Just back from ski touring for 7 days in Japan where I finally got a chance to adequately evaluate the Capow bib. It was deep, cold and often windy in Japan and the bibs kept me dry and warm despite their light weight. The many pockets are versatile, giving options for where you want to put your transceiver, phone, snacks and assorted other items. The fabric and material were breathable but did an excellent job protecting me from the elements. The overall quality of the construction seems great. I have just a couple of issues with the fit and I realize it's difficult to design clothing for the myriad body types out there but at 5'7" even the short is way too long. Before I have my boots on I have to cuff them a couple of rolls to keep them from dragging on the floor. Once boots are on with gaiters they don't drag but the excess length just bunches up above that. We have a local person here in Boise that can alter technical clothing and I'm going to look into having them shortened but I'm left wondering what height person is the short for? I added a belt to keep the "waist" where it needs to be. A less critical issue is the length of the shoulder straps which I was able to shorten to the length needed but it leaves a lot of excess which I'll also likely address if I can have them shortened.
