Anyone have any luck finding an inexpensive snow bib when you're short? We only go to the snow at most a couple of times a year. I tried one pair of youth sized and the length was great, but I couldn't zip them up.

@Boogs: I think they've fallen out of favor in the last couple of decades since most people now just prefer snow pants.

@Anagram: Ha and I love the suspenders lol. It usually allows me to carry things next to my chest when I need a free hand. Do you know of any great, pants?

@Boogs: I have some old North Face ski pants that are kinda like this that I like, because it's not an elastic waistband, but it is a stretchy waist (so I bought them pre kids but can still wear them now, 20 lbs fatter, haha). https://www.thenorthface.com/shop/womens-apex-sth-pants-nf0a2tj4-c1?from=subCat&variationId=JK3&cm_mmc=Google-_-ProductListingAds-_-ProductTerms-_-The+North+Face+Women+s+Apex+Sth+Ski+Pants+Size:+XS:+Regular+&gclid=CO3q-IXcptICFdmEswodiZMNSg

@Anagram: That's exactly what I need haha! Long ago I had pants, but they didn't have a stretchy waist and weren't super comfy. Then, I had kids and I'm not as skinny as I was anymore so those pants are long gone lol.

I got this pair 2 years ago, and they're still in great shape: http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p/outdoor-gear-womens-peak-bib-15ogewwpkbbxxxxxxaoa/15ogewwpkbbxxxxxxaoa?&color=Black - the shoulder straps are adjustable, which is awesome since I have a bigger chest, but may also work in your favor for shortness?

@raspberries: They look worth a try, but out of stock.
I'll keep checking back. Guess that's what I get for not looking sooner.

@Boogs: I don't have specific brand suggestions, since I also prefer the pants-only versions, but check out things intended for serious skiiers (who need the extra protection for deep powder) - Sites like backcountry.com and altrec.com might have some bargains in their outlet/clearance section!
