The North Face Freedom Bib Pant - Women's for Sale, Reviews, Deals and Guides

I got a medium thinking it would be plenty of room, since that is a size up for me on the size chart, but I can't even get it over my thighs even with thin pants on.

Wore this 4x a week Nov-June this year. It's beat up now but she worked great! Not the warmest, but also not a shell- its lightly lined. Solid low budget bib purchase. For spring backcountry, I wish the vents went longer but I understand these aren't designed for that. Loved the pale blue color. Front pockets were handy for CCs, ski pass, phone (my iPhone 11 fit perfectly snug in the vertical open air one when walking around town), and the leg pants never came open. I love this bib. The shoulder straps never came loose. Wore it to the bars on cold nights too ha Shopping for a new one now that can handle backcountry better.

I'm 5'6" in socks, 122 lbs, hips 38", waist 27.5", chest 35" I ordered a small based on reviews online. The small fit like you would want a pair of pants to fit - flattering, hugging rear and hips (with a cotton letting under. It was too tight for activities though (I could have got away with it if someone was loaning me these pants for a day). I need a Medium and anticipate that it will be a bit baggy. I believe the northface measurements include a 38" hip in the Small size, but that's the limit. If you had a 39" hip you would not have been able to wear these - so one nice thing is that the Northface sizing chart seems to be accurate and perhaps, if you're teetering on the edge of two sizes (in terms of hips) size up. I loved the khaki color of these pants and tested them outside in 5 degree F weather just walking around. They insulated very well! When I took them off and tested just the leggings outside, I lasted about 10 seconds. The only thing I didn't like was that you can't easily unzip the back to go to the restroom. I might try the Burton Avalon or Mountain Hardware Firefall Bib.
