I tried really hard to love these bibs, but they honestly have a long ways to go as far as sizing and fit. I ordered an XL, knowing I needed some extra space postpartum, but I was swimming in them. The legs were way too long & although my puff jacket fit underneath, even with the straps sinched all the way I just couldn’t wear them in the field and risk tripping all over myself while running our hunting guide boats. I sent them back and ordered a L, which barely zips around my waist. I’m very disappointed as it’s so difficult to find sturdy, true gortex bibs for women. I hope Sitka works to re-size these bibs to better fit the female body. As a hunting guide in Alaska, having good comfortable gear is vital to our operation. It’s unfortunate it has taken so long for Sitka to design more gear for women.

PSA These are designed for tall skinny girls. I’m 5’6 170 and had a medium which was a great length but way too tight. The large I now have I can fit a hoodie comfortablely in but have to roll up the pant legs. Only other downfall is pant leg zippers. Maybes it just my pair (3 years old) but I’ve struggled with not being able to re zip after opening in the field. Other then that if you can find a size that somewhat fits they’re great bibs.

I’m a petite woman and love the fit of these! I am 5'3 and 110lbs with short legs. Other than they’re long (which I don’t care) they fit great. I can layer with sweatpants underneath for extra warmth and they repel water as expected. They’re noisy but who cares, for bird hunting you don’t need to be quiet.

The fit of these is terrible for women. The legs are abnormally large and the crotch hangs to my knees which makes packing blinds and decoys in and out of fields miserable. I have the shoulder straps cinched all the way up. I really, really wanted to love these, but I can't. I have given up on them. Positives: They are warm and have lots of pockets. I love 98% of what Sitka offers, but this design has a long, long ways to go.
