Title says it. These pants look pretty sweet, baggy fit, lightly insulated, Gore-Tex, and zip on/zip off bibs. Only problem is that all the reviews I can find are for the Monkeywrench Jacket. Anybody use/used these pants and have something to say? Size of you vs pants? Durability? Really anything helps and thanks in advance.

You Really willing to spend $500 for pants??? They look really solid, but I couldn't justify spending that much dough on pants. I could buy skis instead

This doesn't really seem like the Sweet Protection demographic.

Well, i need gore-tex pretty bad considering I spend most my time in the PNW and there are some places near me that carry them on sale around now. As well, I'm open to suggestions for other loose fitting goretex bib pants.

Haven't used any of Sweet's outerwear but have heard good things. Flylow Baker Bibs, Arc'teryx Stinger Bib, Patagonia Powslayer Bibs, Armada Basin pant, and Strafe's Northwoods bib would all be worth a look in that price range. You can find a few of those on sale right meow too.

Sweet Protection stuff is bomb proof, I've been wearing that stuff pretty much since they started making outerwear.
