686 Men's GORE-TEX® Dispatch™ Shell Bib

Happy

I chose L at 5'10, average / slight dadbod build. It fits well. I had debated XL but L was the right call. It is very slightly long at the ankles when just hanging around in the house but bending and flexing a little it's just right. There is sufficient space for layers underneath. I can't comment on performance yet, but the bibs seem very well constructed, and far better than anything I've had before. They have many thought out pockets/etc, and the GoreTex fabric seems good. Seems similar to an old goretex jacket I have, but as a shell bib it's very light. Brown color is nice - it's different. It's not plain black, but also not as bold as 90's hi viz. Shipping speed and delivery was good.

Bomb proof

Exactly what I was wanting. Keeps me warm and keeps out the snow. Love the leg air vents and pockets particularly the inner chest pocket.

Hold up well in all condition!

I spend a lot of time snowboarding, and traveling in the mountains (especially Mammoth / Eastern Sierra) across variable conditions. I found these bibs, to hold up well in all conditions, great ventilation while touring & I stay dry on deep-powder resort days. Pocket layout is dialed with zippers on all critical pockets, and the fit is nice and relaxed. I’m 5’7 and wear a Large for an extra roomy fit.
