Bibs for bigger dudes?

Looking around for bibs this season and have tried on some stuff and just felt like a sausage stuck in a casing. It's not even my stomach that's the trouble. Like a lot of these xl-xxl bibs people make seem to be to stick thigh no butt dudes. Which is fine but that's not me. I can get in to these bibs but can't lean over or move in them.

So far I have tried, North Face, Saga, Bloom, DC, and Burton and couldn't find anything comfortable. Any recommendations or do I just need to buy pants and get over it?

My stats are:
5' 8"
200lbs

36 waist
xxl tshirt is loose xl is tight.
I got a big butt from all these squats and lunges I do.

go ahead and roast me but there gotta be other people on here have this same issue?

Yeah I've never been able to rock bibs because of the same shit, lots of ski stuff is made for skinny people. I've been a big fan of the suspenders, doesn't keep you warm like bibs but I don't get cold very often anyway.

I've got a friend that is a bit bigger and he has nothing but good thing to say about his Virtika bibs.
I also have a pair but I'm a string bean.

My fellow dude,

EVO.com has a filter function. Go to Ski > Ski Pants & Bibs and there is a filter all the way at the bottom where you can choose "fit", select loose and you'll get the roomiest of outerwear.

https://www.evo.com/shop/ski/pants/mens/fit_loose

Also, not a employee or advocate of Evo you can identify the pants you want this way though.

thank you all for the suggestions. Def will get pants and suspenders so I at least have something to start the season and will try out the rest of these bibs. I will be in PDX soon so a visit to evo would be good.
