Awesome!
I searched and researched for a pair of wool bibs. The sheer range of wool clothing prices and products on the market can make one pull his or her hair out but I decided to try these since almost every review I read whether on this site or one of the other "big outfitters", were positive. I bought them and they were EXACTLY what I was hoping for, warm, comfy, roomy but not too big, true to size, just perfect! Make sure you order according to their sizing chart, I am 6'4'', 220lbs and I got the XL and it fit perfect. They come full length, unhemmed so you can fit your own length!!! I love that! I chose the snow camo for Arizona.

Love it.
I bought the bib and the jacket for a late fall/early winter camping trip in Montana at the base of the rockies. It was supposed to be snowy and near 0 but Montana weather did what it wanted and it was actually around 45 during the day. This gear was way too warm for that kind of weather. As long as you are sitting its not terrible wearing the full gettup but as soon as you get moving you definitely will work up a sweat pretty fast. I ended up needing just the jacket and even in the early morning when it was closer to freezing I'd have to layer down after the steeper climbs. Since then I've worn the full gettup during a pretty heavy snow storm + 40 mile an hour winds with a set of thermal underwear on underneath. I could feel the wind getting through a little bit but still felt comfortable and only got a little chilly even when sitting and being inactive for over an hour. Im not sure what the temp was that day, i think low 20s. I get cold pretty easily so the average person could probably handle more and still be comfortable. Another pro for these pants is the material is completely quiet, and its wool so they keep you warm even if you get wet. The material does catch some stickers but not nearly as bad as some of the material my hunting buddies were wearing, so I would say that is another pro.
For sizing i think they run just a little big. I am a 5 ft 6 inch girl and weight about 145 lbs, average build. I got the medium pants because thats what i usually wear for men's outerwear but with these I have an extra 3 or 4 inches on either side of my waist and the suspenders are cinched to as short as I could get them. If i was going to do it over again i could probably fit in a small a little more comfortably but even in these I am able to move around in them perfectly fine. Great gear.
