Snow Pants for us?

[LD92599]

ISO reasonable (< $50?) snow pants / bibs for me. Any great deals either B&M or in store? I want to play in the snow w/ the kids!

I'm 5'4, 125lbs, and can fit in kids sizes - just bought a pair of kids wildcat pants from LLBean (girls size 16). The length was plenty long enough (I have a 30" inseam). The wildcat pants go up to size 18...

I have a super cheapie pair from Dick's, very similar to this pair (I got mine last year):

--they probably wouldn't hold up forever if I were an avid skier, for the 3 times a year that I wear them in the yard with DS, they're fine.

I purchased some through Sierra Trading. I also saw a ton of snow pants/bibs at Sports Authority a few weeks ago.

I bought a pair at Sports Authority, but they weren't the bib type of overalls -- just pants. They were the Columbia ones and there was a coupon which helped bring the price down.

The kids section at Target had bib overalls, but unfortunately none of the ones at our Target were bigger than kids size 14.

I have worn Columbia boys ski pants size 18 or 20 before, and they were fine except a tad snug across the hips. I just bought LE boys size 18 snow pants. THey're long enough and fit loose throughout, look more like snowboard pants, but they were less than $25, and will do the job. I don't have the time to try on a bunch of women's for size. So if you fit in a womens 6-8 like I do, you might want to try boys since they're a lot less expensive than women's in general.

Yeah, I was also going to suggest, that if you aren't very big, you can probably just get away buying teen boy bibs. Also, I have an old pr of just plain nylon athletic pants that I will wear over a pr of fleece or sweat pants and they basically work like snow bibs, b/c the snow falls right off of it. It's a nice way to utilize what you may already have.
