Comments about Men's Third Reef Bibs:
These bibs are reasonably lightweight but clearly are durable and well constructed. Because my legs are short (30" inseam) I needed a size "Small". But my waist is 34" so the bibs are snug. This is fine because they are built with an elasticated waist back. However, someone with 36" or bigger waist might find the sizing too tight, and should go for the "Medium" turning up the leg cuffs if needed. They are not likely to accommodate wearing pants underneath - - boxers are probably the way to go.

Comments about Men's Third Reef Bibs:
I purchased these to be in the rain and found they are not waterproof, or even that repellent. After being in the rain for about an hour water got through. I would understand if it was heavy rain but it was just a constent drizzle. They won't work for a heavy water enviroment.

Comments about Men's Third Reef Bibs:
from the description I wasn't so sure about the zipper but it's backed by an inner water proof panel; no water is getting in; that's for sure.
Well constructed, good for dingy use.

Comments about Men's Third Reef Bibs:
I love the fit and durability; easy to get in and out of; fit over boots nicely; very good looking; improvements could be belt loops or "D" rings and a fly on the men's.

Comments about Men's Third Reef Bibs:
Bought these bibs this season. Finally got some rain on a race night yesterday. The pants performed admirably! They are comfortable, not too hot, durable, and they kept me bone dry. I would definitely recommend these to others. Also, the bright yellow colour looks pretty snazzy.

Comments about Men's Third Reef Bibs:
I sail usually one to two nights in the week each week in the summer. Got sick of getting soaked on the rainy/blowy nights, so got some bibs. They are well made, the yellow is VERY yellow, and they should last a while. They seem a little short, but still work (I'm 6'2").
