W Capow Bib

Trew is the best.

I am so comfortable in these bibs - and I love the style with the slight pops of pink. Beyond the bibs, Trew has been so so amazing with their support team and helping me through some returns to ensure I had the right size working for me. They have an incredible product and support team. I love repping them

was skeptical

When I first tried these on at home, I initially thought these were too thick and stiff for uphill travel, and with my barefoot inseam a little longer than 32.5'', I regretted buying the longer inseam. It felt awkward, coming from using OR Hemisphere bibs that are super light and minimalist. I got to take the capow out last night and now I definitely love the length, especially because my AT boots are on the shorter side . It turns out the pant leg moves great going uphill --the articulated knee and loose fit all felt very smooth and easy. While the OR hemispheres are lighter, no better or worse than capow, I love the capow for feeling more durable, a better barrier between me and elements, while having a better design for dumping heat at both inner and out thighs, you can even unzip at the butt, and the torso on the way up if need be. Someone else mentioned the kokatat dry suit butt zip in comparison, and I have to agree with her--- this butt zip is way easier to use, I did not struggle to get layers out of the way or putting them back. It was a super awesome access point instead of the typical one long side zip that exposes your torso to the elements. I am getting used to the pockets near the chest being so small -they are perfect for the small clip lights I use, chapstick and beacon. The phone goes in one of the thigh pockets which is way more convenient than I ever imagined, and I don't notice it /it does not heed uphill movement. The fit was tricky, because if I tried this on in store, I would not have purchased them because of what I thought was an awkward fit with prohibitive movement. I kept them since shipping things back always feels like a pain, so I said "oh well." I'm glad I resigned to them, because they surprised me 100%. They are the best bib I have ever had in fit and function. They feel sturdy and ready, and I am crazy stoked on them.

Perfect bib!

These are hands down the best bibs I have owned!
