Can any of you comment on the sizing of the Simms Challenger jacket and bibs? Do they run big, small, true to size? Looking for some reviews. Absolutely nowhere for me to try a set on before purchasing.

i think they're just about right. that said, i'd try them on. I tried on a lot of different sets (simms challenger, BPS100MPH, Cabelas guide wear) and went with the simms. They breathe really well in hot weather

Jacket is pretty true to size. Pants are a little on the tight side (and I’m scrawny).

I have long arms and can't wear Simms jackets or shirts. Even if I size-up to the XXL the sleeves are too short.

I'm 6'1" at 265lbs.  I have the Challenger jacket in the XXL .  Fits well, sleeve length is fine, room to wear a hoody under comfortably.  Don't have the bibs though.

I have the Simms Challenger jacket and bibs in 4XL, I'm 5'10" 290lbs (fat) lol, and them seem huge to me. That's ok, so I may layer. I do have the the Gill Tournament jacket and bibs in 4XL and they fit real good. I have the AFTCO Hydronaut in 3XL jacket and seems to fit in between the the Gill and Simms jackets. If I had to pick one, it would be the Simms Challenger outfit and Gill would be a close 2nd.

We had this conversation around dinner last night talking of sizes of different brands. We found that a lot of high end brands run large. I spend some time in the gym so I wear a XL in shirts but some brands I can get by with a large and I'm fine.

Seems odd that even in their Guide jacket, which is almost $500 for just the jacket, they don't have Tall option.

6'3" 215ish, I have the jacket in XL and the bibs in xxl for added length. The bibs are very roomy and could've likely gotten the XL but wanted to make sure they were long enough. Both the jacket and bibs have an elastic drawstring in the pockets that allows you to tighten the waist area. I have them in both insulated and non insulated. By far the best set of rain gear I've ever had. The insulated bibs and jacket are also the best I've had for warmth, comfort, and maneuverability.
