Excellent materials and workmanship.
The bib is great, but I have to try it under ski conditions, probably December 2008. The bib fits well with plenty of pockets including a large pocket in the chest area. The zippers at the bottom of the legs make it easy to put on. The cloth is thick and seems it will take some abuse in service.

Awesome bib
Great bib for the money it warm and tough, lots pockets, plenty wide at the bottom for snowboarding boot or ski boot- well worth it.

Solid ski bib
I used TNF's Men's Foundation bib for a recent spring ski trip to Telluride, CO. The bib definitely withstood the fresh powder (even when subject to my awesome wipeouts) and cold mornings as I stayed warm and dry. Even as the temperature warmed up in the afternoon, the zippered crotch vents were like a personal AC for my loins. The side zipper is a bit awkward in that it wasn't the most intuitive way to slip in and out of a bib. Also, the fly unzips from bottom to top and is fairly well hidden (so much so that I spent my first trip to the bathroom trying to find a way to urinate out of the side entry zipper). I wore the bib over a thermal skin and this was perfect for 30-45 degree skiing. Also, I'm 6 feet tall and about 180 lbs and had no problem with the size--while the bib does have belt loops, I felt that the suspenders were secure enough to keep me from streaking down the slopes. The cargo pockets were large and in charge, at least enough to comfortably fit a wallet, cell phone, and camera in a single pocket. In addition to the cargo pockets, it has two other pants pockets and one kangaroo pocket on the bib. Customer service was great--Altrec shipped it out before I seemed to have placed my order. I would certainly recommend this bib!
