I really like the convenience of shell bibs with full side zips, I know planks makes some but what other options are there?

nice thanks! I wish they had a pocket on the upper bib part.

anyone have the planks bibs that can comment on fit? the guy modeling them on the website is my size but hes in a medium and I usually wear large pants for a slightly baggy fit

Flylow Baker won't zip completely open, but one side goes from the very top almost all the way down.

I wanna take them off with my boots and skis still on. I wish more companies made the side zips full length

Any reason you wanna be able to take them off with your boots still on? Genuinely curious

Late season I like wearing shorts underneath my bibs so when it gets hot I can just unzip the shells and stuff them in my pack. Also it makes pulling the bibs off at the end of the day when I’m super sweaty easier

I'm 5'9 and wear 30inch waist in pants that actually fit. I had the medium planks bibs and they were loose fit, but definitely not ridiculous. If you're much bigger than me, go large if you want slightly baggy.

I have the Mountain Hardwear FireFall bibs. Full side zip and pretty comfy.
