Durable, breathable, feature rich, versatile

I purchased a set of these for my resort bibs and mid winter backcountry touring bibs. I am currently in my second season with them and am very pleased. I've bushwacked through countless trees with them and there are no tears or snags. They breath quite well given the durability and amount of waterproofing. Last spring I ran them a few times sans bib tops for late spring slush days at the resort, increasing their versatility year round. The bib tops are well thought out with pocket placement as well. If Beringia offered an optional "low top" zip on bib made out of softshell material only these would be my only pants/bibs for resort and backcountry year round!

True to Size and Fit for Life

I agree with the earlier reviewer that these are outstanding. I do not agree on the fit. I'm a 6'2" 200lb mid-50s guy with a 36+ waist and the Large fits me great. I tried on the XL and they were pretty huge. It may be a style choice, but if you want them to fit with a minimum of fabric to catch crampons, I think these are true to size.
I liked the pockets, especially the right chest which allows for easy and secure storage of a cell phone. I think I took more pictures due to this feature. The other features are great: I like the mesh back to the bib portion and the fabric is truly next level in terms of quality, hand and movement. I have some great other bibs (very old dead bird Gamma salopettes I still use, and some old Alpha bibs). I like the Ortovox and Narrona bib offerings too. But these are the favorites. I would still opt for something else for really light options in warmer weather (full size zips come in handy then), but really enjoyed these this winter and believe the search is over. These are the bibs you're looking for...

Thoughtful Design Matched with Premium Materials.

About 10 days in my St. Elias bibs, both in the backcountry and at the resort. I can say with confidence these are the best bibs I have ever owned.

The pocket locations and various zippers are all perfectly placed, each serving a valuable purpose in the backcountry. The thigh pockets are the right size for a beacon, extra gloves or snacks. High quality elastic straps have a nice range of adjustment. Did not realize how much I would appreciate the fully separating top and bottom until put into use, it works great. The material kept me fully protected on a cold chairlift but was light and breathable when touring. The lower cuffs even held up well to some nicks via crampons while ice climbing.

I would say they run a bit small, I'm 6'2" 175lbs and glad I went with the XLs.
