Context: 5’5”, 150ish lbs. Purchased a Medium. Also purchased the Trillium jacket. Skied in these 40+ days between last season and this season. All resort skiing (i.e., no backcountry), primarily in northern VT. Very little skiing in the trees, a true test of durability.

Fit: I love the looser, non-constricting fit. The bibs were a little long on me, but not problematically so with ski boots on. I would have needed to return them if I were any shorter.

Design: I wish one or both straps could unbuckle. It’d make going to the bathroom easier, especially without needing to remove helmet + goggles. That said, it’s nice not having hard plastic dig into my chest. Good pockets.

Function: Kept me warm. During colder temps in VT, I wore base layer + Trillium bibs down bottom and then base layer, Arcteryx Atom LT hoodie, and Trillium jacket up top. At my coldest, my fingers and toes gave up before my legs or core felt noticeably cold. Not particularly waterproof. Skied a handful of wet days. Got wet in 2-4 hrs, depending on the exact conditions. My base layers weren’t saturated or anything, but moisture was certainly coming through. The bibs and jacket were pretty heavy from how much water they absorbed.
