I have it and love it, a bit of a longer fit. At 5'9" 185 the L comes down to about mid thigh which is perfect. Comfy and dry so far.

Nah I got a cheaper bib but I’d assume it’s just as high quality. Can’t speak to the fit.

I wear a Trew jacket and pants. They hold up. My pants are at least 3 seasons old so they have some tears at the cuffs. And one hole by the inner thigh vent zipper. but thats it. They last. I really like Trew
