Absolutely love these bibs in terms of quality, feel of the fabric, weather protection. It was between these and the fly low baker bibs… these are much more substantial, better choice for resort. I would not want to tour in them both because of the weight and the cut of them (on me at least) has somewhat restricted hip flexion (I.e. stepping up makes the bibs feel like they are bunching up). All of that is fine by me since I bought these for resort only and they are excellent for that.

The real gripe with these is the shoulder strap buckle. They loosen up with constantly, more so with bending at the waist but even just with walking. Customer service acknowledged this issue with certain body types, but I’m hard pressed to conceive of a body type this wouldn’t happen with. I actually passed a guy in the lodge last weekend who was fiddling with the straps on his Trewth bibs and we shared a moment of mutual frustration. FWIW, he lives in a very different body type. His bibs were also from last season, so this has been going on for a while.

The strap issue is easily fixed with some basic sewing skills, but IMO high end bibs should stay put without readjusting the shoulder straps after every run. Trew was prompt in responding and agreed to fix the issue at the end of the season, but come on…

Strap issue aside these bibs are awesome and despite the above frustrations I’m a huge fan.

This is like my 4th pair of bibs over the years from Trew, and I love the fit. It is always the best fitting and most functional ski bib I have ever worn. always great color styles and I like the little mogul knee block color on this years bib.

Small Short fits my Asain body exceptionally well. Really love how it fits my legs, just like other said, its roomy but not too baggy. The fabric is 10 out of 10. Customer service is superior. Its one of the best snowboarding gear I have ever owned. There are 2 small things I would like to point out.

1) If you uses a belt, it creates presure near the crotch zipper area and tears the tape inside( see pic)

2) The plastic buckle doesnt hold the shoulder strap very well. If you fall pretty hard, the buckle may damages your chest.

I get stopped all day at the lift with people giving props for my purps kit!!

Love the color... material is burly very waterproof and breathable. Tons of great pockets too.
