Customer Reviews The North Face Freedom Bib

I like the shorter length but not wild about the higher bib. Also, the side zip makes getting out of them not as easy as a front zip would be. Generally, though, they are a good fit - I'm 5' 2", 117 pounds. It's hard to find ski bibs for short ladies and these will do the job.

Skiing

This product will be great to get outside with my kiddos in. I will be able to move around easily and engage with them in the snow and still be warm!

Why is there a side zipper on these? If the straps were detachable, I could see this being a good thing, but they are akward to get on/off with the side zip & the straps. A little tight in the thigh too

I bought both the Freedom Bibs and Freedom Jacket, wanting to love both of them. Disappointingly, both just turned out to be okay. The fit of both pieces was very odd. I am 5'4" and 115lbs the XS bibs were too tight in the thighs but too loose in the butt, and also way too long. The XS jacket was too big; the body felt incredibly bulky and the sleeves way too long. The jacket's hood is also not detachable, which I did not realize at the time of purchase but something I want in my ski coat. I thought this was going to be my new ski set, but sadly it will be going back.

Even though this was size small, it was really big round the back and hips and bottom. My daughter is slim with narrow hips and it was just far too roomy for her despite the length being the right size.

I've had these bibs for a little while, and despite the odd fit (tight in the thighs and very loose on the calves) I haven't minded them and they've been good for skiing - they're pretty warm. However, they are NOT waterproof as stated in the description! Recently skied in the PNW in the rain and my entire legs were soaking wet - the rain soaked through the snowpants and everything my inside my pockets was also wet. Had some damage to my gear which is really frustrating. I don't know why these are advertised as waterproof when they aren't!!!!!! Slightly water resistant, maybe, but NOT waterproof at all.

would order a size up

These are cute but too narrow in my thighs that I would not be able to wear leggings underneath. I wanted to love them but wont work for me.

I wanted these to work but the sizing was totally off. I am normally a medium which was on par with the north face sizing chart. I order a large and medium to be safe and the large was way to tight on my thighs. Now I have ordered an XL in hopes that it works and is not too big up top.

I really like the appearenace of this bib but it's a bit underwhelming and ripped on my first wear. It's a bit thinner than expected, which actually does help in terms of layering but it's not super warm on its own. The fit was a bit small for curvier women, I had issues with getting the size correct particularly around my thighs so I sized up making the bib itself a bit more baggy.

I wish these were warmer for the weight. Definitely need a good base layer or two

Great bib and it is very comfortable. I just wish it was stronger and made from better materials. The bib ripped very easily and now it's worthless to me because it leaks in water.

Very cute! Not water proof, not warm. Great for casual outerwear.

I ordered these snow pants because I wanted to treat myself. I'm typically a medium in all leggings and size 8/10. I ordered a large for extra room/layers and they are snug in the hips. I'm glad I didn't get my typical size but if you a have a medium to large size booty size up for sure. Other than that can't wait to test these slopes.

Now that I’ve tried this on, I’m shocked to reread the glowing reviews. I’m petite and generally a small 4 and this thing looked terrible on me. Also it has zippered vents in weird places, like the inner thigh, where it seems like having zippers would be super uncomfortable and odd looking. I couldn’t get a layer of clothes comfortably in this and they were only lightly lined. Just generally the zippers and belt loops felt like they were all oddly placed. I really wanted to like them but decided to return them.

Sizing is a disaster! I got S first because that's my usual size but the hips were so tight! It fit, but definitely wouldn't be able to snowboard with it. I returned and got size M and it didn't feel too different around the hips. Overall it was more loose but the hips still felt restricted. I returned and got a different brand.

I ordered the black pants and did not care for the way they gathered in bunches around my leg. Also, the material felt like plastic. So I returned.

The print on the jacket and pants did not match. Also Large was too small and XL a bit too big.

Was good, but I felt a cool breeze and realised the bottom had ripped, so maybe not good if you're crashing on the mountain all day and are doing a lot of moving and bending. But they looked great, until then.

There was not enough room in the hips on these bibs so had to return them.

Really wish there were these color options in insulated bibs

very tight in the thighs even with the size up

After a short walk, the inside of the legs (where it's strengthend with thicker material) got worn. Also the lower part of legs is worn. The cordura-like material used isn't durable at all.

Fit curvy girls well, fitted look, but easy to move in, stylish. But I skied in them 6 times and they ripped on the butt area already.
