Customer Reviews The North Face Freedom Bib

It was way too big, so I'm ordering a size down. But I love the idea of bibs that will fit my short square frame. I also really love that The North Face is making women's ski pants for women who have hips and are not 5'10". I was attending a North Face ski camp at Whistler in 2015 (?) and we all complained about the fact that none of the companies were making ski pants that fit. We were all kind of taking out our sewing machines and making them shorter, wider, buying suspenders, etc. This is awesome. I can't wait to get the new ones that I'm pretty positive will fit perfectly for spring skiing with room for a Rainier.

Really comfortable and great ski pants! Love the color. They do fit a little small!

Perfect fit. Great for a day on the hill. Good price for a basic bib.

I love these bibs! I will say size up though, I was on the small side of a medium and still needed to size up to a large. Otherwise I love these bibs.

Great bib! I have used a handful of times on the mountain. Mobility is awesome. They have kept me dry and warm.

I got this bib after my all black one had a defect. I preferred the feel of the all black. This patterns fabric is a little more cheap feeling but is very cute. True to size.

These Bibs were great! Kept me dry and warm. They are a little big around the waist, it would have been nice to have some cinch Velcro around the waist (like the mens freedom bibs) but other than that I really liked them. I sized up to give myself room to layer (5"6' 157 lbs athletic build).

Loved the color so much! I ordered an XL, and I normally wear a L. The hips were way too small, I'll have to order a XXL. :(!

The colors and thickness are great! Great for a Massachusetts winter and skiing. I'm glad they have a short option, but the legs are still pretty narrow. I had to size up from a M to a L and the legs are still pretty snug and the top half is baggy (I'm 5' 2" and 145lbs, usually wear a M).

Great bibs, they fit true to size and perform great in all conditions! Size S length R.

Good versatility. Enjoy the subtle color scheme. Little too long for shorter legs.

Bought these for my daughter in a small, short. She's 5' and the length and size are not too large, yet give her some room to grow. They do their job at keeping her dry, and even though they aren't insulated, she hasn't complained about getting cold. The color shown is not the true color. The pockets and inside are lavender, but the rest definitely is not, its more of a mauve, which I don't care for. We got a decent sale on these, otherwise there's nothing really brag worthy.

I purchased these last year for ski season. While I was researching bibs very few companies offered XLs let alone anything above that. Due to the lack of size range offering from other brands, larger size options was the main driver for purchasing these bibs along with affordability (was trying to stay under $300). I'm about 5'7" and 200lbs with a more athletic build. I normally wear an XL but purchased the XXL regular inseam to allow room for base layers and like a little extra room to move. I was pleasantly surprised with the fit. They fit my torso length well and the inseam is just right. These aren't the warmest bibs if you are expecting a really chilly day on the mountain. I compensate with a ridiculous amount of base layers (I also run cold). I would suggest trying out the insulated version (wasn't available at the time of purchase or I would have went with those). Other than bone chilling days these were great. One feature I had really hoped to find in a bib was a drop seat. Using the restroom in these feels like an absolute chore by the time I'm done removing my shell, mid layers, and the bibs. The bibs held up well through last season and am about a week away from breaking them out for this season. Overall, this is a great curvy girl friendly affordable option for hitting the mountain without breaking the bank.

As an aging (middle aged) skier whose midsection seems to be growing, I appreciate the comfort of these bibs as compared to my old Freedom insulated ski pants. The only negative I see is that the suspenders are made of elastic. True to size - which is to say the fit of the legs fits like ski pants, so size up if you want an overall baggy fit.

Great color! & perfect fit! They are lightweight and perfect for my upcoming ski days!

they are OK. Some insulation would be a nice touch

I snowboard in these snowpants, I wanted a bib style to keep everything streamlined and they look so cute! Very flattering and fun. The snowpants are also not too tight in the legs, which makes it easy to wear base layers underneath.

The fit was off for the womens' bibs which was unfortunate and I was unable to exchange because they were all sold out. However, from what I could tell - they are great bibs!

Love the fit of these snow pants!

Love how warm these are able to keep me. They're a little on the long side. Im 5"6. I might have been able to wear the short size but they were out of stock.

Very happy with purchase. I am 5'3" 135lb and the short bibs fit perfect.

Usually wear a size L in pants but decided to buy a bigger size based on the reviews.... they're Huge!!!! Love all the details and pockets but they are too long and too wide! I wear L regular in Oakley no problem but the regular inseam of these is too much. I'm 5'2 and 10/30 in pants.

These are so great! I just received them and haven't put them into action yet, but they are super comfy and a great fit. I'm 130 lbs, 5'7" and usually wear a 4 or 26, and the small fits perfectly. The slim fit is super cute and flattering. The straps are super stretchy, allowing the bibs to conform to any movement without them riding up. The pockets are awesome! Hand pockets have a fleece lining and are very warm. The 3 chest pockets are also very functional and the cargo pockets are designed well so that anything inside won't jiggle around or look bulky. My only complaint is that the photo online makes the teal look a lot more bright than it is in person. Its more of a royal blue/ navy. My jacket is a navy pattern and I was hoping for some contrast, but I'm excited about them nonetheless :) esp for the price point compared to gore-tex bibs!

the fit was fine, but it's not as well insulated as my old ski bibs - returned for that reason. Also, I have boot warmers and the pants just barely missed fitting over the battery packs that clip onto the top of my boots.
