Our Size Charts are available on each product page and give you a good starting place on our suggested body measurements per size. We also have a Fit section on each product page that specifies the intended fit, any fit note (ex. this bib runs big, this jacket runs small), and includes in-depth model info so that you can line up their measurements and gear size with the images of the product.
On top of this, our customer reviews are possibly the most helpful tool in your arsenal. While some of our newest products won't have a large amount of reviews to look at, our signature collections like PRIMO will have hundreds of reviews from real customers sharing their own experiences with the products - all with detailed info about their body measurements and more.
And finally, there's always Fitted + Kitted
If you're having trouble finding the right gear for you, or you just don't want to read + navigate through everything listed above, then our Fitted + Kitted Quiz is just the thing for you!
Our sizing gurus, Andrew and Jordan, are also on standby to assist with any pressing size or fit questions you might have. Use our Sizing Form here to take advantage of their expertise.
