Flylow Baker Bib

Thoughts on Flylow Baker Bibs? I have obviously heard a ton about them, but just curious on your thoughts on if they are worth the money. I ski about 50 days a year, mostly in the east but typically get one trip out west. I am also 6ft 190lbs, I should go with the Large right?

I sell them in my shop and I can tell you it is by far the burliest pair of bibs/pants you'll ever buy. They'll literally last forever. They have a big fit so don't size up too much even if you like it baggy. Large will probably be stellar for ya I'd reckon, with XL being a real baggy fit.

This is all facts. I got my baker bibs last winter and used them 100+ days for work, resort riding, and touring and they look they are barely slightly worn. Get some goretex patches on amazon for $10 and these could definitely last over 10 seasons. For reference I have Houdini bibs, Mountain Hardwear, and Northface and none of them come close in quality or functionality of my baker bibs. As a bonus they look fucking dope too. Can't say enough good things about them.

I ran a pair of these last winter and they lasted about 50 days before the ankle cuffs got completely shredded

I'm biased but my first and current pair went two seasons straight, and they're still in good condition. I ride them resort and every time I go touring. I ski a lot and definitely put some wear on them. They have some cuts at the bottom of my pant leg from ski edges but it's on the Carhartt material.

They're bomb proof in my experience.

I'm also 6ft 190 and wear the XL, but it's a baggier fit. You should fit a large perfect.

What is the inseam like...do they drag all over the place?

I'm basically the same size and wear the small, they are roomy in the mid section and legs and fit well at the top. The straps could be slightly shorter.

I lied. I just double checked and actually wear a medium. But they're pretty damn big fs. I don't really have an issue with them getting caught in my bindings or anything and when I'm not skiing I have them rolled up anyways. Honestly perfect level of sag, comfort, and usability for me. If you're my size and want a lil sag go for the medium

I couldn't agree more with the posts in here. It's hard to find a bib that exactly sized properly and that doesn't feel like it will fall apart after 1 season. +1 to the baker bib train

I’m 6’1” and 200lb, 36 inch waist. Just snagged a XL Baker bib for 40% off. Should I have gone with the L?

I’m just about the same size as you at this point, and I got the large. It fits pretty snug, not in a bad way, but I think the xl would just be a little on the baggy side.

XXL. they might be a bit baggy but i'm guessing the bib will fit your upper body and waist fine. if you get any smaller i think the waist might be too small (i prefer to have a looser fitting waist on bibs)

for reference i'm 5'10 180lbs and the large fits a bit small around my waist, but the legs are still a little baggy and the bib fits perfect on my upper body. next pair i get will be xxl but i like baggy pants.

Things wet through after 2 seasons. I guess truly waterproof gear just doesn’t exist.

Clean them, they get washed off/blocked with dirt.
