Comments about Women's Third Reef Bibs:
I'm on my second pair of pants. The first delaminated; the waterproof lining flaked off making a mess. I wore them during a rainy race and was soaked by the time we left the dock. West Marine happily exchanged them and the replacements have endured two years of frequent and hard wear. I sail almost every weekend from Mar to Oct; race every Wed; go to about 7 regattas a season. I always wear my foulies because I take a lot of spray and I get cold easily. Now they are no longer water proof but for no observable reason; the lining is not flaking. I took a lot of spray in a regatta last weekend. I was soaked to the skin so it's time for new pants. I'll buy West Marine again because of the price point and the drop seat. Gotta have the drop seat.

Comments about Women's Third Reef Bibs:
I've only used these a few times for PHRF racing, but so far, I've found them quite sufficient and comfortable. They kept me dry and warm during the Harvest Moon regatta, which was pretty rough this year, but also were not too hot when the temp. warmed up. Also, I'm a little on the tall side, and I am quite happy with how they fit. I can't say how they would hold up under heavy use, but if you only need foulies once in a while and don't want to spend $300, these are for you!

Comments about Women's Third Reef Bibs:
This was great for the first few months - then suddenly the material leaked getting me chilled to the bone and soaked through and through. AWFUL! Now it's only windproof - expensive trash.
