I was thinking about buying these and was wondering if anyone had any input. I know the BD website says they are new, but I was just wondering if maybe someone had bought them already.

Try them on. BD doesn't make anything that fits tall skinny guys (aka 75% of rock climbers).

I bought a pair of the dawn patrol (approach?) pants in a size large recently. I'm 6'2 with a 34 inseam, and strangely, they fit great. With the exception of that useless, slippery belt, of course.

Size small waist fits, but the inseam is only 30".

What's your waist measurement though TBrumme?

I tried the frontpoint pants and they were way too tight in the legs to layer over a thin softshell. I have a 34" waist and could not use the waist on the larges because it was way too big! XL waist, M legs on those pants. It sounds like the dawn patrols are roomier? I would love to know what the fit is like on the bibs. Can't try them on locally. Thanks.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
