Im looking for some new bibs and my price range is right around 150$ meaning anything from Flylow is out of the budget. Here are my top picks



$140 Dakine Wyeast bib- https://www.campsaver.com/dakine-wyeast-bib-men-s.html?_iv_waist-size=small&_iv_inseam-size=32-in&_iv_code=Z07-AP6-DAK0633-10000637-BLACK-71M-S

$190 Holden Highland bib-https://www.evo.com/outlet/shell-pants/holden-highland-bibs

$200 North Face Freedom bib-https://www.backcountry.com/the-north-face-freedom-bib-pant-mens?CMP_SKU=TNF05P1&MER=0406&skid=TNF05P1-ASPGREBK-MLO&mr:trackingCode=4D8B77CB-01B4-E911-810D-005056944E17&mr:referralID=NA&mr:device=m&mr:adType=plaonline&iv_=__iv_p_1_g_20468850997_c_92885921917_w_aud-785870532879:pla-815948525228_n_g_d_m_v__l__t__r_1o4_x_pla_y_7811_f_online_o_TNF05P1-ASPGREBK-MLO_z_US_i_en_j_815948525228_s__e__h_9028756_ii__vi__&CMP_ID=PLA_GMm001&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=PLA&k_clickid=_k_Cj0KCQjwoqDtBRD-ARIsAL4pviDmrdmD9syTKKxJ21VcBvAX4upSfkfXAOHW7Wl6y-lWRxVdiNU7dQIaAhEBEALw_wcB_k_&gclid=Cj0KCQjwoqDtBRD-ARIsAL4pviDmrdmD9syTKKxJ21VcBvAX4upSfkfXAOHW7Wl6y-lWRxVdiNU7dQIaAhEBEALw_wcB

Dakines outerwear is top notch, pull the plug. I have a shell I bought 4 years ago and it still looks and functions like new

The freedom bib is really good theyve stepped up their outerwear overall, better than the Dakine. The wyeast is good too but the north face freedom is great

Had the Dakine weast for two seasons now. It holds up pretty well.

The waterproofing is pretty solid. It only really let's water through on wet days and it's only really above your knees when you're stuck on a chair. If you've got good thermals then it'll hold up fine.

Only problem with it are the hip pockets are pretty flimsy. I've had the stitching fall a part in both of em from my phone and wallet bouncing around. It's a pretty easy fix with a sewing kit so it's not too big of a deal.

Few other things is that it could do with a couple more pockets and having anything in the bib pocket feels kind of annoying. Also it tapers out at the end of the legs like most snowboard pants but that's just preference.

Overall good set of a bib pants and the price you can get them at makes em a good deal
