Salopette Pro

This bib pant has a comfortable and athletic fit that runs true to size. The performance fabric is windproof and has good water resistance. The two way fly zipper is a welcome feature, as are the belt loops and the size-adjusting tabs at the waist. To make this a more suitable bib for coaches, I would prefer more functional cargo pockets on the legs, heavier insulation for more warmth on the coldest days, and more padding on the knees. Unlike some coach bibs, this pant is more than comfortable enough for all day athletic skiing.

After only skiing and coaching in the pant twice the stitching blew out in seam and has caused the seam to split and come apart! I will say I am very surprised as my other Sync gear has been fantastic but the pro bib has been a bit of a let down!

I actually returned my new bibs, which is a real bummer because I wanted to like them. The number one reason why I chose to return these bibs is due to the woefully insufficient padding in the knee. It’s not so much the padding thickness as it is the size/coverage area of the knee. The pad itself barely spanned half of the inner portion of my knee and left the outer area completely unprotected. The bibs are otherwise decent.
That said, it would be nice if they had at least two different inseam lengths for those of us that are somewhat vertically challenged so we don’t have to roll the leg cuffs. Three would be ideal (short, regular, tall), but that’s probably asking too much. When you have to roll the cuff because the inseam is too long, it completely eliminates the protective surface that stops edge cutting.
Anyway, that’s my review. Decent pair of bibs that need quite a bit more attention to detail.
