    Ski Bibs without side zips below the knee?

    I'm looking for ski bibs without side zippers below the knee so I can easily hem them shorter to fit my Hobbit inseam. I'm tired of rolling up the legs with zippers 3-4 turns and I'm too old to have that shit all bunched up and dragging around on the ground like the cool kids. What can the Maggot collective recommend?

    Patagonia Snowdrifter or Arcteryx Beta SV. I own both, I'm 5'8'' with short legs. If you can find the Beta SV's in the short inseam they're a great option. The Snowdrifters are really comfortable; flexible, quiet fabric for hardshell pants.

    Most resort oriented bibs don't have zippers below the knee. Of the ones I've owned, flylow, trew, and norrona all make bibs that'd work.

    Trewth bibs for sure don't. I'm staring at a pair.

    Trewth! I own them as well. The only downfall is their tissue paper cuff guards. I had heavy denier cordura sew’d onto mine.
