Customer Reviews The North Face Freedom Bib

These are great bibs, haven't tested them skiing but I really like the way they feel and fit. I'm 5'4" approx 140 pounds, but I have a 40" hip and thick thighs so I ordered a medium instead of a small despite having a 27" waist. They fit great in legs and butt, but they are loose around the midsection. To be honest, I believe that's how they would likely fit anyways with a small, it is difficult for bibs to be form fitting everywhere. Room for layers everywhere! Love that there are thigh vents and the shoulder straps are stretchy. If you have a big butt/hips, size up! The size chart is really true to size here.

I bought these to use as snow pants so I can play with my children outside during Minnesota winters. They work great for me as they are wind proof and waterproof and offer some warmth. I usually wear leggings underneath for comfort, but I tried on with jeans and they were just as functional. I could bend, sit, and squat without issue. I am 5’9” and 155 pounds, and the medium, regular length is perfect. (I’m generally a 6 or 8 in pants.) I also tried the large, but it was unnecessarily large. Maybe if you plan to layer several pairs of pants to increase the warmth, sizing up from your typical size might be necessary. The extra pockets are well positioned, and I love the articulated knee. I recommend these. The deep blue is a nice color, even with my black jacket.

I've spent the last few years searching for a bib that offered a petite hem (I'm 5 ft. 2 in.), room around the thighs/bum area (I'm curvy; sz 6-8 in bottoms depending on the cut), and that didn't look too much like a child's snow onesie (I'm very much so a tiny looking human) and I found it here! Ordered a medium short, and it fits perfectly for me with a bit of allowance room up top for a thicker sweater or multiple layers. I like how the bib isn't insulated, so you have full control of how warm or cool you want to feel when you're out. There's enough room in the legs and bum area to wear your base layer leggings without having to feel uncomfortable sitting, squatting or stretching out. None of that bunching business either. One thing I didn't expect was that the straps were a lot more stretchy than I had anticipated. Not a deal-breaker, but something to consider if you're looking for stiffer straps.

I love these bibs. Very flattering. Lose fit so base layer easily fits under but still looks good.

Terrible fit. The thighs are extremely narrow/tight. I am normally a size 4 or 6 and cannot even get the medium bibs zipped up over my thighs.

This bib is great. Runs slightly tight so had to exchange for one size up from my normal sizing.

Love these bibs. Perfect for spring skiing when the temps are 40+ with a base layer. Kept me dry. I ordered a size up that usual, as the hip measurement was smaller for my usual size - glad I did as these fit perfectly. Had I ordered my usual size I would've had trouble over my thighs hips and butt. I'm usually a 4 / Small in pants/jeans/leggings etc.

These are the best ski pants I have ever had. If you’re a mom like me with a little tummy pooch, these are the pants for you. They zip on the side so there is nothing to poke or constrict when you bend over to put on, buckle/unbuckle, or take off your ski boots. I’ve had so many pairs of ski pants that have annoyed me so much because they are tight or pokey around my mid-section. These are a dream come true!

Not for thick thighs, you should try them on in person before ordering for sure. Sizing is a bit weird. Otherwise they are good quality but did not get to try them out, ordered a size up

These are some of the only bibs I have found that fit my muscular legs from cycling and my relatively flat chest. My only complaint is that there is no way to drop the back to pee. I really appreciate the short version on the legs. Great bibs for fun spring skiing. Not sure if they will hold up on very cold days but I have the ability to layer.

The cloud blue is a beautiful color but I decided to order black to more easily match the coats I already own. I'm a size 6 and I felt that I could use a little more room in the size M I ordered. Especially when considering bundling with bulkier clothing underneath in cold weather. The look of them is very nice. I would recommend ordering a size up!

I purchased this but unfortunately it never made it through the process it was sold out I was very very disappointed I was looking forward to rocking theses!

These bibs fit true to size and are very comfortable. Plenty of room but don't feel too big. The color is beautiful. I wish I could have found a matching or coordinating jacket.

I really loved this item. I am just in between sizes. the large was slightly small and then xl was a tad big in the waist specifically. it could have worked tho if i needed it to.

True to size and quality construction

Perfect! Wore this on my last snowboarding trip and it kept me so warm and kept snow out when I fell. Would suggest to anyone.

Great bib it kept me warm and dry! i got a medium and im 5'5 140 ish the small fit but just was a little too snug

lit pants

Ski

Love the pantsjust what I wanted. Color, fit, performance.thanks

Fit very comfortably, not too thick to the point I feel like I can barely move, has a good amount of pockets and helped me stay warm and dry. Would recommend to others!

Love the color and the pockets. Fit through hips is a little bit snug, but I've had other ski pants from the north face from years ago and they were at the same size and fit so I wasn't surprised. Very warm, even though they are not bulky at all. I'm 5'2" 140 pounds and got a size medium.

I use this snow bib to go snowboarding and let me tell you this bib is the best as I do not get cold while wearing it. The material is amazing and great waterproof, so the snow does not get to my skin. It is such a cute fit also, this bib is really flattering and looks super cute. I like how they also give you the option for a short size as well due to me being 5'1 the short option was perfect size for me. Overall great quality, would definitely buy again.

Used it for Colorado trip when we went on snowmobiling and snowboarding. Kept me warm and dry.
